Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

The strategy is to attempt to force demagogues to actually care about representing the needs of their constituents.

Source: this one guy running for president that basically has “not Trump” and “I don’t listen to my constituents because they’re not really my constituents” as his platform for two straight elections in a row.

So basically "If you don't stop your shit I will drive this goddamn car off a cliff. Do not test me." kinda business?

(The above is meant to be a light hearted, jokish way to say what I'm trying to say)

That’s exactly how I’d characterize it. IMO, it was that way for the DNC in 2016 too.

Being light-hearted is my way of smiling through the pain. So, it’s a perfect description, in my opinion. 🙏🏼
