I was saying that you pointing it out in my comment was the binary, black and white attitude. I say: "We on the left have been tackling this problem wrong, most American's don't care about the issues we keep hitting them with." To which Lefty Clone #409687 says "How can you hate marginalized people so much you're willing to turn your back on them????"
It sounds exactly the same to me as "You want to help children in Gaza? How can you empower anti-semitism???" In that, one has nothing to do with the other. It's an artificial binary used to keep us from getting anywhere. Yah, we did too much scolding and identity politics and abstract worries that people don't see... Covid should have been our wake-up call that people's minds have changed or melted out their ears, we should have focused on issues that average americans actually care about, we should have leveraged their selfish worries and used their fear to fight the system that wants to send us all to camps. Then we could have done better and pushed our desires for a just and equitable world back on stage and got that shit protected... we were even making progress on it for a little while. Then everyone started falling for the same distractions.
