Even if what you say is true, you can't get more leftists that align with more of your politics by not engaging them. The fucking left has done this my entire adult life and it's done as much or more harm to progressive politics as centrist Democrats have. It's fucking madness.

After 4 years of posting COVID info on my FB timeline I got one private message response mentioning it.
From my young adult grandson, 2000 miles away, puking, sweating, and shitting himself. Having panic attacks. Too embarrassed to ask in public. No one masks there. Tests? 1/

A friend's son, late 20's, not currently symptomatic with anything, but had COVID in March 2023, just died suddenly in his mothers arms. Both he and his father (in his 70's) had COVID at the same time. Father was hospitalized w/COVID & pneumonia and spent a week in hospital. /n

Bizarre. Months before this latest surge in COVID I was at the pharmacy and almost all pharmacy staff was masked.

He probably had COVID in October, in addition to any previous "flu-like" episodes. Didn't test then either, so even if today's infection (not a panic attack! - he's been so gaslit about his own experiences) is COVID it's some other bad opportunistic thing that shortens/ends life.

Manufacturing consent isn't always done overtly. Society is silently banning the discussion and consideration of COVID as a problem needing more consideration.
Wearing a mask signals non-compliance, and people are getting treated as thought-criminals for reminding them of this.

No, Will. We're not anti- Dem, per se. We're anti-genocide and anti-capitalist. For decades Democrats have been unable and unwilling to provide a systemically sound social safety net for the working class and poor.
