I have seen the betrayals and didn't have any hope in the system until Zohran Mandani made it through and showed that American politics CAN have a positive impact on the proletariat's life. Now I believe that we CAN course correct. It is just up to the grassroots organizers and people with the privilege to vote to drive that ONE method of change (electoral).

Brother, I am in the minority of Americans who are politically sentient and consider themselves Leftists.

If you think I am an enemy, then your movement will consider the majority of Americans, who are fully politically apathetic, as enemies.

The average American has far more favorable view of the police than I do. They think Law & Order: SVU is a documentary.

Not sure how you are going to get more than 30 people on board, my man.

Go to a protest and talk to real people about their views and listen. I would imagine that you hate protestors because they are 'performative', but those are the people who are invested in politics, aware of what is going on, and show up to voice their discontent. See how many people meet your criteria of 'not an enemy'.

You need a movement to create real change, you need people for a movement.
