Almost posted this to /c/slop for the 
but these '20 biden to '24 trump voters really are just lost souls that maybe deserve some :gasp: empathy and outreach
Katrina, a 53-year-old independent voter, said it was hard to put into words why she's so anxious, but she knows she is.
"I feel anxious that nothing has really changed," she said. "I mean, Trump talks about this 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' but, it's like, I don't see any difference. In my life, I don't."
Like yes this is leopards ate my face content, but on the other hand:
Melody, a 37-year-old independent, added: "I wouldn't immediately think bad of someone. I would want to talk a little bit more about it with them because … to me, they're at least trying to think of a solution where everybody has rights and everybody has food, everybody has a house, everybody has a job. They're at least looking for something like that for everyone."
Marianne, a 57-year-old independent voter, said she thinks traditional Democrats are "more centrist" and cater to more corporate interests.
"But they also care about the people as well, the working people," she said. "Whereas socialist Democrats are more about community."
It's becoming ever more clear to the average working person that neither party supports their interests. Without a materialist explanation and socialist solution, they're left to pull what levers they've been given to try and make change. And of course in a bourgeois democracy, those levers aren't connected to anything.
"Dems were in power and shit got worse, might as well vote for the not-Democrat" isn't much less rational than any other individualized electoral strategy.
It's generally a bad use of time and resources to try to sway the most backward workers, like ardent Trump supporters (and obviously this is even more true with the managerial and petty bourgeoisie that make up a large part of his base).
But we can't expect the average worker to come to us with a coherent, perfect ideology. There's all sorts of algorithmically-generated brainworms that we're gonna have to help people move past. My experience from trying to organize different workplaces is a there's massive heterogeneity of obscure, often internally-contradicting, beliefs from person to person. There isn't much in the way of a common epistemological framework for people to use, so they're left to whatever their Facebook or tiktok algorithm feeds them.
Isolate the backward, educate the intermediate, organize the advanced.
