I swear to god the double trauma of COVID and Trump during formative periods of some peoples’ lives made it pathologically impossible for them to take a win for even a day or two. That’s how you burn the fuck out. Don’t rest on your laurels, but making people feel like nothing is ever enough is how you get them to stop showing up.

    We have plenty of wins, built on the hard work of working class Americans door knocking, phone banking, canvassing, signature gathering, etc.

    I've always been a fan of the color red. Imagine if (let me dream) the republican party falls and the DSA can take red as their color against the establishment dems' blue. Fighting on the red side would feel good then!

    Gonna need like 50 years to wash the stank off that color. Every time I see a red baseball cap I get alarmed and concerned about a very untrustworthy person I should avoid. Usually it's just a sports team hat but it never fails to raise my blood pressure.

    I see it a lot in organizing, like taking even a second to breathe is going to accidentally infect you with an airborne centrist virus.

    And then the going gets rough and all the "We can rest after the revolution" types are burnt out so they start publicly infighting at the first disagreement because they're tired and hopeless and miserable.
