For the long version, you can listen to this campaign postmortem interview with ex bernie campaign staff. This jacobin article covers the same topics although I haven't really read the jacobin article.

For the short version:

The faction within the Bernie campaign representing the political operatives actually doing the campaign work out in the handful of states the campaign decided to target at first resisted unionization because it was though that any word of labor unrest would hurt bernie. What ended up driving the workers to finally unionize was their collective horror that the campaign bosses had a terrible strategic plan and would lead them all to ruin.

thank you!

A few reasons but as a baseline you can start with two addages: "hurt people hurt people" and "the internet makes people stupid"

the gap between what idpol actually is and the narcissistic fever dream of liberal fawning over diversity like it’s a loving harry potter sorting house is disconcerting to say the least

i get it, though. when society grinds you under its heel as a matter of policy because of the circumstances of your birth, anyone willing to confirm what you believe about society and actually tell you that you’re special is gonna sound like a pretty good deal. the conflation of that with a sort of mythical insight into all things is just a woke variation of rich guys deciding that they’re experts on any and all topics.

there are a lot of real fuckin psychopaths who just want to recreate their own trauma with reversed power dynamics tho

I also think a lot of people pushing idpol have ignored or never bother to figure out that “we are oppressed, if people from our community who look like us and are also oppressed can have a seat at the table, our issues can be addressed” is a fundamental part of what idpol comes out of. They just reduce it to “people who look like us” and don’t bother with the part where representation comes out of the same community and where the representatives have endured and understand and hope to end the shared oppression.

I just remembered that time early in Obama's first term when Russia invaded Georgia, and in the first few Fox News/CNN comments dipshits thought Russia had literally landed troops in the US. USA invaded in their minds all they could do was... post about how Obama let it happen.

american liberals screeching about how this invasion of georgia was the first step in putin's master plan to take over the world and we had to activate NATO and go to war in the caucasus to save the free world lol

then the UN looked into it and the georgians had been shelling ossetia and abkhazia for weeks before the russian intervention and suddenly it was a very complicated situation and we can't jump to conclusions but we still need to contain the moskal threat

“As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them–they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of the stuff? It's over,” the President said aboard Air Force One yesterday, according to the official White House transcript. “As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall.”

the weird thing is I remember driving around town with my mom as a kid listening to 90s country radio and hearing Neil McCoy songs.

and then 30 years later he's still out there but doing... something else

e: lmfbo I just perused his wiki and his first career move was to marker himself as NEIL MCGOY
