continue consuming the streamer slop and never read any theory so they're liberals who have the aesthetics of radicalism.>

Rad libs.

Or they abandon their aesthetics and return to liberalism as normal.>

I used to have a friend who ran for office in 2018 that supported Bernie that fit this mold to a T. He ended up supporting Biden and getting involved in the young dems and has otherwise reverted to being a lib. Hes also one of those super political types that gets a hard on at the idea of running for president some day so i can only imagine how sociopathic this guy really was. Truth be told, I used to be more involved in electoral politics and was super involved in the Bernie campaign but these types really ruined it for me.

And finally they might get disillusioned by these "leftists" who only seem to support liberalism, and actually begin to read Marxist theory (past and present), then they may look deeper into AES states with a more crtically supportive lense.>

Dont underestimate the dems ability to fuck things up. I think 2016 was a major disillusionment point and I feel that 2024 will be as well. Even if kamala wins, all these "progressive" libs are gonna be disappointed when shes just Trump lite like Biden.
