And yet, I’m still out here doing real work and winning fights.

Keep posting through it. 😘

Cool story, dipshit. Go fantasize about your never-gonna-happen farm.

Remember, you inserted yourself into this conversation. Then got testy when I asked your random ass for literally anything to back up your claims.

FOH, you’re past your depth. Clearly.

If you think the same tired messaging frameworks that were working back then will work now I’ve got some bad news.

Also being one of the PIRGs is not the flex you may think it is. I watched them absolutely hamstring ProgressNow with their milquetoast bullshit until we got them off the board.

Nobody said it was, but if you’re going to make a claim like that, I’m going to ask you to back it up. Pretty simple.

So settle down.

What causes/orgs/etc. specifically.
Words are easy, and you’re not using a real name so I’m going to give you a chance to show some bona fides before I decide how to continue with this conversation.

Also, I’d like to see that breakdown.
January 13, 2025 at 5:33 AM
Sure thing.

That’s a fair opinion, but I’m saying this as someone who does this messaging for a living, so my perspective might be slightly different.

They punch, and we respond with a 7 paragraph essay about the systemic nature of violence and point out that hitting isn’t OK.

Meanwhile our nose is bleeding on our shirt and the fist is headed to our face again.

And then we wonder why we’re perceived as being weak and ineffective.

Definitely agree on the action side! No permission, no consensus. However, ceding the public square (IMO) to the morons is how we lose the normies that make up most of the electorate.

When we’re communicating, we can’t be afraid of being mean or rude to those who deserve it.
