Hi I'm bean
I'm mostly gaming for now, but if you've seen me arguing on here, you already know I can't shut up about politics
So the stream is basically:
🎮 Games
💬 Politics
🧠Overthinking everything
Come hang out

@macs_posts@GoodVibePolitik She didn’t “denounce the org,” and I’m not trying to convince you to vote for her. I’m saying that supporting most of the platform tells us far more about her politics than whether she performs loyalty to the national organization.
@kyclasswarrior Even if you agree with most of the platform, several abolitionist planks are obviously controversial. Allies do not have to reach every political conclusion at the same time or endorse an entire national platform to be meaningfully aligned.
@trash_panda97 Why? If she doesn’t want voters associating her with the national platform, highlighting that distinction makes sense. Posting the clip is just reinforcing the answer she gave.
@DeLevisV@jacobin I mean, it’s not some mysterious, impossibly complex concept. It means democratizing economic power so ownership and control aren’t concentrated in a small class.
@DeLevisV@jacobin It’s a little sad that you’re still hearing “economic democracy” as “whatever 51% wants.” The point is to prevent a small minority with concentrated wealth from exercising unchecked power over everyone else.
@mxllysworld DSA isn’t just an electoral brand. It organizes workers and tenants to build power outside elections around a shared program. Its elected officials should express that power. Endorsing candidates who reject the program would make DSA irrelevant, not enforcing standards.
@factpostnews If the states have the capacity to provide child care, then the federal government clearly has the capacity to fund and coordinate a national program. That doesn't even make sense.
