So, what EXACTLY do you think is my purpose in creating propaganda like this post?

And why do you assume I am not doing more?

Is it projection?

I assume that you aren't doing more because almost all of the people bitching about the Dems only aligning with 95% of their views and therefore don't vote for the Dems because they're just as bad are accelerationists; they just want to make the system function even less well than it already does so that the whole things crashes and burns. Or, worse, in the case of someone like Jill Stein, are actively working against the interests of the country. Best case scenario? They're speaking to an in-group to harden people in a position so that they're less likely to engage with political opponents.

If you really, truly want things to change, you gotta do that shit on a 1:1 basis, in person. If you're serious about changing people and fixing shit, I'd suggest looking at techniques of street epistemology and reading David McRaney's "How Minds Change".

Maybe you should stop arguing with your fantasies and projecting your frustrations so you can engage with people who are actually doing the work.

I do. Do you? Or do you think that 'spreading propaganda' is 'work'?

It's one of the things I do. You don't know anything else about me, but you seem to think you do. All I know about you is that you can turn any subject into a conversation about yourself.
