"I already vote! What more do you want?!?"

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

This is the big problem. A lot of the liberals I know acknowledge that things aren't normal and someone needs to do something, but they don't know what to do because the only thing they know is that the answer is NOT communism, because they're the same as Nazis.

Convincing people the US sucks isn't too hard for me nowadays. Convincing them the answer is socialism is more difficult.

They need to be convinced Capitalism sucks. It's really hard and I wish I knew an answer. At least I have hope people are moving left and past the "vote blue no matter who nonsense"... maybe

If you even start to try to explain how this year is the inevitable outcome and endgoal of capitalism and isn't an anomaly, they either go fully defensive or shut down completely.

A lot if libs are comfortable with where they are financially and aren't going to be reachable. The people who never vote are the people who I believe are more likely to organize.

We should spend less time tabling outside farmer's markets and more time tabling at unemployment offices, social services offices, and courthouses.

That's a good point. The argument for Socialism needs to start with capitalism sucks and caused all the problems yiu have, and that is probably a lot easier for the people capitalism is failing to understand.
