My good ppl of the Left, u don't actually have to give in the the instinct to try and reclaim the founders as like progressive freedom fighters. 1) its a historical and 2) its just lame

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation’s independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.

What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city’s waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.

Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.

Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

@harbingerofwoke In fact, we think that the marsh is your proper place, and we are prepared to render you every assistance to get there.

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

But then it doesn't follow that the Leftists is wrong for pointing that out

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

This rhetorical question is so intellectually lazy as if Eric Blanc hasn't run into the "well you sound like a right winger so you're wrong" fallacy. Obviously when a right winger and a Leftists understand themselves as incompatible in the same coalition theyre gonna sound sim

[Eric Blanc @_ericblanc]

A question for @briebriejoy and co: if you're the most consistent fighters against the Democratic Party establishment, then why does your proposed strategy — socialists should form a new third party — now *dovetail* with so much of that same establishment?

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@voice_o_people @SnowHimbo Beardo is an egomaniac

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

I've read one of Ryan Grims books, hold it in high regard and I do respect his work as a journalist. But hes made a few comments about the Left in RI thats like...why come no actual journalism? You just talked to Dan Denvir or looked at Twitter. Is all your work like this then?

[Rhode Island Democratic Socialists of America @rhodyDSA]

Independent socialist @brittanyforri, who is running for the R.I. General Assembly, is the only candidate in the state endorsed by Rhode Island DSA or national DSA @ryangrim

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@SnowHimbo @voice_o_people On an elected we endorsed. We have since committed to clean break. We also did most of the Uncommitted work...which he got to be the Democratic Party picked delegate for

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@SnowHimbo @voice_o_people He goes on pods and will get highlighted by msm as RIs DSA/Left guy. But ive been in RIDSA since 2020 and ive seen him zero times at any event, not am I aware of any activity of his on our periphery. He's in Reclaim..a split off from us b/c ww wanted to put mild constraints...

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

I hate this smug shit. Sorry, you guys arent smarter or more serious organizers. You figured out it was easier to suck up to existing power structures to the point where u think the kiddie table u sit at is meaningful. Were not closer to building socialism sorry

[Russ Finkelstein @RussFinkelstein]

@voice_o_people How many elections has your organization won?

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@RussFinkelstein @voice_o_people This "but were successful" argument is such a fucking joke. Yeah no shit its easy mode to just go be a Democrat in pre existing power structures. The question is with the resources NYDSA has y are they doing that instead of building a new party

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

If you think we can't form an independent socialist party because it's against the rules...thats just as embarrassing as storming out of an interview. Go be a Lib, its fine. But naturalizing a political system like that is profoundly anti marxist

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

I dont want to just RT b/c I enjoy seeing RI's favored Leftwing son cry and quit after a mild argument ensues (How dare Bri have me on and not immediately plug my work!?) I do think its worth exploring that he said in regards to "the unique US political system"

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

"If we're going to just rehash the debate you've been having with the DSA left for the last six years, I've had a very busy day -- like, why did you have me on?"

Can the left critique DSA strategy without acrimony?

@softlxnar That just sounds like cocaine man

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@centristmarxist This is a hilarious horseshoe theory thing. Tbh im proud to be on the same side of the ragin Cajun Jimmy Carville on this one

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@lukeisamazing Is so proud of himself by saying "I was the first to say socially necessary labor time"

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@lukeisamazing A really funny thing i run into is that the argument they usually make is against the basic understanding of classical economy's LTOV. And thats funny because the problem they bring up is the same one Marx himself pointed out and why he....

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@grouchygauchos @KDicupe What vote?

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@lukeisamazing I've made this point to so many fellow DSAers when im trying to push for clean break and its like im talking to brick wall. Yet this contradiction is so obvious to ppl who arent hyped up on right DSA politics

[BC @BenjaminScottC3]

@rk__upadhya Ppl say this as if the libs arent also terminally online.
