There’s no way you can say it’s more important given that all the left has done is show up for protests, including multiple “greatest protests ever” and all the right does is shit post and has nothing but victories. That math doesn’t math.
I have no idea how none of you see this. It’s like horse blinders or worse, willful ignorance.

The Left is fighting an uphill battle. Capitalism is the status quo, and the US relies on imperialism using its vast financial capital and massive number of millitary bases to keep goods relatively cheap, but this is crumbling. Change works as quantitative buildup until significant, qualitative change. Orgs like PSL are growing rapidly. They are still small, but the rate of growth is large. Time is on the Left’s side.
Just look at Palestine, as an example. 5 years ago, the vast majority of the US was Zionist. Now, the majority oppose the genocide. Mamdani winning the primary in NYC shows that more overtly left-leaning individuals are valued over right-wingers like Cuomo. Change works on trends. History doesn’t reset every day, eventually water droplets bore through stone.

You’re literally saying my point but missing the whole picture.
Mamdani one out of spite. Not because the left did anything successful but because of the actions of the right. If we see more of these victory’s I’ll be happy. But right now I have yet to see the left do anything of any significance.
You bore through stone with digital media. It’s the only damn thing that makes sense. If the left truly believes it has the numbers then the only answers is to use this numbers to flood the zone. Use the Internet as a force multiplier.
If we truly believe the right are buying bots to push agendas there’s a fucking limit how much it costs. If we have the numbers, flood the fucking zone because when you flood the fucking zone it costs them more to counter it. Which is why the dominate comment among the left is … Say it with me… “Don’t wrestle with pigs” right? We all know that saying as if it was repeated in zones and we all read it over and over again and went yea it’s useless why would we ever give our opinion. We need to create content, not protest in the streets. We need to keep stories said news in front of people’s eyes through memes and shit posts. Let the good ones catch on. Taco last 24 hrs.
The reason the left is losing is not because of the right. They’re losing because of the left. The left is losing because there are traits that are inherent with being on the left that unless they figure it out, they’ll always lose.
These people are all talk “we’ll go punch a Nazi and fight in imaginary freedom wars” but can’t be bothered to spend a few hours a week building a network to share content to flood zones and at the very least make the rights ability to flood the zone much harder and costly.

No, lol. The Left is fine on the internet. You can touch grass and organize, and do online agitprop. Mamdani won because people are being radicalized.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I guarantee you Mamdani did not win because people are radicalized.
But I agree people are being radicalized. Cuomo’s had to kill everyone’s grandmother and Trump had to basically bring the empire to reality for Mamdani to win.
Let’s make a prediction here. I bet Mamdani is going to get crucified. The Lefts lack of awareness and ability to do what I’m saying which is control zones online will contribute massively to Mamdani failing. The right will pull every thing they can and sabotage him. The left having failed to build any networks will not be able to control the public opinion and will watch their one shot to show a more leftist politician can be successful.
