They did stuff like that for this primary and all it got was AOC shivved for a committee leadership.

They will always do that to the left. They will never be fair to us, because our ideals are in complete contradiction to everything they stand for. The best way to adapt to such a situation is to accept it, and to lean in to that fight, because our ideals are in the interest of the majority of the population and they already hate our opponents.

I think this just got overly focused on as a flashpoint issue for something that doesn’t really matter.

The next decade, there won’t be a better opportunity to pass medicare for all then now: during a pandemic when millions lost their health insurance and the left has the numbers to exert leverage. That being said, all #forcethevote is about, is about wanting elected officials on the left to use their leverage. If they other concessions, that’s also fine, but the campaign identifies correctly that (a) medicare for all should be the main rallying cry for the left in the US and (b) it’s almost impossible to create better circumstances to explain the necessity of M4A than the current ones.

That’s a pretty compelling argument, thanks for laying it out.

And thank you for engaging in good faith.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
