one of my biggest frustrations as an activist
The phenomenon where every person you talk to individually agrees that it would be great if the world looked like X, but doesn't believe that enough other people want the same thing.
Except that "X" is the same for everyone you talk to, and the actual point where the conflict lies between them, is only in the different premature "compromises" they've come up with under the assumption that X would not be achievable.

@joepie91 A whole lot of "political technologists" deliberately cultivate this sort of patterns.

@joepie91 For the Maryland #poorpeoplescampaign we have a Resolution to End Poverty in Maryland and we try to get elected officials and candidates to sign on to it.
We are very unlikely to see this goal achieved in our lifetimes but that’s not the point. We have to start somewhere and we have to do at least some of the work.
