It's less than it should be, but it's more than anyone has done before.

I've been super impressed with most of the conversations here and how they've evolved. Early on, there was a lot of friction between the uncommitted movement and the center-left, and I saw some accounts really grabbing ahold of that divide and trying to expand it... but the community turned it around. We saw a few weeks of posts explaining the difference between primaries and the general in a surprisingly nonabusive way for social media and now those troll accounts can just keep throwing out "genocide Joe" and it becomes less plausible and more ridiculous everyday he takes another step away from Israel.

Man, do I want more, but we've gotta claw for every inch, and it's easier to do together.

Great summary. This has been my experience as well. You know what that means tho, right? WE MUST PUSH HARDER STILL!

The astroturfers will only get more numerous and hateful as we inch closer to november.

Stay strong comrade. Solidarity with workers, solidarity with the voters of which we should be a part, solidarity with those establishing systems of mutual aid, solidarity with those that take to the streets. Everyone must do a little of sonething, some will do more of everything.
