Eh, Libs have been saying this shit since 2018, they don't ever end up doing shit.

They started saying this in 2018, two years later we got the George Floyd protests. The Democratic party had to work HARD to coopt the surge left. And now people have even less faith in the Democratic party, and our organizational capacity is better (still small, but better)

I was always sympathetic towards communism, but to tbf it took a global pandemic for me to actually embrace it.
