  • I actually think the lesson is (from listening to lefties, tankies and to dems after the election):

    If your strategy relies on votes from the 1% fringes, then you're probably going to lose. If you can't convince normies to vote for you, you're lost.

    • Both are necessary, is the issue. The normies aren't politically active enough to reliably push a majority of the vote, and the fringe is (by definition) not large enough to do it itself.

      You end up with 45% normies and 5.1% fringes, and losing even a little sliver of either means you lose.

      Politics in this country is fucked.

      • But the fringes are fickle, that's what I'm saying, if they are decisive, they will disappoint you. There is a long list of demands that you'll never be able to meet or if you do, you're potentially going to anger the right-wing of your voters and lose more than you get.

  • "Harm reduction" apparently includes selling billions in weapons to israel while they carry out genocide and shutting down campus protests speaking out against that genocide. Seems pretty fascist to me.
