a lot of the #toxicIdealism you see on #mastodon in terms of "they're not perfect, so don't #vote" is the same as a russian #troll putting an american flag on their #twitter handle and goosing #kremlin narratives targeting #maga
fake #leftists on the #fediverse with lazy easy #left bonafides to do their #psyop
they do it, because it unfortunately works
toxic idealism is a real problem with #leftist rhetoric
they suppress the left vote and we get #trump
i don't really give a shit about these "they're not perfect" takes
you can find dirt on anyone
overall, #aoc and #bernieSanders are way better than any other credible challenge, and that's what matters
#toxicIdealism is a problem in this world
do not fall for it
and plenty of it is just a #socialMedia #psyop by #maga and #geopolitical #trollfarm to incapacitate your #vote
do not fall for it!
@inthehands @StillIRise1963 @tarheel
why i'm posting this now
#midterms2026 means enough #democrats to stonewall #trump
but as the time draws near you will hear the same old whiny lies:
"both sides the same"
"corruption is everything"
"nothing matters"
"waah waah"
some of it is real #toxicidealism
some of it is #geopolitical #trollfarm #psyop
advertising their fake #leftist bonafides, like an american flag profile on #twitter injecting a #maga #kremlin agenda
people fall for it
last year i had heated arguments with nonvoters
putting aside #geopolitical #trollfarm accounts working a #psyop, some of them were real (that's why they work this psyop: #toxicidealism is real)
the #democrats suck
but the choice matters
you *build* on it
you iterate
you don't expect perfect, then pout when you don't get it
#vote, motherfuckers
some #nonvoters are #rightWing turds too
we see the #toxicIdealism on the #left, the "it's not perfect so i won't #vote" because we're on #mastodon and in other social silos on the left, which amplifies our impression
still, it's a lot of people like that, enough to make a difference
which is why some of these toxic idealism voices we see are just #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop, cosplaying their fake #leftWing bonafides and working hard to suppress the vote on the left
Whiny voices soon on #Mastodon:
"both sides the same"
"i oddly focus on only one issue where #Democrats aren't perfect"
"nothing matters, all is #corruption"
and other #toxicIdealism #psyop
these are not organic voices
they will trumpet their #leftism bonafides like Russian #trolls on Twitter with #MAGA flags but they are #agentProvocateur divide and conquer
don't get me wrong:
yes, the Democrats suck
but if you don't see the choice?
oof
