this person describes it better than me:

Goddamn, that last paragraph speaks to me. I grew up in a little purple oasis surrounded by a desert of deep, deep red, and the idea that there are all these people just WAITING for a REAL LEFTIST to come along, whose ideas they'd all agree with and overwhelmingly vote for, because they only vote GOP because they don't believe Dems are GENUINE about SUPPORTING THE WORKERS is just...

... neither my experience nor supported by polling, nor supported by electoral results.

A lot of people have dogshit beliefs. A lot of work has to be done before they'd even consider voting for someone other than the fucking fascist party.

That resonates so well. Wish I had it when I was arguing with some idiot who was claiming that voting can't accomplish anything ever.

I blocked them after a while so I can't get their username, but if you check my latest comments you'll see them.
