Somebody got really mad and condescending that I used the word "totalitarian" about the Chinese government, because as we know the advancement of human dignity resembles high school cafeteria cliques.
Whom exactly do you hold responsible for the shit education these “low information” (nice way of saying barely literate), voters received? Last I checked that defunded, heavily right wing censored, public education was the purview of government. True, local more than federal but still government
low information voter is a term that means voters who self report they don’t read articles about candidates, read policy positions or watch debates, don’t know what you thought it meant
Don’t and or can’t read articles of any kind ditto policy positions (I bet the first is more don’t the latter more can’t) if you do not or cannot read then you at least “aliterate” and de facto illiterate. So it means exactly what is said it did.
i am curious about the situation on the ground and how the economic policies are effecting the recent college graduates, but i went out to seek information about it
trying to reframe low info people into secret socialists is going terribly for leftism, you can’t indulge low trust and anti social behavior and think it will produce the society you want
Because the core tenet of the far left is that liberalism is their enemy. That's one of the reasons it's so easy for people to transition from far left to far right. (The shared populism is another.)
The main divide on the left these days is between those who believe the fascists must be opposed and the moderates can be won over and those who believe the opposite.
Yes this. It’s a complete misread of thinking the general milieu of anti-corporate trust is enough to go right to revolution, when it takes a lot more then just a low trust environment to accomplish that.
How about spending all your time and political capital chasing so called “undecided” voters to the right. A strategy with the same level of success as trickle down capitalism
No way! That Fudge Rounds guy who was mad about taxes and inflation is basically Mao reborn, as are all the people who get so spun up about Jeffrey Epstein they start sweating at the thought of vigilante violence

We've watched this strategy collapse half a dozen times just in the last 8 years!
Why do they keep demanding that Dems change their strategy, yet they refuse to take their own advice?
