‘I listened to videos about how he will help’: Latino voters turned to YouTube, WhatsApp for election information

  • How do you address the material conditions of people who reject addressing the material conditions if it also helps someone who isn’t them.

    I think the sort of help you're talking about is of political policy (ie free lunches at schools). I am speaking of direct action by volunteers (ie running a community pantry). When you engage in the community, conversations happen and that is when you can challenge biases in a non-confrontational setting.

    If you cannot find solidarity in the masses then what is it you're looking for? A Vanguard party to reeducate the masses?

  • Nah, this is why citizens need guns. If a good guy with a gun was there then the body count would have been much lower. The car incident is why we should also give people their own personal shoulder mounted RPG.

  • only way to fix the media is to fix the voters.

    This narrative serves the capitalist class and cannot be proven. You don't "fix" voters, you create solidarity by dealing with their material conditions (engage in mutual aid).

  • We can blame voters or fix our media landscape. You can do both, but we need to do the latter to have a functioning democracy.

    • Do the ultra-rich consume popular media?

  • Consider that many people who watched the Joker and idolize him didn't get that the movie was speaking against the character. Fascists don't understand camp, and so they don't get that it's a critique unless the director explicitly tells them so.

    • Bernie would have won—that the leftist-refrain is tiresome, doesn’t make it any less true

    Jump

  • Maybe, but it's all academic if we don't have the power to get him nominated. I am reminded of a quip: "We elect people without power and we're surprised that they're powerless to change things". That is the best case scenario if the DNC had somehow nominated Bernie. We need to build power, no matter what our strategy or objective.

    In regards to Bernie, his premise is that wealth inequality is the core problem, which means tax the rich until they can't have an outsized influence on our politics.
