electoralism

possible i missed this (im drunk rn i will admit).

I love analysis while drunk, so I relate. And no, you didn't miss it. I think a part of it is him having the role of the Black Lorax. It's something him and other cornbreadtubers (the name is ironic) riff on about him but I think he does take with some degree of seriousness and frankly a lot of "leftists" that haven't found some sort of ideological coherence still heavily fuck with bernie. They'd click off faster than a gamer says a slur if he called Bernie an imperialist dog. Hell, we're still catching shit for many leftists not voting for Kamala out of principle.

Besides, the same blind spot Bernie has, a lot of these leftists have frankly. Bernie's fairly blatant imperialism works because of the class essentialism that is fairly prevalent in the Western left. Bernie does it as an imperial dog, but I think the reflection seen would lead to defensiveness and reactionary tendencies. JD is still actively playing the same role he was when I first found him. He's a baby's guide to The Black Question, and I think his idea is that by platforming others, he can give them the opportunity to pull a Luxembourg. I do agree he could lean a little further into the left regarding that, though, as he often has throwaway comments for other, much further left ideas in a way that pokes fun as well as generates interest. It likely is part of his blind spot, regardless of the tactical intent, though.
