Well said. Yes, this is what self-identified-"leftists" miss out on. Their dismissal of Democrats is based in a child's fantasy of politics. In the real world, you have to win the election, move everybody up one, win another election, move everybody up one, win another election, etc. In the meantime, republiQans kick everybody back at-least-two either way, and the cycle repeats.

Magical leftist thinking says we all vote for gay space communism and tomorrow BAM it's replicators and free energy. Alas. There exists a timeline where that is at least sort-of-possible - but we ain't in it right now.

Yup. Lasting change requires shifting the Overton window to the left. Otherwise, you get something like Iran.

Leftism, at least the version currently prevalent on Lemmy, is literally religious thinking. There's in-groups and saints and prophets and holy scripture and a Rapture everyone keeps waiting for.
