I work with others just fine. I do several different community volunteer projects every weekend, educate anyone willing to listen on how fucked everything is and how supporting any part of the uniparty will only continue to make things worse, join book clubs run by socialists, and help spread the word of actually good candidates at every level of government that run on third party platforms. This is how you begin the work to destroy and repurpose the machine.
I’m glad you’re able to do those things. A lot of people talk the talk online without actually living it offline.
That being said, I think “the uniparty” is just another way of saying “both sides bad,” a phrase uttered by right-wingers and right-wingers who fancy themselves fence-sitters while exclusively attacking left-wing candidates.
It’s a term that sanitizes apalling right-wing behavior while downplaying the work of progressives who take beatings, from “friend” and foe, while trying to accomplish anything that actually helps people.
I’ve no doubt that I just angered a few tankies by even calling members of “the uniparty” progressives, but as I said they’ll call them “genocidal imperialist capitalists” regardless.
