Lives will literally be at stake. We all need some sobering perspective about the reality of a 2nd Trump administration. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago Let me be more clear: Berating people is not just ineffective, but sabotages the outreach done by people who are actually focused on winning. No one actually working on voter outreach or political persuasion wants you doing that. Calling out Trump's ills is fine and good, but berating people to vote doesn't work, it's just something to make yourself feel good. If that's actually all you're trying to accomplish, fine, message boards can be stress relief and entertainment, but don't fool yourself into thinking you're working to avert a Trump return. permalink fedilink source parent
