Trash : secret code word for the current administration, his cabinet and the speaker of the House

What we need is a real conversation about policy where everyone isn't groveling to the corporate class. The problems are way too big for small fixes and small ideas.

Because they call themselves democratic socialists - they are DSA members, as in Democratic Socialists of America... The major grassroots progressive org that helps organize community support and fundraising for their members to run in democratic primaries

AOC!!!

Then find a Soc Dem candidate and volunteer for them. They need more than just votes, they need an army.

Whoever you run, please run as DSA and not Democrat. Be honest.

The old/early brand of socialism touched on in middle school is far removed from the current Democratic Socialist ideals that are being proposed. Folks, learn the difference ... you don't like it don't vote for it. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/d...

Sounds like bullshit to me. Mamdani is doing great

"Democratic Socialism" doesn't exist anywhere... What exists is Social Democracy... That term was invented in the US to scare a politicly ignorant population into fearing what social democracy represents...!

This doesn't work outside major Urban centers. Look what happened in Maryland last night.

What are our VALUES? The Democratic Party is better for health, science, environment, education, women, seniors, children, workers, diplomacy, economy, trade, governance, public health and safety, justice, world leadership, alliances, and the future of Life on earth. THAT is my Democratic party.

I'm not DSA but I support economist Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs for President 2028. He is among the Best & Brightest in America. He has helped countries with economic problems, worked for UN in sustainable development, understands history, diplomacy & cooperation in trade. He's the Bees Knees.

I’m in!

Social Democracy Reforms capitalism. Keeps a market economy but uses a progressive tax system to fund universal healthcare, education, and safety nets. Democratic Socialism Replaces capitalism. Shifts industry ownership to workers/the public. Simply stated here but add to it if you like.

That's what people say before it happens. Anyone can get elected if a war mongering, rapist, con artist is the current president

Qualified at what? Selling out their countries for Israel? Enable/refuse to prosecute predators? Ignore the laws and get kickbacks in return, from enemies of the people and country? Fuck out of here with that "MoSt QuAlIfEd" Bullshit.

Not all bad if the policy an ideology align, but truly saddening.

Pete!!!

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa You MAGAts thought Trump was serious when he said he would support the housing bill to help ordinary Americans, didn't you? 😂🤣 😂 😂🤣 😂 😂🤣 😂 😂🤣 😂 😂🤣 This was almost as good as when he and his family tricked you into buying Trump cryptocurrency! www.newser.com/story/391635...

There is no need to move to the center. What the next Democratic presidential nominee must do is explain to centrists in terms they understand why the progressive doctrine is the only one that will end authoritarianism and bring equality to all people in the United States.

No STFU already. Fuck the center, fuck capitulating to the "center". People want progressive policies and vote for progressive candidates when they aren't crushed by 6dnc cash machine.

How do I become a member?

this is exceptional. trumps policies and immoral behavior have been too much, glad to see the opposite of his politics is wining favor.

The winds of change has spoken in New York. Time for politicians who will work for ALL AMERICANS!

Break away!

I wish Californians were smart enough to get someone like Mamdani but these folks are so brainwashed they think fuckin Newsome is the thing. He Is NOT. Idgaf, I’ll never vote for him again. And I WANT Mamdani for President and idgaf where he was born.

Communism is way on the left and Capitalism way on the right. One step to the middle from Communism is Democratic Socialism (a little democracy added to socialism). One step to the middle from the right is Social Democracy (social services added to capitalism). Social Democracy is clearly best.

If you really want to blow people’s minds, tell them that communism and capitalism are equal, opposite extremes.

I like it. I'm a Social Democrat or a Democratic Socialist. Whichever one the idiotrepubilicuntz hate the most.

And DNC is still stuck in the 1950s. Get rid of those old geezers. Vote them out one and all! No one over 40 for the House, no one older than 55 for the Senate, except Bernie Sanders of course.

If the word "socialists" scare the hell outta people, let's look at Mamdani's record so far and call them what they are-- Compassionate,Caring, Concerned Isn't this what you want? Or destruction under maga-gots? Then vote-vote-vote for more Mamdani's!!!!

Thanks to the younger generation, Democratic socialism is on the rise! This old gal is ALL for it!

He's not leaving NYC until he's done fixing the mess prior administrations have left. By the time he's ready, hopefully the "natural born citizen" requirement will have been replaced. A security clearance and passing the US Citizenship Test should be required instead, IMO.

AOC, if she wants it. She's the dream.

Back all of the Democrats if you want America to have a fighting chance of surviving as a democracy. The only candidate who agrees with me on everything is me and I am not running.

Mamdani may be good for NYC, but a Democratic Socialist has ABSOLUTELY no chance in the Presidential election. -Right now Ossoff is far superior to any other options and unless I see someone even better I'm already there.

Stop calling them "Democratic Socialists" and start calling them Social Democrats...! "Democratic Socialists" was a term invented in the US to confuse the politicly ignorant population into fearing what social democracy represents...!

The problem is not the Demarcate Politian's. The problem is Democratic Voters that decided not to vote and allowed Trump and the Republicans Party to take over all four levels of government. It does not mater who you send to Washington if you do not send a majority that can affect change.

True, true, but notice how they package it as being helpful to "job creation" or as an effort to avoid another great depression. They want the benefits for themselves only, and prefer not to acknowledge its socialist origins. Sometimes they even stick a cross on it. 🙄

Or during an economic crash and then the banks and corporate welfare whores are all screaming for socialism. In fact, it becomes our duty to bail them out of the messes they make.

Good

Considering the times, it very much is a policy centered thing, especially when the establishment Dems don’t do much of anything.

Love this!

Replicating what happened in New York seems like a great plan for the entire country. I’m sure that will work.

I hope not, but I think Darializa Avila Chevalier is going to be an absolute disaster.

I wonder if I will be the only person in idaho that is a member of the DSA

At this point, I'm backing a robot overlord powered by a rogue AI version of Chairman Mao. Do y'all ever want to own a home? Something needs to be done about these landlords 🤷

Give us Mayor Pete!!

They lost because they're centrists. Centrists don't inspire anyone. They intentionally moved this country to the right and sabotaged candidates who could actually help real people at the expense of the rich. Kamala bent the knee to the health insurance industry by dropping her support for M4A.

AOC.

The pendulum is about to swing left. We attempted the right, and center and look where we are?😡

I'm in with supporting who the DemSocs pick for POTUS.

Then they’ll find out their message works in very deep blue enclaves and think it resonates nationally. There will also be putdowns of any suggestion of any ‘big tent’ because a DSA won the mayorship of NYC. Funny how Politico and all these other news orgs run these clickbait articles.

Just call them Democrats and let us CELEBRATE!!!

😭

Always gotta scroll through the comments on these type of posts for a daily dose of smug grandiosity.

We need to elect more representatives from the left to push these status quo democrats out or to the left.

💯

I’m liking Ossoff for his candor and willingness to challenge the status quo. We need real leadership and change.

Funniest part of this entire discussion is the Republicans are fear-mongering about the pendulum swinging too far to the left. From the guys who fully endorse governing from a position on the political spectrum that is far right of Atilla the Hun.

First news I've heard *about* the DSA that didn't come *from* the DSA. Could it be that DSA actually exists? Beyond my membership, I mean.

Also, curious, who’s alienating who exactly?

Also it’s about swaying peoples minds and changing the political narrative. And this is a time ripe for the taking. It’s definitely not a “wave of socialism”, but it’s putting Neo-libs on their toes in more blue states where it matters. I’m looking forward to how it all turns out.

I believe a vast majority of DemSocs are literally coalition building as we speak, but also it should be said for the other end aswell. Neo-libs and far leftists constantly are combative to any form of political solidarity, and frankly, the Neo-libs don’t have the energy for the fight ahead.

Sweeping victories have lit a wildfire of hope, and now the search for a 2028 champion begins. 🌟💙 With 250 chapters weighing in, this movement feels bold, united, and ready to shape the future with purpose and power. ⚡🗳️

A professor who has studied socialism for over 50yrs describes 3 types of socialism: youtu.be/_ywyLiNT3Cs?...

Why are s this not trending on…(checks notes)….Bluesky??? Can we not celebrate a victory?

DSA has never won anything outside of Brooklyn. Yes. Please put forward a 2028 candidate.

But of course Hungary only has 10 million people in a homogeneous society whereas America is 335 million people in a fractured country that is overtly racist and heavily armed.

I know one side wants kids to get free lunch. But thats extreme. We should meet in the middle with the folks that want to genocide half our voting base. Be more 'mOdErAtE' Fuck you both sides piece of shit. The right is exteme the 'left' stayed center right. I want an actual left candidate.

I support Israel 100% and will not vote for a candidate who doesn't. And the oligarchy hating isn't my gig either. I love capitalism.

90% of the political establishment is sabotaging the lives of every American, and telling the US citizen that they simply can't do better. The Democratic establishment is counting on their half-measures (quarter-measures) will be enough to win after the electorate has seen the GOP ruin everything.

What exactly is "center-right" in this country now?

Just saw ugly Stephen Miller talking shit about the direction the socialist dems are taking the country. The hypocrisy of that bastard? Listen up socialist democrats, as long as you're a Democrat, I'll be your ride or die. This capsized ship is sinking.Ill ride with you!

💙💙💙💙💙

I’m a communist and I don’t see eye to eye with democratic socialists on everything. We’re not the same, politically speaking. But we do want the same things. Healthcare, housing, education, fair pay, safer working conditions, etc. These aren’t radical. The government should help people not rob them

Who would want to deal with the mess?

💙👏💙👏💙👏💙👏💙👏💙👏💙👏

So important to educate people on what ot actually is, and not the evil "s" word that Fox will tell them it is!

LFG

Slow your roll. What works in NYC is not going to work upstate or across the country.

DEMOCRATS WHO TAKE AIPAC MONEY BETTER STOP IMMEDIATELY OR SUFFER DIZ FEET

Moderate Corporate Dems and the Republican Fascists are going to start thrashing around even harder in response. All the Zionist are going to fight this so damn hard.

We need to ask the Colorado Secretary of State to put Democratic Socialists as one of the parties.

he isnt running but sen ossoff is presidential and a great statesman

Let’s not get carried away!!

Spill out into every state into the highest office. Remove the felon and chief. Do not place another corporate establishment billionaire serving Democrat in office. They have failed us post Jimmy Carter. The Republicans are a nightmare and the corporate Democrats are a very bad dream.

I recommend idiotic Reps & a good chunk of idiotic Inds, READ & LEARN abt different forms of Socialism! Communism (Russia) is a WHOLE lot diff frm Democratic Socialism (EU countries like Germany etc). Rep politics is heading toward Communism. Dem politics, Social Democracy. LIKE NIGHT & DAY!

They've done nothing to stop the illegal land sales in Gaza, and they've been working with Zionists for years. Why do you all think Trump loves Mamdani so much? He visited the Shabat! They literally consider non-Jews to be cattle!
