Anyone who truly wants crime to go down needs to understand that instead of giving money to militarize the police, that same money should be spent on social programs, community organizing, and ensuring everyone has enough money to live.
This is proven over and over.

No. Bernie is a grifting fraud, a mediocre too-old unaccomplished populist masquerading as a "progressive" even though his only real accomplishments have been scuttling universal healthcare, gun safety, minimum wage increases, and child cancer funding. He actively helped Trump win. He's AWFUL.

You assholes can't even flip a red seat blue, and half your candidates lose in blue districts, so please sit your ass down. You're not the majority, you couldn't "take over" the Democratic Party if you tried, and even if you could, it'd be an utter disaster that would lead to MORE fascist GOP rule.

This *literally* didn't happen. Dems *did not* retreat from climate change or student loan policy or messaging. It's a lie & you're spreading fascist propaganda. And no, your citation to a single article from the GOP ratfuckers at Politico doesn't actually make your case.

if you want healthcare and queer rights, you should probably vote for the party that has consistently supported both for (just guessing here) your entire life, even if they haven’t gone as far as you want yet.

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Environmental advocates, scientists, and community members say the new ammonia plants would delay the phase-out of fossil fuels — and bring substantial air pollution and safety risks to places that have long borne the health costs of America’s industrial economy.
Louisiana bets big on "blue ammonia." Communities along Cancer Alley brace for the cost.
Carbon capture hasn’t delivered major climate benefits—and the plants would still emit thousands of tons of pollution.
