    so, why not run candidates on “we must secure the existence of our people”? will nathan j robinson take it as a sign that centrist democrats can now be defeated as well? the phrase is obscure and not known among wide public as well.

          a neutral and accurate description of an american voter is not socdem dipshittery. this is the psychology of the average american voter. this is a fundamentally rightist nation at its core, especially in extremely white and rural parts of the country like maine. if the fancy lad made an excuse for this behavior in some way, then show that, but right now you’re just complaining about the acknowledgement that the average american voter is still incredibly ignorant and reactionary. any socialist movement you imagine, whether it be vanguardist or anarchist, will have to contend with that. you are reading innocence into this, and you apparently need to figure out why you need him to end every statement analyzing the electorate with “and that’s why electoralism is bad” so you understand that it’s analysis.

          he’s being an electoral pervert. i think he’s just describing why something works with liberal conservatives and conservative liberals.

          people like AOC and Platner are just part of a DNC consultant civil war and one should not expect much from them. or the electorate
