Contrapoints couldn’t even use her platform in which is built alot from politics to support the most progressive candidate running in Democrat primaries, inform people on the policies, inform people on the issues. It took her until March 2020 to endorse anyone.
When talking about how the Democrats are better than Trump Contra makes clear who benefits from them being in power of Republicans. Contra brings up “Women, LGBTQ” and noticeably you don’t hear “Black people”. So when she says “Women, LGBTQ” she only means white people.
All of what she is saying is coming from a position of privilege. Telling to people to vote was never the problem, ignoring people’s valid concerns and frustration with simply “vote” is. Marginalized people have been antagonized and harassed. Ask @MusicHead2011 ask @ChannasyJ
Contrapoints expresses how capitalism is global and bigger than all of us, so when someone says “End capitalism” she doesn’t know what they’re suggesting we do. Contrapoints exposes herself here on how she never read any Marxist literature. “international proletarian revolution.”
Contra says “Internet Leftists” have a inflated sense of importance and talks about how she fell victim to it thinking Bernie was going to win in part because of her feed (I infer Twitter) to then talk about how the people on Twitter doesn’t represent most of Americans.
Contra uses the data regarding Twitter users POORLY, her analysis is extremely flawed, lacks nuance and critical thinking. First, what you see on your feed is based on who you follow, the algorithm, retweets, likes, etc. Basically her reasons on why she saw Bernie winning were-
based on her not taking the time to contextualize her own Twitter feed and it’s that irresponsibility that makes her make a point on how Twitter doesn’t represent the public antagonistic because it aims to trivialize/marginalize leftist/left leaning voices online.
Think about the people who share Tweets to other platforms, think about the likes, retweets and videos that are based off Tweets. Think about the people that like tweets and think about what influence they have in their community or circles in real life. None of this factored in.
Twitter does not solely consist of leftists. It’s full of all kinds of people. If you follow right-wingers you will see Anti-Left content. Trump’s Tweets literally get talked about on TV and shown on TV which spark real life reactions. Contra does a giant disservice to nuance.
Contra actually implies that “Leftists” don’t get involved politically as she suggests that they actually go out and canvass. The irony is that many leftists have canvassed, phone-banked and protested. The people who aren’t doing that are the people telling you to vote.
Contra sarcastically dismissing leftist calls for a revolution while also presenting leftists as people who larp for a revolution for personal feels making them look ridiculous, unrealistic, idealistic and unreasonable.
Contrapoints ironically had “Tabby-chan” call her a counter-revolutionary as a joke, but all in this video she constantly proves how she is a counter-revolutionary by playing PR for Biden, talking down to leftists and dismissing leftist calls 4 revolution profiting from Leftism..
Contra whitewashes history to make people believe in electorialism. Robert Kennedy authorized wiretaps on King because they worried about Communism. They didn’t question racist ass J. Edgar Hoover who monitored Malcolm X and Muhammed Ali.
Like the NBA boycotts. They were utilized to push for police reform and voting while it’s off the back of BLM and #BlackLivesMatter . M4BL and people in Minnesota were literally calling for defunding police/abolishing police to reinvest in the community.
