<FauxReal> Mithaldu, what is your prescription for the American left then?
<Mithaldu> I understand the value of keeping potential allies. Politically i am in agreement with the vast majority of vaush' positions ... practically ... fuck there are things i do not know if i can legally say them. So let me handwave at the 2nd and rule 303, but that's a pipe dream. There is nobody in the usa with the balls or knowhow to do it.
<Mithaldu> So in the meantime? Get biden in, mend bridges with warren, support bernie. As much as y'all hate warren. She's a fucking powerhouse when it comes to policy. She's a nerd. She can be immensely useful. Have her work together with bernie as the idea+feelings man, and have them support biden and be able to use his power. THAT'S the kind of cooperation the left needs. And i say this as someone who is in bernie's texting campaign. So it's not like i'm a warren stan.
<FauxReal> She's a fucking goof, but I think she's trying to do the right thing.
<Mithaldu> FauxReal, the term is "policy wonk". The left also needs to understand that by propping up and supporting the progressive left politicians that ran alongside biden, you gain power to pressure biden. I think even steyr isn't an entirely lost cause.
<FauxReal> Mithaldu I support Warren to the degree that she supports egalitarian policy. She does incrementally better than most lawmakers.
<Mithaldu> Yep. And fuck, talking about this actually is making me emotional and sad. Because it's a fucking real way forward but i know the american left is incapable of jumping over its own shadow to make it happen. Too busy spamming snake emoji.
