   viciously blaming all current problems on hypothetical leftists or nonvoters is a big win for fascists: they really want you sitting at your keyboard enraged at your own base or an abstract left wing. because then you’re not out building community with vulnerable people, you’re not having nuanced and intelligent discussion with folk who have different life experiences, you’re not — to put it bluntly — practicing the kind of solidarity that defeats fascism

     if you’ve ever tried to organize political change irl, you know that broad appeals on social media are a footnote to your real work of spreadsheets, phone calls, knocking on doors, and learning how to meet folks where they’re at & catalyze action. you know you don’t turn out your votes or actions by posting, and you definitely know that insulting people is not persuasive and gives your cause a bad name
