we should have an honest conversation about how the left can’t form a coherent argument because it’s divided between those who would give up the spoils of imperial conquest and people who think empire can be reformed into something good

even if you think the masses aren’t aware of these ideological conflicts they absolutely are

if the american left had a shared vision of the future, even a dog shit one, this wouldn’t be as much of problem as it’s going to keep being

ah well, c’est la vie

(and here’s where i’ll reveal my own biases and say the electoralists exist solely to exacerbate this problem)
