still not enough of them so vote blue no matter who when you get the chance
don’t be sore losers lol
If young Americans voted that would mean something.
If Americans in general voted it would be great. Our turnout rate is atrocious.
I absolutely hate this increasing focus on the term “Democratic Socialism.” Y’all, focus on the fucking issues. James Talarico, who is doing really well in Texas, has never mentioned or associated with the term, but for example the headline on his last newsletter was “Trickle-Down Economics is Theft.” Please, please, please focus on the actual issues like he is, that’s how we win.
We need to do both I think. Being scared of the term is how the right has been able to hold so much power. We need to take back control and make it not a boogyman.
However, also, most people support leftist policy. Many don’t support leftists. Many leftist policies are actually popular among Republican voters if they’re only given a description and not told it’s leftist or socialist.
Basically, we need to use both strategically. People pushing the DSA, and other leftists groups, can normalize it, and politicians needing to win in contested elections can use the policy, without the label, to move policy forward.
DSA needs to become popular enough to flip the Overton window from far right garbage.
Great response right here. Thank you for this
We really need to win back the word from the bigots. I think we can’t proceed without doing that.
Good good. Keep it up, kiddos. This will be YOUR WORLD some day when all the boomers finally die the fuck out, so you need to stand up to make sure that you inherit a world that isn’t completely fucked.
Hey Karl. Loved the econ book but we warned you about states bro
Shit. More than half of the older generations do as well, as long as you can frame the argument without using the “Boogeyman” words.
They only believe socialism belongs to the “right” people
D*tic Sists of America
Yeah, but will you actually vote?
Sadly it’s about all they do.
just saying, the guillotine is getting really dusty, guys.
Red scare incoming.
Well they goddam sure don’t want their taxes going to rich people or murdering people in foreign countries.
That’s Commie talk!
Yep. Or American.
Half of young people don’t back democratic socialism? That’s wild.
We’ve had a century of being taught socialism is evil. The word is essentially poisoned in American politics.
Nearly half isn’t nearly enough. Who is educating the youth today? /s
More democracy can’t be bad.
Is that percentage supposed to make people feel good about things?
When this overly progressive movement falls flat on its face it’s going to be the bernie fiasco 2.0 and the progressives are going to blame everything but leftists not getting up to vote for it.
Most of the Dem Socialists I’ve seen are way closer to what Democrats used to be before the overton window got shifted so much. They’re not overly progressive so much as they’re slightly more progressive than current Dems.
Or maybe not. No neo-libs with their fingers on the scale this time.
You better hope it doesnt because partnering with it is the only way the DNC can get enough votes to win any election ever again.
“Vote blue no matter who” is thoroughly cooked and you dont have a way back through trump that you think you do.
It seems to me like you’d want people to vote blue no matter who instead of hoping leftists are able to present a coherent and unified vision of the future because that’s not going to happen.
Not really, they just back commons sense reforms that are desperately needed in this country, and the DemSocs are the only ones that will even acknowledge them. If the Dems were doing their jobs, we would gladly back them, but they’ve given us no choice. If we want these perfectly normal things that the rest of the world has, then it’s the DemSocs that are the only chance of getting them.
