But without the DNC backing them, this will keep happening.

We can’t do anything until the neoliberals are up for midterms, but we don’t have to do anything special

Every primary should be competitive, I don’t care if it’s AOC or Fettermen.

As long as every primary is competitive and non biased, progressives will keep winning.

It’s all down hill from here, but in a good way. Just keep up with momentum and turning voting into something we view as a constant battle. We’ll never “win” enough that we can stop caring. Every primary and every general need to be treated as important, even if your ballot is boring.

It always takes 3 replies for them to just resort to insults, it’s weirdly consistent.

So I usually give them 3 replies, just to see if it holds true. And its almost always exactly 3.

Even responds to questions like trump…

Obamdani

Why do you choose to talk like trump?

Buddy…

She lost the primary and isn’t on the ballot…

She lost, El-Sayed won…

Voting worked.

I mean, yeah…

People always want to interpret what the DNC says in the worst way possible. But when the chair said that shit about how they’d still take money from “good billionaires” and everyone replied “there are no good billionaires” like it was some kind of brand new insight, this is what was always gonna happen.

They stopped courting oligarchs and only spending donations to get more donations.

So naturally the big money donations swung to Republicans.

But it doesn’t matter, the DNC emptied their coffers to state parties long ago. State Dem parties have been operating at campaign levels for almost two years, that money was put to work a long time ago.

Votes matter more than dollars, so that’s what the party started prioritizing again.

Ironically enough this probably helped 10x what her standing on stage and waving would have.

Progressives hurt their chances rubbing shoulders with neoliberals, but everytime a neoliberal tries to take their voters to the Republican party, it just ends up increasing Dem turnout.

Neoliberals just honestly don’t understand Dem voters fucking hate them.

Exactly.

Shit will stay bad, undeniably bad.

And I’m 2 years Dems get to campaign on hypotheticals for how much progressive policy would have helped if we had a progressive president.

The were looking at 2/3s majoritie to get a lot done, and insulation from remaining neoliberals who won’t vote with the party

It’s honestly the best path to super majorities, because we don’t have to try and get some stuff accomplished the next two years, there’s zero expectation that trump will let anything pass. So even if nothing gets fixed, it will still just help Dems.

Him ignoring the DNC instead of appointing a progressive chair and fixing the party back in 09 is the entire reason the last decade happened…

Don’t treat him like a hero for finally getting off his ass.

A non biased DNC would have seen Bernie easily win the 2016 primary

Shit would have been so much better if he took the five minutes to name any progressive name he could think of as DNC chair. But I’m pretty sure he just went with Bidena recommendation, because he had zero plans for the DNC.

“Abdul promises to get money out of politics,” Stevens said. “He can begin by getting Israel out of his explanation for everything Michigan cannot afford.”

That doesn’t even make sense…

No shit, she’s a neoliberal and she’s doing what every neoliberal would do.

That’s why she lost the primary. And why she’s willing to help Republicans win to stop progress.

This isnt “party infighting” she’s a sore loser who cares more about Israel than America. And in 3 months she won’t be an elected representative anymore.

the Democratic establishment is finally rallying around progressive Abdul El-Sayed,

“Finally” as in almost 3 months ago?

https://democrats.org/dnc-congratulates-abdul-el-sayed-on-winning-michigans-democratic-primary-for-u-s-senate/

Literally as soon as we’d want the party endorsing any candidate, because any earlier would have been during the primary.

Like, “the democratic establishment” is literally the DNC…

Neoliberals have a problem with Muslims…

We’re coasting off “leadership” (in regards to elected representatives) because they were elected in Jamie Harrison’s last days of running the DNC.

They’ve been lame ducks this entire congress, and have virtually no chance of retaining their leadership positions in January.

The next congress won’t have a biased DNC threatening to bankrupt their home state parties if they don’t toe the line on votes.

But to get the DNC on board would be tricky

Why?

The current chair said he wants a presidential candidate like Mamdani, both in regards to policy and charisma…

And he said that right after Mamdani won his primary, when people didn’t think he’d win the general…

So why do you think the same DNC wouldn’t support AOC?

The thing is, there’s “national DSA” they’re the ones who didn’t endorse AOC and are apparently full of Maoists…

Then there’s a shit ton of “local” DSA’s, and the one in NYC kept endorsing her.

The national seems to want to latch onto to the popularity of anyone remotely socialist, and then if that politician doesn’t do everything the Maoists want, they try to co-opt their popularity and throw them under the bus.

Anyways, that’s how you end up with “the DSA” doing great things, and doing absolutely mindless shit like telling people AOC is conservative and people shouldn’t vote.

It’s not one solid organization. And large parts of it are run by idiots

Fucking do it.

Everyone in the Federal government hates Cruz, it’s been the one issue everyone agrees on across the aisle

If trump puts Cruz on the SC, it virtually guarantees a 2/3 majority to drastically overhaul the SC, and motivate everyone to get it done, just to get rid of Cruz.

Most of the people taking them get really upset when you explain how broad “peptides” are, and what they’re actually doing is hormone therapy to make their physical body identify math their mental perception of who they are…

They’re not transitioning, but they’re still undergoing gender affirming hormone therapy.

with the left

Buddy…

In 1978 the CCP split from Maoists, because the Maoists were too extreme

Do you have any idea how many people died because of Maoism?

Jung Chang and Jon Halliday contend that implementation of Maoist thought in China was responsible for as many as 70 million deaths during peacetime,[118] with the Cultural Revolution, the Anti-Rightist Campaign of 1957–1958,[119] and the Great Leap Forward. Active campaigns, including party purges and “reeducation”, resulted in imprisonment or the execution of those deemed contrary to the implementation of Maoist ideals.[120] Some historians have argued that because of Mao’s land reforms during the Great Leap Forward which resulted in famines, thirty million perished between 1958 and 1961. By the end of 1961, the birth rate was nearly cut in half because of malnutrition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maoism#Criticism_and_implementation

Seriously, do you have any idea what Maoism actually is?

They’re authoritarians. That’s not “the left”.

Red Star, whose member Megan Romer is one of DSA’s two national cochairs, has expressed “serious doubts” about throwing its weight behind her, citing a lack of “political and practical alignment with DSA.” Marxist Unity Group and Springs of Revolution have questioned moves toward an early endorsement and stressed the importance of holding socialist elected officials accountable. Liberation, a much smaller Maoist caucus, has rejected the idea of making her the standard-bearer of the socialist movement.

Well, those people are fucking idiots…

Luckily no organization is going to be able to just name a candidate.

Whoever it eventually is, will have to win a full 50 state primary. And even if the DSA is outspokenly against her (or any other progressive) it just won’t fucking matter.

Progressive policy is what’s popular and what voters are eager to flock to. Not fucking Maoism.

No one wants Maoism, and the people ignorant enough to think they do, shouldn’t be listened to under any circumstances, they don’t even know what terms they’re using mean, or even worse they do and actually want Maoism…

Holding that “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”,[38] Maoism emphasises the “revolutionary struggle of the vast majority of people against the exploiting classes and their state structures”, which Mao termed a people’s war. Mobilising large parts of rural populations to revolt against established institutions by engaging in guerrilla warfare, Maoist Thought focuses on “surrounding the cities from the countryside”.

Maoism views the industrial-rural divide as a major division exploited by capitalism, identifying capitalism as involving industrial urban developed First World societies ruling over rural developing Third World societies.[39] Maoism identifies peasant insurgencies in particular national contexts as part of a context of world revolution, in which Maoism views the global countryside as overwhelming the global cities.[40] Due to this imperialism by the capitalist urban First World toward the rural Third World, Maoism has endorsed national liberation movements in the Third World.[40]

It would literally be a bunch of MAGA storming cities and killing anyone that has an education, Jan 6th on a national scale, with plenty of public executions, just like under Mao.

The fuck is the DSA doing letting self identified Maoists into their tent?

Party of family values…
