We keep trying. People keep screaming “You’re helping Trump!” whenever we post a TikTok about the Nakba or show up at an anti-ICE protest with our cameras on.

Hard to be the change you wish to see in the world when you’ve got a line of self-proclaimed moderates throwing bricks through your window because you didn’t applaud Gavin Newsom loudly enough.

Are you, right now running for office or supporting someone who is? Are you doing anything IRL to get someone progressive to win the primary, or just complaining to the choir online?

If you throw your hands up in the air and declare defeat in advance, you’re doing the establishments work for them.

    Good! 90% of the time it’s just whineing about Newsom being the shoe-in, while doing fuckall about it!

    That’s certainly the internet refrain.
    
    Weird that the people most enthusiastic about politics always gather together to accuse one another of not participating. But it sure does feed one’s sense of smugness to say it.
