I'm not saying cash transfers don't matter. I'm saying "Trump gave me more cash, end of story" is a really bad take. I don't see any leftist org taking that line, just online contrarians.
leftists in the US have done the complete opposite for decades, it's been nothing but entryism for the last 50 years; Bernie and his supporters voted for Clinton and Biden
That was the big exception, not the rule. The only leftist org that does serious entryism is the DSA, which 10 years ago wasn't even a factor. What passed for the left from basically the 70s to Bernie trotted out "both parties are the same" all the time -- see that RATM video playing clips from the 2000 campaign where Bush and Gore were saying startlingly similar things.
