which is why I said fully invested. if they aren't invested enough to vote, they are just default libs because they were born here, just like literally everyone else who was born here, you and me included.

I'm thankful that the queer and BIPOC libs who voted for Harris will be forced to consider participating in organizing out of fear of Trump instead of rolling over and letting Harris usher in WW3 without pause. White libs will keep sliding right but I have a little hope that other people will see the writing on the wall like they did under the first Trump president before immediately wiping their minds for Biden

No you see the just Ukrainian cause is so important that we have to go and fight because they are literally like the elves from lord of the rings and the ruZZians are evil orcs from mordor (in lord of the rings) and so if you go there to help fight you are basically a super hero morshupls

I enjoy most of their content and most of them seem like fun and cool people as far as people go, Grant being one of my least favorite for several reasons but still funny sometimes. I think it is less a "leftist for clout" situation at the outset and more like what most radlibs (dem socs, anarchists especially) do which is sincerely want a better world but have a very surface level of theoretical development and will not prioritize that over developing a career and becoming a stable beneficiary of imperialism treat enjoyer. I have high hopes for Beardsley to be the vanguard of dropout employees but I think it is more likely that dropout's continued success will lead them all in the direction of $$

and tbh I am harsh and think calling to vote for kamala is cringe but its a pretty standard and typical position in this country and it isn't surprising that publicly these up and coming celebrities would want to seem like "normal progressives" even if they have deeper more revolutionary desire, hopefully that is the case but I have a lot of doubt about that

I had high hopes for him and do love his work but yeah he definitely could do better to embody the characters he is very good at writing and portraying. Although he is now a parent and is becoming progressively more wealthy through a career in Hollywood so it is much more likely that his trajectory will trend the other way

Yeah Beardsley getting arrested and also not promoting voting stuff is why I excluded them but giving money to charity and being pro-labor can easily be lib positions in the current climate. Giving money to Palestinian charities and then saying vote for Kamala is not even radlib, its just lib

Outside of Ally Beardsley who I have not seen promote voting for Kamala or taking part in fundraisers and phone banking for Kamala, the rest of them are at most on the LA DSA mailing list and otherwise just make more and more money in Hollywood and get hired into more and more Hollywood jobs. Even Brennan was just promoting voting on his stories yesterday, these are the "free Gaza, vote Kamala" types of libs who want the aesthetics of leftism as a virtue signal and marketing tactic. I follow a lot of them and have been seeing all the cringe most of them have been posting

Nah the most political any of them are is LA DSA mailing lists (not actively organizing) except Ally Beardsley maybe. Even Brennan just posted all these stories yesterday about how to vote and why it is important etc etc. They are making a lot of money in Hollywood now, they want to use the aesthetics of leftism to virtue signal but they are the type of libs who say free gaza and they vote for the person doing the genocide because cheeto man bad

Looks like it is to punish workers for hooking people up or giving deals
