“apparently a right-wing [person] said this” is low-quality content, gets my downvote. Such an unspecific comment serves only to outgroup people.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you believe that most people of your political creed don't?
0·1 year agoI think this advice is not very actionable as is, and needs more digesting into more specific strategies.
Like, for instance: let’s avoid making people feel rejected by the left for having privilege, and instead focus on guiding privileged people so that they can use their privilege to help the cause.

0·1 year ago100% agree. I honestly think that in ~2015, the left’s failure to appeal to young white men caused them to turn to the alt right. I think we scared them off with things like “check your privilege” etc., and should have focused more on getting them amped about class warfare.

0·1 year agoI think we need to figure out how to make leftism more appealing to centrists, and particularly to the cis/straight/white/male demographic.
