Yeah my bad. I think we actually agree on a lot and I'm just not coming across well. This place makes me feel dumb and sometimes I don't feel welcome here.

Fair, the core of my confusion is I am unable to draw the line used as argument against theory.

I am genuinely confused what about it you're trying to say is wrong about the theory. I used the Mao example earlier because it's an example of someone doing the type of explanation I thought would generally help others here understand your position better.

I need to be more clear. I'm not anti-theory and I am not pushing a specific criticism of any theory. What I am trying to say is that I get frustrated at people dunking on electoralism, implying the alternative is this kind of book club leftist that we have seen for decades.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Yeah I get politicians tend to co-opt talking points and then turn out to be different. But that's not everyone and I know there are good people out there who aren't going to AOC us. Maybe Zohran is a good one? Maybe he is another AOC?

Instead of endlessing banging that drum of caution can we find some constructive ways to handle that potential situation?
