What does concern me is simply the dismissive tone you take here about activists and about the very idea of transformative political work, and your belief that you and you alone care about or relate to "low-information voters".
Misrepresenting someone's views and commenting on what you perceive to be their attitude is personal. I treat people as they treat me. I have repeatedly stated that I consider all social progress to date to be due to activists. Something you choose to ignore. Activists work best outside of politics. If the environmental movement endorsed a political party, even the Greens, it would weaken the movement.
and your belief that you and you alone care about or relate to "low-information voters".
Wrong again. It isn't about caring it's about gaining the support of. If the left as a whole were relating to low information voters (most last minute swing votes) they would be winning more elections.
veryone on the Left is on the side of the ordinary working class folks you appear to have a special understanding of. A lot of us ARE ordinary working class folks.
You are not a low-information voter. If it is the left who cares about the working class while the right exploits them given the results I'd say the left has a severe communication problem.
open to the possibility that the rest of us might also have some awareness of normal, daily life-that we are just as much part of ordinary daily life as you are.
Most people are part of ordinary daily life and come into contact with people from all walks of life. That doesn't mean they relate equally well to all of them. I would say that is very rare.
I'm choosing to take a couple of weeks to avoid responding to your posts,
In case you are puzzled it is our last exchange that so offends me. The last word in this exchange is yours if you want it. After that I hope you never respond directly to my posts and in return I will refrain from responding to yours.
If you disagree with any ideas or arguments in my posts it is possible to express your perspective on whatever issue it is without referring directly or otherwise to my post or me if you so choose.
