Politicians and governments do not help address the systematic issues we are facing out of goodwill; we must stop being apologetics and celebrity worshippers.

It is much healthier to continue to grow and learn from those that do not share our way of thinking; we all create self-built echo chambers and have biases.

I hope this helps you understand my view that we must continue to be highly critical of politicians (governments, oligarchs, corporations, and people with influence and power), and we must continue to force them to do the bidding of the working class.

Disdain toward something I said… is taken into account…

I hope we may come together on other topics we may share.

All is well, peace.

His continued support and nominations for politicians that accept donations from the wealthy (the oligarchy and the corporations) would beg to differ.

Sabby addresses this in the video.

fragment the left

Being apologists and celebrity worshippers does not benefit the working class; we must push and force politicians to do our bidding.

Being critical and calling them out directly, where they are failing their constituents, should be the norm.

The duopoly will always push what benefits the owner class (the oligarchy and corporations) while giving crumbs to the working class (while ignoring the systematic issues our country continues to have).

Don’t we all!

Many people that I share (on here, and I have communities for some of them) were big supporters and volunteers for Bernie’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns.

That is why we must continue to learn and speak with people with diverse ideas and those who push dissent.

They help us question our own bias and self-built echo chambers.

Instead of pushing for what the working class wants, he continues to push people towards the status quo and the duopoly.

demanding moral purity from politicians

I see it as not being apologetics and celebrity worshipers; we have to force politicians to move to the left. Defending them keeps the status quo and resulted in Trump being elected a second time.

We do not have a party in the US that pushes and fights for the working class.

We have many politicians that act and talk like they are populists, but they are just pushing pseudo policy, where the owner class benefits and the working class gets crumbs.

That is why it is required to build a grassroots movement that will address and continue to fight for improving the working class struggles.

Workers Strike Back is an organization that is willing to do that.^[1]

I suggest looking into Kshama Sawant and all the work and effort she has and continues to do.
