Y’know I remember from my libertarian days that this was the exact platform in immigration. Borders and anti-immigration measures were antithetical to a small-government, free-market society.

Ironic how so many self-labeled right-wing “libertarians” and “anarcho-capitalists” reversed their position when MAGA emerged.

Ahem, there are laws, but only when they apply to you and not me.

“We all float down here.”

“Yeah, but there was this one guy in the news who murdered someone. They’re all like that.”

So…crime is created by material conditions, not by someone’s ethnicity.

Not surprising, her messaging was weird and un-relatable. Voters like Thanksgiving and not feeling guilty about their White children.

DSA needs to endorse everyday relatable people with ethics, who fulfill their campaign promises.

All we have to do is ground ourselves.

Why am I laughing at this? Is it because reality has become so ridiculously like a dark graphic novel?

Now we’re going to get grope-shocked by idiots who probably shock themselves before they get their hands on us.

I wish this punchable douche would’ve won, it would’ve ensured Klobuchar’s win.

The main thing to go after Biden for is not throwing this MF in Gitmo.

That’s why we plan for mutual aid right now.

We need to start getting ready for the mass strike right now. The one that temporarily shuts off power plants, water treatment plans and grinds the entire economy to a halt. Evaporating 50% of their stock market assets should grab their attention.

He’s just a useful moron used as a mouthpiece.

The real villains are guys like Miller, Netanyahu, Putin, Murdoch, Musk, Thiel and the trash at the Heritage Foundation. They’re the ones pushing this agenda.

With the fucking price of housing and the general cost of living, I don’t know how you can even side with the GOP on this one, regardless of past party affiliation.

Like, you actually want to vote for Blackrock to dominate your day-to-day lives?

Down with the executive. I want a PM appointed by a parliament instead.

This isn’t a bad approach at all. Lots of voters have zero interest in topics like history, or the study of fascist ideology. They mostly don’t even know what socialism or communism is, aside from the Red Scare propaganda fed to them.

People who aren’t necessarily receptive to progressive leftist policies are indeed most concerned about things that affect them on the day-to-day. Heck, Lenin and Trotsky were able to build a mass movement by winning over poor, reactionary and uneducated peasants who had been heavily oppressed under the tsars.

Maybe instead of trying to pull leftists to the center, dems grow a spine and finally work with leftists.

I think we’re trying to get to the same point here. By “pulling the party left,” it means defeating neoliberal candidates across the country and putting pressure on the left to grow a spine and acquiesce to anti-capitalists, aka entryism.

The material conditions are not right yet to go rogue and third-party people. We’re stuck in a two-party winner-take-all election system, unless we can get enough of our guys in to undo all of that. “We must walk the same streets as our oppressors,” to paraphrase.

I still have hope for the midterm elections. But electorialism may not be enough. Efforts need to be focused or organizing ground up for the general strike - the one that brings our civilization to a grinding halt and twists the arm of the capitalists so hard, that they’re forced into accommodation. Violent uprising is untenable in the USA. We’re technologically at a disadvantage with our lil’ rifles and handguns, without any combat training, to boot. No organization of violent resistance is happening under fascism without being brutally suppressed.

I’m for the great split. But the fascist hard-right party needs to be fractured and defeated first. They need to succumb to internal infighting before we do.

No, but sometimes we have to form tenuous alliances to save our asses.

The DSA is never gaining traction in a fascist state where voting is actively manipulated and resistance is persecuted. Remember Franco crushed communist/leftist resistance and dominated Spain for 40 years. The republicans lost because of their internal squabbling. They couldn’t put their differences aside to further a show of strength.

We’re too little in number to make an impact right now. We need to keep getting DSA endorsed candidates in from the ground level. We need to primary candidates in such a way as to pull the party to the left. People need to see that socialist governance is rational. Mamdani is already paving the way.

What we cannot afford is a split. We should be building a united front of anyone left of center, not tearing it down. Getting into purity tests right now when we’re stuck in a burning house isn’t a winning strategy.

At this point, capitalism and the Epstein class are becoming so blatantly exploitative and corrupt, that less people are shifting rightward as they get older. With the wealth gap getting worse, human rights slowly moving in reverse and our safety nets getting stripped away, the fiction of an “American Dream” becomes increasingly fantastical for most.

The fascist project 2025 is in full swing with the goal of a new version of the Gilded Age, AKA “paleo-conservatism.”

Divide and conquer is the way the right defeats the left in this country.

Put the minor conflicts aside and walk in lock step. A United front is the only way we can resist. 💪
