this is literally what he’s always believed, who cares

the response i often get to this is “elections are the primary if not the sole means through which the working class as it exists engages with politics” which i have no disagreements about but like, it’s kind of our job to try to change that lol

chibberite state theory really seems like a recipe for yo-yoing from colossal setback to triumph in a way that history has shown, just doesn’t lead up to properly ruptured moments. additionally it ignores the unique opportunities presented by the retreat of the administrative state in the US context

my most firmly held belief at this point with regards to intra-DSA politics is that some quarters have placed too much emphasis on continuous growth for growth’s sake at the expense of figuring out how to best leverage our current capacity

there’s a real need for durable, non-electoral interfaces between DSA and the communities we want to organize in, but i’m optimistic about the stuff that is in the works, especially in my own chapter. to their credit, there are plenty of elections people i respect who see this need

AOC for many reasons is an unideal presidential standard bearer for 2028 in my opinion, but lots of people, especially in DSA are justifiably pretending the opposite is true given the lack of viable alternatives. at any rate, it seems intuitive to me that she’d be more useful in the senate

lurching from election to election like a junkie (i can say it fuck off lol) makes membership number go up and that’s not nothing, but it just isn’t the same thing as building an organization. we need durable projects and ‘28 is a good opportunity to consolidate

if he’s said some gross muh women’s sports bullshit recently, then i rescind this evaluation but josh shapiro is honestly an S-tier purple state Normie Dem. bidenesque regulatory zeal, anti-data center, hates utility companies. he should go for senate in ‘28

straight up who was still unironically listening to the h3 podcast in 2026
