My biggest fear is that the DSA triumphs in 2026 midterms (IDK what that would be, but probably 10-30 DSA or DSA-aligned “progressives” in congress is a possibility in 2026) and parlays that into winning the presidency with AOC, which would just be another weak, feckless and compromised presidency. The bare minimum for a 2028 presidency in my book would be Abolishing ICE, Arm Embargo on Israel, and Medicare 4 All, but beyond that we need serious investment in education, and some sort of re-education even. If we don’t thoroughly de-nazify and also build up the alternatives to fascism, then Carlson/Fuentes 2032 or 2036 becomes a real possibility. But I don’t have any confidence AOC would dismantle the surveillance and police state, and we will be right back where we are now, with an even more radical fascist coalition.
Yeah, this is my position on DSA more broadly. I am not going to be upset when they win, but it is our duty to continue to push and not be complacent just because we get a socdem president and a bit of our social safety net back.
he’s not perfect but he’s definitely laying an interesting pathway to follow
the liberal trump (or anti-trump, or dare i say socdem trump) finally comes along and can’t even be president (or can he?)

shit we should be embargoing Israel for everything, they should be getting the treatment Cuba is getting
we should send trump a doctored map that swaps them
Yeah I Agree, but an arms embargo is the floor
Eh I’d take it. It would be a menshevik vs bolshevik situation, really show people there is a farther-left group that is better

As we said with Bernie…
Mamdani IS the compromise.
