Just going to say that fascism isn’t ever defeated. Elections may result with more progressive politicians, but those certainly won’t defeat it. The fight against fascism must be ongoing all of the time with various strategies by communities doing the work.
Modal outcome here:
* Raman wins comfortably
* DSA looks weak because their endorsement or its withdrawal doesn't matter
* DSA looks even weaker because constant messy intra-factional beefs caused the above
NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

Nationalists, Europe, 1926: "Jews cannot be good members of the polity if they have loyalty to the Jewish nation above the nation where they live."
Nationalists, USA, 2026: "Jews cannot be good members of the polity if they do *not* have loyalty to the Jewish nation, first and foremost."
Trump on El-Sayed: "Any Jewish person that supports this guy should be ashamed of themselves. I'll tell you right now, you should never speak to them again. I'm polling at 99% in Israel. I cannot understand how anybody who's Jewish can even think about voting for this guy."
Man, this one really hurts. Eric Bauza might have actually been the single most versatile voice actor of my lifetime, I never got to even meet him but he really just seemed like a very nice guy too.
Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."
Of course the NYT is platforming the procedural concerns of the fascists while not ontextualizing the fact that they blatantly tried to steal the election by SHUTTING DOWN PUBLIC TRANSIT
Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede after losing Brazil's presidential runoff to Lula.
"It is impossible to acknowledge the election results. We will ask for the elections to be annulled."
Brasil was vital for the US reconfiguration of South America into Trumpist hives. Likewise Vucic was a tool for several powers including the US, China, Russia and the EU’s conservatives to hold sway over the Western Balkans.
The today the people blew those plans away into dust. Viva Democracy.
Hungarian PM Péter Magyar:
"I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."
The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.
Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
