DSA folks: Democrats are are the enemy

Some Dems: DSA folks view us as the enemy and are therefore not our allies -- they could help wreck the party

DSA folks: Holy shit how could you say that??? Unbelievable slanderlibel

🚨 Hasan Piker Says DSA Primaries Can “Change the Trajectory of America” and Usher in the “Decade of Socialism”

Yesterday, Piker said Stalinists, Maoists, Trotskyists, and people who normally reject “bourgeois elections” were excited to vote in the New York primary. He then stated that the “commie corridor” is “the inflection point of the American communist movement.”

From here, Piker goes into DSA strategy.

“Primaries are how we change the trajectory of the Democratic Party and hopefully change the trajectory of America.”

Put socialists on the inside, while keeping pressure on the outside through “direct action,” “labor militancy,” and “work stoppages.” That is DSA’s inside-outside strategy in a nutshell.

After the wins started to roll in, Piker celebrated by declaring, “It’s the decade of socialism. It’s coming to a neighborhood near you.”

Then came the Mao allusion.

“When I said we were gonna let 1,000 Zohrans bloom, this is what I meant.”

This person is 100% correct and everyone disagreeing is proving the point.

🚨 DSA’s top leadership just adopted a platform calling to abolish the Senate, replace the president and Supreme Court, abolish the “carceral forces” of the state, grant amnesty to all illegal immigrants, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

My latest for @CityJournal!

@RabbiPoupko @RepDanGoldman @bradlander Wow there’s a Nazi Sesame Street now? I hate it.

@MichaelRapaport Does he know how much Celsius loves Jews? He’s drinking a bev that is the defacto Jewish energy drink in the US.

I actually had a Celsius rep spot my kippah once and give me free cans because they’re the only kosher energy drink that’s easy to find. 🤣

We all know how this works …

A half dozen panels of invited testimony from unions and nonprofits with no discernible time limits.

A 10 minute break that stretches into 30 minutes.

An announcement that public testimony is limited to 1 minute.

Then, testimony is halted because council has a “hard stop.”

Happens every time.

The DSA is standing with the IRGC over America.

These freaks have to be expelled from the Democratic Party. All they do is cost us votes.

🚨 BREAKING: The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) just released a statement on Iran titled “DSA Stands against Imperialist War and with the Iranian People.” Read how it actually frames the regime...

The framing is telling. Throughout the statement, DSA repeatedly invokes solidarity with “the Iranian people,” yet the argument consistently centers the sovereignty of the Iranian state. It condemns “violations of its sovereignty” and insists that “national sovereignty is a precondition for working-class liberation,” while saying nothing about the Islamic Republic’s repression of its own citizens. There’s no mention of political prisoners, protest crackdowns, executions, or the mass demonstrations that have defined Iranian domestic politics in recent years.

Even more striking is how the statement assigns responsibility for Iranian suffering almost entirely to the United States. DSA claims U.S. policy has “destroyed the Iranian economy,” “empowered a class of domestic sanctions profiteers,” and “caused the Iranian working class to suffer.” Missing from the analysis: the regime’s own corruption and mismanagement, and its role as a central financer and sponsor of the Axis of Resistance—the network of proxies and militant groups Iran uses to project power across the region.

Unsurprisingly, the statement eventually pivots from foreign policy commentary to movement-building, calling for “participation in mass mobilizations,” urging readers to “contact their representatives in Congress,” and to “join DSA and its International Committee.” That’s notable because DSA’s International Committee has recently drawn attention for full-throated defenses of the regime even amid repression of protesters—making it hard to read this document as neutral “solidarity” rather than ideological alignment.

I’m done explaining things for the week. This is it. This is everything and if you don’t get it… I’ll probably explain but I shouldn’t need to because this is self explanatory. If you’re already in my head.

[Max Steele @coachmaxsteele]

@JonWalkerpdx Our first black rep, who won a highly contested race, is a "coward." Lovely.

These people are not serious and have demonstrated an allergy to seriousness.

Morillo brands herself as "the resistance." Multnomah County Dems will say nothing because Andre Miller is her CoS.

[Max Steele @coachmaxsteele]

@_tjh_ Well there are many redundant or make-work positions at the city. It should be easy to find 12-24 of them.

@PDXforAll Keep pushing this garbage. You’re going to get collapsing support for shelters. Good neighbor agreements are crucial to finding solutions that work for ALL Portlanders.

You can’t just ram things down peoples’ throats, no matter how “compassionate” your intentions are.

[Max Steele @coachmaxsteele]

@ericfruits @KATUNews I think we'll be able to count on Loretta Smith, Dan Ryan, Olivia Clark, and Eric Zimmerman to vote for ending this agreement. They'll need to scrounge up 3 more votes to make it happen.

Everyone except Dan wanted to "wait and see." I guess this is the "see" part.

@PortlandLoo If only they worked this well *in Portland.* Ours are disgusting.

I stopped a man breaking into the temporary portable toilet outside my business, 4 blocks from a Portland Loo. He would rather cut the padlock and risk jail time vs using the available Loo.

[Max Steele @coachmaxsteele]

@ericfruits What are you saying about Brown Hope?

[Max Steele @coachmaxsteele]

@PDXReal1 I disagree.

4 Liberals
4 Progressives
4 Socialists

3 Progressives can be worked with, creating a 6 or 7 vs 5 or 6 split on big issues. Wilson will break Liberal.

In 2 years: 3 of the Socialists and 1 of the Progressives will be vulnerable to being voted out.
