@raged_panda@aghamom@grouchygauchos He said far left extremists want to keep people’s belly full, I was showing an example where far left extremists failed horribly at that.
@dolphinbristol@AndrewAzlan@jackUSAmiller@Acyn The dsa wants to abolish capitalism and replace it with a system where the means of production are socially owned and the economy is planned. Also, a majority of their leadership is openly communist.
@rmannimg@leftistbeard@estherzelda0514 77% is quite a lot good luck getting them to drop their private insurance and forcing them onto a government plan they may or may not like after also raising their taxes
@rmannimg@leftistbeard@estherzelda0514 Majority of Americans would drop support for it once they find out that means raising taxes and eliminating private insurance
@rmannimg@leftistbeard@estherzelda0514 If you think a candidate could win the presidency while supporting fracking in a close election I genuinely don’t know what to tell you. Insane levels of delusion. They would lose every swing state and especially Pennsylvania by record numbers.
@leftistbeard@rmannimg@estherzelda0514 She changed her views on issues because her far left positions like banning fracking, Medicare for all, and decriminalizing illegal immigration were super unpopular.
@leftistbeard@rmannimg@estherzelda0514 I’m saying she ran to the left in 2020. You’re talking about the 2024 campaign when she did try to pivot to the center. She lost because voters didn’t believe her pivot and though she was too far left due to the positions she took in 2020
@rmannimg@leftistbeard@estherzelda0514 She ran on Medicare for all until her poll numbers dropped because contrary to popular belief, most Americans are happy with their private insurance and don’t want to be forced to give it up. She also wanted to ban fracking.
@leftistbeard@estherzelda0514 Majority of voters thought Kamala was too far to the left. She ran way to the left in 2020 primaries, got crushed, and tried to pivot to the center and voters didn’t buy it. If she ran further to the left she would’ve lost even more.
@truedrewcollins@DSA_Watch Stupid. Not only would that be a blatant violation of the first amendment, it would just give them way more attention and make them more popular.
@cigarettewater5@LeeKuanYimby@adammocklerr Still, I wouldn’t frame this as “fixing everything” when he’s mostly just done what other mayors have + a really bad rent freeze.
