Don’t know if organizing makes sense anymore (in deep red towns at least) (hexbear.net)

I’ve shat on my local organizing group enough on here but I feel like I’m pretty safe to keep continuing to do so. They want to use GroupMe for communication and signal for “on the ground, confidential communication at protests.” I’m sort of the only one pushing back but I’m not a leader, so I have no power whatsoever. Sounds absolutely disastrous

Unfortunately I probably sound very paranoid to most in this group because lot of people do this to make themselves feel better (which you can’t really argue against).

But yeah there is nothing that resembles an organized left in 2025 and I’m starting to feel like there will never be. I’m afraid what I’m describing is happening all over the country, and how could it not be? A lot of people in my (duct-taped) org are holding out for the democrats’ hard shift left. It’s just depressing at this point

holding out for the democrats’ hard shift left

what is there to even say at this point? another lucy and charlie brown emoji hardly seems to capture how out of touch that seems. like a firefighter who believes in phlogiston theory. but hey I would love to be proven wrong by waking up to a story about Hakeem Jeffries personally leading revolutionary cadres and calling for class war against the rich
