Don’t know if organizing makes sense anymore (in deep red towns at least) (hexbear.net)

I’ve shat on my local organizing group enough on here but I feel like I’m pretty safe to keep continuing to do so. They want to use GroupMe for communication and signal for “on the ground, confidential communication at protests.” I’m sort of the only one pushing back but I’m not a leader, so I have no power whatsoever. Sounds absolutely disastrous

Unfortunately I probably sound very paranoid to most in this group because lot of people do this to make themselves feel better (which you can’t really argue against).

But yeah there is nothing that resembles an organized left in 2025 and I’m starting to feel like there will never be. I’m afraid what I’m describing is happening all over the country, and how could it not be? A lot of people in my (duct-taped) org are holding out for the democrats’ hard shift left. It’s just depressing at this point

I think it’s just a matter of them being in the right place at the right time/taking up leadership because no one else offered. I guess I could calmly express my concerns to them and try for a role myself which I might do

I think that’s a great idea. Maybe they just lack leadership from someone who knows proper opsec and organizing procedures.
