Yes, extremely weird. 🤣

That's the secret they don't want out, taxing the rich and folks actually getting services

I don’t know. It’s a little woke to me.

I learned from a Billy Bragg song that would seem to still be relevant.. you'd have to change like 4 words. youtu.be/2-Abd5eSqCg?...

Thanks, nice photo. 😆

He's the mayor of a large city

Nope. Voting isn’t even a thing anymore in the Land of the Free 🤷🏻‍♀️

Chicago has a bunch of DSA Aldermen. There's a Wikipedia entry! We want FDR style government and moral international relations. Current Democratic leadership isn't giving us this, or even arguing for it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago...

I don't even care what the article says anymore. I'm here for donkey politics.

Nope.

I want there to be an overthrow of neoliberal command in the Democratic party, but then in order to win there would need to be a greater shift from the populist right to the populist left than there would be of the corporate & center left to the right... not a comfortable reality for anyone really.

Not if it’s up to Neera Tanden

Good analysis from Levin. Lolnothanks to Khanna as the leftwing candidate.

They have to know they'd be metaphorically shooting themselves in the dick if they tried to drag Hakeem out to represent the Dem establishment in the primaries.

Inshallah.

Pity he's not allowed to run for president himself.

Democrat establishment kicking into high gear to ensure this doesn't happen... Let's hope they listen to the people this time.. (they'll listen to their corporate donors...)

Let’s hope - The Overton Window definitely needs major adjustments…

The US has veered so far to the right in recent years that anything that remotely looks left leaning is suddenly described as 'radical' or 'communist'. It's not radical to care for people that one governs, while the rich continue to piss on all of us and tell us it is raining.

The comparison should be FDR or Herbert Hoover. Was FDR "leftwing"? The Republicans are to the right of Hoover.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov stop being as tone def as republicans.

That's why they get the big (donor) money.

No

I hope when #republicans attack #DSA with their fear obstruction during midterms induction, progressive #democrats counter their corruption with: “Look at #NewYork. Do you really see hunger, squalor, death & destruction? Or crime reduction, new construction, and positive production? Your deduction?”

The world is being ruined by rich, white, extremely right wing men - both politicians and the corporations who own them. People like Mamdani are the answer. They won’t get everything right of course - but they will have the balls to have a right good go. That’s got to be the starting point.

Let’s hope so.

Yeah, its been pretty violent for everybody not white...

🙏

I sure hope so!

I doubt it in 2028. But as it shows success in more local governments it will become more nationally viable.

That's not a left wing position.

Mildly centre left is now commie (it’s not) within an Overton Window dragged so far right the rivers of blood speech is mainstreamed by a Labour PM

Convenient how wanting folks to eat gets a man painted as a commie

If the Septics knew what left wing is because they throw communism, socialism, liberalism, radical and other bollocks around like confetti and each one is wrong, wrong and wrong again. In fact, if we can start calling the 'right' reactionary it might do that job perfectly being what they are.

🙏

They went easy on Obama relative to Bernie. They know empty platitudes when they see 'em. Hope for change! You won't get any, but keep hoping!

That's a rare example of where the better candidate beat the Dem establishment choice. Unfortunately too many people are won over by the argument that you have to be in the centre to win the general. It's utter rubbish, of course, as the past 10 years shows. But people fall for it.

Mmmm, you ain't wrong. The establishment finna run another centrist and call it bold

The DNC has a left-sided pendulum-limiting device they routinely deploy.

Yes. That is why the Democratic establishment is working hard to derail it.
