@SpectreProXy @admcrlsn I challenge you to find any moderate Dem who opposes Medicaid expansion or building renewables, its pretty run of the mill dem stuff

[Adam Schifffff @AdamSchiffff]

@SpectreProXy @admcrlsn And they also want to end private enterprise and the free market, which is both wildly unpopular and would make us all vastly poorer…

Appear at a pride parade in leather fetish gear with your ass out: pro-social exercise of liberal freedoms. Make out with some woman in a park: Risk your job. There is a conservation of prudery; moving sexual license to some areas requires compensating crackdowns elsewhere.

@mattyglesias I think the big difference among at least here is socialism ultimately rejects private enterprise and SDPs dont. But in the short and medium term the distinction is not very noticeable except hot button issues like police abolition.

What’s the ratio of articles imploring Democrats to learn from a guy who won a mayoral election in New York City to learning from a guy who’s winning yet again in North Carolina?

Fifty to one? Five hundred?

@carlo_5518 Lol i mean that’s basically the extent of American socialism

[Adam Schifffff @AdamSchiffff]

@Hybridh139266 @DruidofNecro @_Credible_Hulk Too much government intervention via zoning, price caps, etc.
also homelessness is more of a social, drug and mental health problem than a not-enough-housing problem

[Adam Schifffff @AdamSchiffff]

@carlo_5518 @rowanfornow @Jeeshadow1 Idk how well direct intervention is working. But also china has worse worker’s conditions, rights, safety net etc. which is pretty ironic for a “socialist” country. The average Chinese spends twice as much of their income on groceries as Americans.

@PollTracker2024 Im glad he did that. That person sucks

American socialism is rugged individualism with leftist aesthetics. There is no real sense of solidarity, everyone is out for themselves, they’re in favor of helping the poor and the sick and the unemployed but only so long as they don’t have to make any sacrifices personally. As long as it’s paid for by “the rich”, which increasingly just means “rich enough that their votes will never make a difference in an election.” Nobody is rich, only the people richer than you are rich

@therealmasgod @_Credible_Hulk While that’s definitely not his companies. They’ve created crazy value thru evs and reusable rockets, none of that wealth was “stolen” from anybody, the pie was grown.

@PollTracker2024 Why did jon ossof vote against this!

Amazon exited the low/mid market grocery business (Amazon Fresh) because even the most ruthlessly capitalist company on earth couldn’t figure out how to make the margins work, but I’m glad Mamdani isn’t constrained by things like fiscal solvency

[Adam Schifffff @AdamSchiffff]

@thekleschprince @mattyglesias I actually don’t think Biden’s pivot left reflected the median voter. Both his fiscal policy (Bidenonomics/american rescue plan/Lina Khan) and his social policy (biggest one is border) were extremely unpopular.

[Adam Schifffff @AdamSchiffff]

@CEOoftheLeft @mattyglesias But the khanna/massey coalition is not durable. Give them each full power to negotiate the us budget between them and it’ll be a mess. What they’ve done on epstein is great but it’s not replicable, plus they’re both in safe seats and khanna is an electoral underperfotmer.
