I think leftists often believe electoral work is uniquely open to co-optation compared to something like, say, mutual aid, which suggests to me they haven’t seen firsthand how quickly that stuff can get turned into a local nonprofit that doesn’t organize people at all.
If companies were really "forced to raise prices" because of inflation they would have been "forced to lower prices" after they got $1.9 trillion in tax cuts. But they didn't - they raised prices then, too.
Most working class people don't know and don't give a fuck about Marx, Lenin, Mao or theory in general. They just want life to get better, to achieve tangible things such as universal healthcare, better public housing, free college, etc. That's what we need to focus on.

There’s plenty to criticise about ‘left celebs’ - and in any case they aren’t achieving the same level of popular cut through as before 2019 - but it’s easy to forget how demoralising it is for socialists who literally never see their views represented in the mainstream.
Update on the OVEC Union, a thread:
Last night, OVEC board and management decided to dissolve the organization rather than move forward and negotiate with the union on our contract.
So, not to pick on John, but this take is actually wrong and OP is right. Because something catastrophic *did* happen to Gen X and the Xennial's music: the Telecommunication Act of 1996.
