Hannah: There is a long, rich history of leftist movements saying "if you come help us with our pet economic/power project, we super seriously double promise to help you with your identity politics thing afterwards" and that second part never happens. We owe them help, they don't owe us. That's the deal.

i have to admit that the every four year tradition of white progressives explaining to black progressives that no one actually likes the politicians black progressives have voted for is wearing thinner and thinner with me every time

Two many of us don’t understand that we’re in coalition and bolting out of the coalition at the first sight of trouble always looks us shitty.

It also reveals how hollow the claims of true solidarity are. The expect people to believe they'll be beside them whenever the great revolution finally happens but they can't even stay in the same coalition?
