  • Ya know, I’m somewhat convinced that leftist infighting isn’t really a thing irl. I’ve been to leftist socials and meetups and whatnot and we’re all talking about how much we agree. Even if we have differing ideologies, we all agree that the rise of fascism is the main threat. I think the fighting only really exists online where algorithms and anonymity get people frothing at the mouth. If the “Republicans” and “Democrats” of the future are anarchists and MLs, we’ve already made a ton of progress. In person, I think most leftists are most interested in getting to the point where our different ideologies are actually relevant.

    Graham Platner is not perfect but he’s far from the violent Nazi you’re portraying him as. He represents the Democrats moving towards populism and I think that’s a good thing. He will probably advocate for a lot of reform during his campaign that he falls short on in office but he’s still an expansion of the Overton window leftward.
