Wait a minute, I've been told my entire life that the only possible ways to affect change are to protest, vote, and contact your representative.

But we protested all last summer and nothing changed?

Then we voted in Biden and still nothing changed?

And apparently representatives can just straight up ignore you?

It almost feels like these are intentional dead ends and mouse wheels that we are herded into in order to actually prevent change, and furthermore *doomerism alarm goes off and I'm dragged away to the reeducation camp to be force fed West Wing episodes Clockwork Orange style*

You are instructed to go through "proper channels" because those channels are the very dead end you are seeing. Electoralism is for the capitalists to get what they want, they get to bribe directly and call it lobbying. That's their proper channel and it works.

But liberals can already do this. The problem is that they don't like there being a large contingent who openly disagree with them and have bad opinions about them. I understand that they want to just discuss politics with their buddies, but if that's the case D&D can just make it explicit that non-liberals aren't allowed. They aren't willing to do this, because "their beliefs being objective reality" is part of their worldview - other perspectives must either be misinformation or trolls trying to stir poo poo up. When they discuss politics with their buddies, they want to perceive it as "intelligent people discussing recent events" (because that's how they see themselves) - not "a discussion among Democratic Party supporters."

I have very little sympathy for this, because liberals can freely express their opinions without criticism pretty much anywhere else on the internet (or in society in general). They can turn on the TV and see their opinions reflected there. This is not true for the left - SA is one of the only places with a decent-sized community where the left exists as anything other than a small minority. If the forums closed tomorrow, I'm not really sure where else I could discuss these things.

Basically, the people in question want a space where they can discuss politics among like-minded people without anyone else intruding on that. The forums aren't a good vehicle for that. The only way it could be possible is if a forum/thread was defined along specific ideological lines excluding anyone who might "intrude on" them, but they'd reject that because they don't believe their own views to be ideological/partisan. And as we frequently see, they even consider things like "talking about them or quoting them in another sub-forum" to be "intruding on that." You're never going to please someone like that without just purging everyone who disagrees with them.

yep. got this cute gem in my "maybe don't say texas voted for the leopard eating faces party when only a minority of them vote for republicans, many of those who don't vote at all being among the most vulnerable" honeypot

Boy, I can't wait until you shut the gently caress up so the rest of us can understand politics in peace; it's hard to talk about things that matter when we're explaining basic facts to you over and over again
