    I did enough Hillary defending to last a thousand lifetimes.

    Something about that line just seems exceptionally depressing.

      he has been posting a lot of mutual aid stuff. i use to be really on the fence about this guy but he is a perfect example of how it's possible to not only reform libs/reactionaries but actually consider them an asset now. Not gonna rant but there are a few very big youtubers that went from right to left but they don't do any of this at all and that is partly why i refuse to accept them being "reformed." seems more opportunistic than anything

        There are definitely a few ex-liberal grifters out there but Chairman Daou definitely seems like the real deal. o7 to our Chairman.

    If he keeps this up, people are gonna need to defend Peter Daou from Hillary :epstein:

    this guy gives me just slight hope that there's some shred of faith to be had in radicalizing libs. it'd be nice to be able to isolate the exact moment that made him open his eyes, so that we could use it to educate people.

      Important to remember that only rarely will radicalization, or any significant change, come out of one moment in particular, let alone one in the form of a conversation

      Its the sum of a lot of things and then the straw that breaks the camels back. That means consistent education and investment, and ideally community

      I mean, a lot of leftists are radicalized former libs. Now if you're talking about lib politicians, that's gonna be pretty rare and dependent on the individual.

      Not sure why, exactly, but I did see a lib on my timeline post a "what if" story about Hillary not that long ago.

          Unfortunately not that introspective lol. If I remember correctly it was something along the lines of "What if Russia hadn't interfered in the elections".
