cryptoleft

I feel like the left has a branding problem.

It's wild how many "leftist" ideals you could very easily get most working class red voters to agree with, yet they still consider "the left" to be demonic.

Are there any explorations on how to effectively overcome this branding chasm in reality vs. perception?

Some ideas:
- Focus on the ruling class vs the rest of us. Remind that much of our division is the ruling class using wedges to divide and conquer.
- Find common ground like understanding the CIA is a bad thing or that politicians are corrupt.
- Sometimes you have to remind people that the TV lies to everyone constantly and gives people false ideas about things like what is a leftist (we are not the bullshitting corporate liberals on TV)

I dont see either of those as being "left" ideals. They're misguided attempts by the democratic party to secure their own populist votes, but they'll lead nowhere.

Even the fact that ppl think the democratic party's agenda is "left" is part of the bad branding I'm talking about.

the issue isn't the ones that others would agree with... its the actually demonic things like "unrealized capital gains tax" and "anti crypto army".

if you 1) acknowledge that capitalism is the best proven way in history to get people out of poverty and improve lives and 2) believe crypto is essential for individual liberty in modern world.... those two things are impossible to come to terms with.
