She was a lib in 2020 but also a lib in 2016 too.

It almost reads like it’s supposed to be an apology for her previous liberalism.

Maybe she’ll flip on Biden in 4 years, who knows?

True, but I just hate the “vote blue no matter where” crowd. Telling voters in New York and Texas to vote for Biden is total bullshit advice. People in safe states should be told to vote for the leftmost candidate possible at the presidential level or vote with their feet come the general if they are really so fucking scared.

Is anyone surprised by this? Contrqpoints has always been a liberal, I don’t think she’s even made an attempt to hide it or anything.

It’s more people on left circles of the internet desperately hoping that she’s not a lib.

Yeah her top comment on the AMA is literal great man theory. Like yeah organisers are important and vastly undervalued in modern movements, but they need a group of class and imperialist conscious people to actually, y’know, organise.

But does anyone expect anything different from liberals?

But in Natalie’s earlier work it was clear that contrapoints (a vaguely ultra left lib) was one political character, in a conversation with others (tabby, Justine, foppington, whatever her leather fash character was called)

Let’s add Natalie to the list of people that we all need to stop paying attention to or posting about. If I wanted to see a :LIB: say certified :LIB: shit every day I’d just go on Twitter.

Fabians were eugenicists.

We just need to convince Biden to read more George Bernard Shaw.

“It’s better to have Biden, so we can pressure him, right?”

Progressives: “Yes! Vote Blue no Matter Who!”

“Ok, he’s in, let’s pressure him”

Progressives: :bugs-no: :blob-no: :wojak-nooo:
