More. If this is true, then a bunch of leftist "organizers" decided to let Donald Trump win the election. Their choice and nobody else's. And so of course now they play up D ownership of the Gaza disaster (ignoring Netanyahu's collusion with Trump) in order to avoid a hard look in the mirror.

YES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH F--KING EASIER

Yelling because I am still angry at the hours and dollars I spent trying to help folks get the Dems to Not Support F--king Genocide. Warned for a damn year that if the election was what was so damn important maybe y'all needed those organizers but NOPE.

Now if y’all think it was better to do a genocide than have a bunch of motivated people do free work for you/ then I suggest you do that work instead next time (it’s real frustrating work because the Dems will foil you at every step)

Is it a /decision/, to stand against people who empty their copious stores of destruction to smother innocents beneath the rubble of hospitals, schools, and places of worship? Is that how people who chose /not/ to act experienced it? Fascinating.

“D ownership of the Gaza disaster”

1. disaster not genocide???
2. D ownership, as if the democrat complacency is something we “play up”.
3. Is this the way we will see genocide denialism going forward?

a funny thing for me is that i keep saying dems could win more without giving lefties like me a goddamn thing if they'd just divulge more of their warchests to paying organizers instead of asskissing consultants, instead of relying on unpaid volunteers doing all the real work for them

"you have to give us your vote. you have to also be constantly excited for the dems, no criticism. you also have to perpetually, permanently, be doing the on the ground organization and outreach for them, with no pay, no support, and the party often actively working against your goals". wow. cool!

one of the reasons georgia had a surprise dem victory in 2020 was a bunch of on the ground people doing voter registration and organizing efforts LONG before the election, including registering people at police protests. local AND national dems repaid these efforts with: "we love cop city, fuck you"

The vote difference Biden got to win MI in 2020 was folks laying that groundwork long before and up through the election, esp Detroit, Dearborn, campuses. And got genocide. Tried to warn with the Uncommitted vote. And got shown their votes didn't matter (until the Dems lost then it was their fault).

it's truly incredible. they want to win while not only conceding nothing on policy and little to nothing on rhetoric, but they also don't want to have to pay for actual organizers to do the nitty gritty boring tedious stuff. they want unpaid volunteers they owe nothing and can ignore to do it.

imagine the tea party but without right wing millionaires being willing to SPEND MONEY to make it happen

i was wondering what happened to all that progress in 2024 just seemed to evaporate

spacetwinks.bsky.social•10 hours ago

they really think they shouldn't need to do anything other than what they already wanted to do to win. beyond any policy choices, they're not even willing to fund groups to do the basics of shit like voter registration and making sure people can get to the polls. their wallets are locked.

but plz still we need 15 no $20 from u rn or we gon explode fam

spacetwinks.bsky.social•11 hours ago

like it's not enough to demand your vote, and your money, they also want all the rest of your time and your effort, and want to give you nothing for it. no pay, no policy concessions, not even a figleaf of rhetoric. doorknockers are just supposed to pound pavement for dems forever.

anyway now remembering that the dems themselves dismantled OFA after obama won, and when those dumbass o'keefe videos came out, voted in the same WEEK to defund ACORN, while they still had congressional majorities. 83-7 in senate, 345-75 in house. september 2009.

they didn't want the help.

jenelaina.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Worked for ACORN in MI in late 2007-early 2008 (had to stop bc my coworker's car was totalled).

Guess what we were working on? Trying to avoid foreclosures w/ help for owners and trying to get legislation passed bc ACORN KNEW THEN A HOUSING CRISIS WAS F--KING IMMINENT.

But yeah. Worth destroying.
