    Democratic Party leadership has known this to be a factor for decades, and has steadfastly refused to adapt to the existing political reality.

        So you understand the political reality and recognize that party leadership needs to adapt to the electorate they have.

        And we know if they gave into the demands of social justice warriors, we’d have to live in a more just society!

        How awful.

          Oh man, if only there was a way for them to force acceptance of these beneficial ideas. Like getting local reps elected who support those ideas to push the party as a whole farther towards those ideas. Instead of just saying “but it’s for a just society!” Once every four years and then wondering why they never get support.

          I agree it would be awesome if we could make a hard shift left and move to a more just society for everyone in it but dreams don’t just pop into reality, there has to be work done and I don’t see a lot of them helping out. Certainly not where I’m trying to gather support for the same ideas. Always “too busy to help” until a presidential election rolls around, which is fucking infuriating.

          If only people here bothered to try and understand how nuanced actual politics are and that shit can’t be simplified so easily just because you happen to think in simple terms.

            I bow to your clearly highly nuanced take of checks notes “people who care about social justice are a bunch of whiners who are bad at politics”.

              It’s pretty well understood that the term SJW represents your typical keyboard warrior that whines about politics they don’t like or understand during election years to the point that they will urge people not to vote only to spend the time between election years complaining about the results of their inaction.

              They’re not part of the solution, they’re part of the problem.

                From the sorts of things I’ve seen, it’s anyone with “blue hair and pronouns”, particularly if they have had a particularly viral moment that can be easily inserted into “Woke SJWs OWNED” clip compilations. Typing on a keyboard doesn’t make for very good visual content, but I suppose posts clipped to show how cringe SJWs are is probably what you’re referring to.

                Somehow, I doubt you have a full picture of their political activities based only off what someone else was able to turn into ragebait.

                  Okay. We’re clearly not talking about the same thing, and I don’t argue with people that rearrange my words and spit them back at me in the form of things I never said.

                  Stop doing that, and have a good day.

                    Perhaps you should consider people as more than what they post on social media, especially given how many of those platforms have a financial interest in showing you things that make you mad. I don’t see much political relevancy in the sentiment that the problem with the current political climate is that people aren’t voting hard enough, but if you’re committed to complaining online that people spend too much time online complaining and not enough time voting harder, then I wish you luck.

              So you think trade agreements that go back decades and overcoming partisan congressional policy is simple?

              Why aren’t you doing it then, bud?

              Because from where I see things, just simply saying:

              “I don’t like when he cOmMiTs a gEnOciDe!”

              isn’t doing shit to stop it- and is only hurting the chances anyone has to not make it exponentially worse when Donald “let’s finish the job” Trump takes over.

              Because you see, although you seem to get upset when I call people propagandists, it’s not a huge leap to make when you’ve asked these people time and time again how they can justify urging people not to vote knowing it’ll be so much worse if Trump wins. How about I start calling them bigots because they will knowingly be causing our LGBTQ+ friends and family to suffer by slowing a Trump victory to happen. Or what about I call them misogynists for allowing Trump to win and run roughshod over women’s rights?

              Considering the matter at hand, I think propagandist is a nice and relevant catch-all in my book.

              Oh also, most of these people have no suggestions for who they’d have take Biden’s place that has any chance of winning the White House.

              So if it’s okay with you, I’m going to call out the propaganda when I see it- as I see it without your permission.

              Cool?

              Yep. Like SJW. The people that don’t do shit but whine on the internet, then disappear until they next election year only to find something to whine about and use as an excuse to urge people not to vote over.
