This Substack piece by Akilah Hughes, apparent left-of-center #BlueAnon, is one reason.
Yeah, I think you're a snowflake for turning off mentions.
And, as a leftist who did my duopoly exit at the start of the century, I think you're full of crap if you think all or most leftists who voted outside the duopoly did so to "own the libs" from the left.
Ultimately, it's a backdoor version of a Dem saying that Dems still own my vote. Given that, per her Substack's "about," Hughes worked at post-Dear Leader imperium PR shop Crooked Media, none of that is surprising. Sorry that she had to use a GoFundMe for serious health issues, per her link. More sorry yet that she didn't use that to call for national health care. Did she also use GoFundMe to make up what she had to pay Sargon of Assad?
Beyond that? No, you're not famous enough to write a memoir at 30.
And, per this piece, since you're an identitarian, and you were at least 18 in 2008, why didn't you vote for Cynthia McKinney?

If this person is halfway representative of professional-class Millennial-class Democratic voters? The party's up shit creek. These people (Hughes is the same age as AOC) have their own smugness toward third parties. Mark my words; taking the Greens as the largest of the (theoretical) leftist third parties, whomever the party nominates for president in 2028 will get a smug-attack, just like this from Hughes and the ones that Ocasio Cortez launched during the past campaign.

And, it's not just her. Per Ron Brownstein at the Atlantic, the folks at "Pod Save America" in general are still in some degree of denialism.
The AP reports similarly.
As a Green, I didn't vote for the crypto fascist Cynthia McKinney in 2008 because she had been a member of the Lyndon LaRouche Movement since 2005 and a tankie. I had spoken with Peter Camejo about her also who said she was Cobbs, the "Fusion Movement" and tankie influence within the Greens. I wrote in Hugo Chavez which means in Florida since he was not a legal write in, my vote was canceled and a way like in the rest of the America's a way to protest as a spoiled vote.
ReplyDeleteCort's comment has nothing to do with the issue at hand, of course. That said, a member of a political cult would know about political cults. And, yes, your SWP is at least as cultist as LaRouchies, Cort, and that's why I ran your comment.
