They people leading the FTV movement have literally split, antagonized, and smeared people who are working outside of Democratic Party apparatus to get people healthcare because they don't think this tactic will work. Which of course it won't, because it was intentionally designed to help the Posters Party, not work towards getting people healthcare.
Yeah both sides of this argument are total dumbasses for thinking that they will ever see their interests represented in literally way in American politics.
My argument from the beginning over this tactic is that for M4A to happen, there will have to be sufficient organization outside of Congress to be able to cause sufficient harm to the capitalist class such that M4A is the more preferable alternative, which obviously involves a great deal of labor organizing and other organizing efforts. And that as such, this FTV movement, which supposed that they can rely on the corporate media to highlight, in the movements favor, a spectacle showing why the Democratic Party as a whole won't deliver M4A, and from which a new movement will spontaneously spring forth, will not be successful. It relies on the capitalist media to cover the fight at all, let alone in a way favorable to the movement, and supposed that 'if the people just knew" that they would rise up. If FTV came near the end of an organizational strategy that was coupled with strike actions, boycotts, etc. I think it might be an effective tactic to get M4A.
When I initially voiced that sort of criticism when this all initially started, I was accused of not wanting people to have healthcare. So apologies for being hostile to you personally, but I've reached the end of my rope with a lot of the people pushing this shit.
More doomer nonsense. "Nothing is achievable".
Escaping Earth's orbit is possible, but you'll never do it by flapping your arms really hard.
