  • I’m all for holding Democrats accountable, genuinely, but it has to start from an honest assessment of where power actually is. Right now, they don’t have it. You can’t hold someone accountable for stopping something they don’t control.

    What’s frustrating is watching people correctly identify that the system is rigged against leftist movements, and then somehow translate that into: “The system is irredeemable, so anyone engaging with it is complicit, and I’m morally superior for standing outside it.”

    It functions as carte blanche to feel righteous without requiring the hard work of actually preventing the worst actors from burning things down.

    Yes, protest. Riot if that’s your lane. Grassroots organize. Build dual power. Do all of it.

    But in the meantime? We have to work with the system where we can, while trying to tear it down where we can’t. They’re not mutually exclusive. One preserves the space to do the other.

    Genuinely asking, what does “every possible public action” look like on Monday morning that wouldn’t get him, and the platform he’s built, completely sidelined?
