    Arguably, the way people perceive your project is more important than what it actually does. Probably a combination of both dems being shit at optics and repugs having the most well oiled propaganda machine in the world, cause it keeps fucking happening.

    Planned parenthood

    BLM

    ACAB

    defund the police

    Communist/socialist policies

      The left in general just seems terrible at this. I suspect it’s because we hold ourselves to morals.

      I will say that Buttagieg had the perfect rebuttal to being called socialist – “they’re going to call us socialist anyway, that shouldn’t stop us from making socialist policies”, paraphrasing.
