From purity politics and not wanting to engage with other left leaning movements MLs are still at the start of the race. Pretty much everyone on lemmy is on the same page on many issues. Particularly on inequality and social welfare.

I always like to chime in that we should also not ignore elections and vote as left as we can in our areas. Doing so only adds credibility to our movement. If you can organize to show up and vote you can also do so for a protest or strike. Not to mention that the latter take far more effort, so skipping on an afternoon to vote shows low commitment. As such I find the remark about online progressivism to be rather funny.
