    No its, vote blue no matter who* only applicable if the said blue candidate is not progressive

    and the whole fucking time we are voting in primaries, it’s all “progressive candidates can’t win the election” and astroturfed lies and slander using democratic funds to hurt itself in its own confusion. want my vote? field candidates that i would vote for.

    and no kings is performative at best

    my issue isn’t in the legitimacy in the eyes of the news media. it’s very obvious that the media is hostile to progressive direction.

    my gripe is that protests are used to diffuse public pressure. it’s a tool to prevent change, another circus. any sort of leverage such a group could get to enact actual change is directly fought against, as unacceptable. their only goal is to get more people to vote democrat. but makes no demands from the democrats and is complicit in its rightward side.

    in history peaceful protests do not acheive change as they are easy to ignore, yet we are taught otherwise, and said training conveniently ignored the more uncomfortable implementation of leverage to force change that are instead attributed to these protests. history is white washed in order to protect the stability of the exploitative system. any victims of said system are just collateral
