I genuinely don't understand what you're arguing against tbh

Just going off on a tangent, don't mind me.

You'll notice that basically everything he listed doesn't involve the leftist candidate actually accomplishing anything except scaring liberals, and it's really the liberals being ghouls that accomplishes the consciousness-raising.

Do you really believe that it doesn't raise consciousness when socialists get huge microphones to speak to millions of people about how they're not psychopaths actually, but believe in cool good shit like free transit or government-owned grocery stores?

You'll notice that he has already begun to capitulate and to change what he advocates for, and as he gets more consumed by the Democratic Party, the rot will accelerate.

AOC started off calling Israel an Apartheid state, now see what her most recent policy insight was.

The question was about whether this raises consciousness or not though

And I answered it, which is that he started off saying cool things and over time he will use the credibility from saying those cool things to advocate for heinous things and lead his followers down a bad path. They are sheepdogs, they bring people who stray from the mainstream back into the fold.
