@extra_beef_ The way he couldn’t run fast enough away from the label of socialism, during his last debate, told me everything I need to know about what kind of “spine” he’ll have in Washington.
@briebriejoy@joshischillin Exactly. Hasan could have just said that he’d vote 3rd party to each one of these. And when Mehdi inevitably said “But that’s not how you play the game!”, he could have then said “Sir, given the state of our country, we don’t have time for games.”
@MarkyMark91182@briebriejoy It definitely wouldn’t have. After all the bullshit excuses @ryangrim was making, I give him credit for caving. Probably wasn’t his call ultimately. lol
@OGBlackRedGuard This type of sectarianism is what holds the socialist left back from reaching our potential in this moment. The question should be “is she objectively better to be elected than a genocidal corporate democrat like Adam Smith or not”, not if she’s your perfect idea of a socialist.
@Trav0ne@vanguard_pod These dudes should never be taken seriously on anything having to do with electoral politics again, given how monumentally wrong they were about Fetterman, Williamson, Platner, etc. At some point, we just gotta ignore these folks and let them be wrong in their little corner.
@ritmoysonido It does indeed. I saw him at AfroPunk in Brooklyn back in 2024 and it was the worst live performance I had ever seen. Pretty sure he was high as hell on stage though.
@NairYasmin@BreakingPointsN Exactly. I noticed this while watching @ryangrim worm his way through a bs explanation about why they won’t have her on their show. This dude knows how to say her name, even debated her on @briebriejoy show, but somehow forgot how to pronounce it all of a sudden.
@EmmaVigeland@krystalball Maybe you should invite on to your show his opponent @cmkshama and ask her what she thought about this “masterclass”. Seems like a logical thing to do since the election is coming up, no?
@thirdintl@Sdoy23@JacktheFate@MethodMan2999@cmkshama Well since you are in the org in question, what investigating have you done in to why that chapter of DSA hasn’t endorsed an actual socialist over Adam Smith, since you claim the left is to blame for why we don’t have any alternatives? Have you or anyone raised of fuss about it?
@JacktheFate To your point though, there are a lot of libs on there. This whole list is a weird grab bag of politics, some actual leftists, some libs/moderates, etc. Basically anyone the right wing deems deviant.
