That’s a thoughtful response.

“They deserve to be elevated to power, not just used as a tool to turn out voters and then thanked for their efforts.”

What he said was “The party leaders dismiss the left while appeasing the treason party.” Warnock and Ossoff may be relatively moderate but they would never have won without massive activism by progressive organizations. DNC owes the left for its current successes—and best invest in them to retain their support. You…

“Black women so often lead the charge on behalf of our people and our communities because we need to save ourselves, knowing that no one else is coming to do so. And in fighting to lift ourselves up, everyone else inevitably benefits.”

Where do you post your political BS?

“but i’m waiting for one of you to really lay out an explanation of HOW, IN MODERN AMERICA, YOU CAN POSSIBLY WIN ANYTHING. the fact is that you’re a minority in your own party”

Dear Average Life-Long Republican,

Hey, the loud Georgia progressives called. They said to tell you “You’re welcome.”

“The widespread opposition to asserting the value of our lives should be a not-so-subtle indication that it is impossible to craft a sequence of words that will convince the people who profit from the status quo to overturn the system that benefits them.”

Michael Harriot at the Root has an excellent take on this:

People who are aggressive, insulting or dismissive piss me off as well. But I disagree that tone-policing young people is a productive use of time. I can only control what I do and say. That’s the only “advertising” I can access. The for-profit kind has clients with deeper pockets. Their politics is an advertising…

Black women are the soul of progressive politics. They carry the whole world.

I’m not running for election and don’t need any marketing. All I can do is agitate for what I want. Political campaigns pay advertising agencies in order to secure my vote so they can turn around and serve their donors who gave them the cash. The “opposition” campaign does the same, with the same donors. They don’t…

Of course I see difference between Obama and Bush or Trump; that’s why I voted for him and for Biden this time. What choice do I have? When you’re faced with choices like these you vote for the lesser evil. I don’t need to be lectured endlessly about it.

It’s a lazy tactic of bullies.

“Branding” is purposefully vague. It’s telling that politicians use the same advertising techniques that are used to sell deodorants. 

72,000,000 Americans find Donald Trump “likeable and charismatic.” So there’s that.

Yah, everybody knows “progressives” are just privileged white hipsters, amirite?
