Yeah, that’s why I mentioned upcoming PC support for PS VR2.

Biden and the DNC have made concessions for progressives too. I celebrate those victories because if I don’t I start to lose hope.

The last link contains the White House’s own stance on the issues. It’s good to see their takes and then fact check them.

I know he’s not nearly good enough. I hate that we had to compromise. But we have to keep our eyes on the prize and take our wins where we can.

Solidarity forever.

I don’t think he’s trying to “cuddle up with fascists”. The fascists don’t represent the entire party just as progressives don’t represent the entire democrat party. He’s trying to get the uneducated “always vote for the guy with the R next to his name” type dudes. They exist, plenty of ignorant people out there.

Have fun fleeing the country I guess!

It’s because progressives always vote blue anyway, when they do, and represent a small portion of the voter base. Most Americans are liberals

Hillary and Biden are both pretty decent candidates. They both seem to have poor electoral strategy though. Its so bad it almost seems by design

It was a joke

Thank you, that helps a lot.

Your perspective stated above doesn’t align with my idea of someone who would be politically active. I’m glad you are fighting the good fight instead of simply participating in slacktivism, and I wasn’t trying to imply that you personally did nothing. I’m implying that your stated perspective above discourages action by instilling a sense of hopelessness.

I am also politically active although not to the degree you are; I participate in protests and mutual aid as well as other smaller forms of political activism. I do as much as I can given my mental health, which is an ever increasing amount as I grow and heal.

If you are participating in politics, you should know that perspective and optics are massively important. Saying “we’re all doomed and there’s no point!” can be harmful, actually. Maybe it helps motivate you, but for most people it’s disheartening.

Kudos to you for that!
