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

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…
And I’ll do what I always do when facts and logic don’t work.
Best of luck buddy, you’ll need it to survive with this level of critical thinking and reliance on first assumptions
If the fear mongering stops working overall, then there’s a chance for real meaningful change.
You said that, I assumed about neoliberals…
I pointed out it didn’t work and neoliberals lost 2016 and 2024…
And you seem to have taken it as no one was trying it…
Which, yeah buddy. If anyone said what you thought it might be “laughable” but that’s only because you’re not understanding what anyone else is saying.
On the other hand, I got a pretty good reason now on why you’re 20 months late to the party. People probably have tried to you by now, hell I might have.
But I just don’t think you’re gonna understand it if you honestly don’t by now
If the fear mongering stops working overall, then there’s a chance for real meaningful change.
What?
It didn’t work in 2016, and it didn’t work in 2024…
So in early 2025, the DNC pivoted away from neoliberalism…
The things you’re talking about hoping may happen, happened almost two years ago…
I mean…
The candidate could actually fucking campaign there…
But considering the Dem was a registered Republican until 3 years ago, and only changed to run in the 2024 election as a Dem instead of a Republican…
I don’t think that’s gonna happen.
She’s better than the Republican, but if she’s the incumbent next time, she sure as shit needs primaried
But that explains why she has to run Republican level attack ads and can’t just go to this area and talk to voters; she’s a neoliberal. The more Dem voters hear about a neoliberal , the less they want to vote for them.
If she had progressive policy and could campaign on that, this would be another “come out of nowhere” race that the billionaire’s talking heads would have to pretend they don’t know why it’s happening
Progressive policy wins election, this neoliberal bullshit just gets us tossups, even with how shitty it is now
It didn’t “work in the past”, that was republicans vs neoliberals.
Races where “just fix what we actually care about” wasn’t on the ballot.
If there’s an option to actually fix the shit that matters, that’s going to be the winner over any position about who can play what non-professional sport for zero money.
Hell, the only reason anyone cares about it is, is fear mongering over college scholarships, we get free higher education and that knocks the legs out from the entire argument.
It’s just neoliberals and Republicans don’t want us to talk about that.
Progressives love talking about actual solutions though, which is why this bullshit doesn’t work against them.
According to .ml and db0 accounts…
Yeah
But you’d have to be completely ignorant of the American political system to ever listen to them.
It’s wild how many of them I’ve seen out of nowhere claim if a Dem isn’t unquestionably supportive of every trans person (including Caitlyn Jenner) then they’re worse than the Republicans openly trying to institute literal christofascism, which is obviously going to be worse for LGBTQ specifically and everyone generally, even people who aren’t American.
It’s literally all they have to go off of to depress Dem turnout
He was used to the Clinton’s pretending he was their friend and expected the same from Obama.
It’s not so much that he hates Obama, he envies him. That’s what he wants to be, which is why he fawns over people like Mamdani now.
The worst part of right before an election is all the accounts spamming “don’t vote it doesn’t matter” out of nowhere…
Another day, another opinion piece complaining about what Jamie Harrison did 2021- 2024, and ignoring everything that changed since the DNC didn’t have to take Biden/harris’ pick like 2021…
Jamie Harrison’s only claim to fame was raising a record amount of money from wealthy donors, but still losing to Lindsey fucking Graham.
The current DNC clearly isn’t planning on doing that, because it already dumped all that money on state parties over the last 20 months instead of saving it for a blitz right now.
The issue the author is complaining about, was solved 3 months after the 2024 election…
It was valid back then, but pretending it still exists weeks before the midterms is crazy. But I guess after a progressive wave it’s going to make even less sense to say this shit.
In recent years, Democrats have mostly ceded religious voters, outreach, and messaging to Republicans. That has made it almost impossible for the party to compete in red and rural states, where white evangelical voters make up a substantial share of the electorate. In turn, Democrats have faced increasingly long odds to win those Senate seats, or expand the electoral map in presidential contests.
That was neoliberals intentionally tying one hand behind our back so they’d have an excuse to not make progress…
For the last 20 months the focus is on winning every race, no more handouts to conservatives to save money to cram a neoliberal down our throats for president.
The DNC “victory fund” was drained and given back to state parties it was stolen from, which is why we’re about to see a shit ton of seats flip; we’re actually trying to win a majority again.
While in the middle of a christo-fascist government…
I don’t think they understand how this actual helps El-Sayed. No one that was ever going to vote for him will believe anything trump says, but making the race about his religion, just highlights how he’s not part of the pro-Israel death cult like Kegsbreath and most of Trump’s admin.
“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…
