It was a pleasure to sit for this interview about the strategic and moral catastrophe awaiting us all if the left abandons its focus on combating the repressive apparatus of the state.
This is a fucking disgrace and another reason the dyed in the wool life long Dems, like me, no.longer recognize the party. We cannot continue to cocede policy issues to the right.
Here's a comparison of Jon Ossoff's and Angie Nixon's Cash on Hand according to @OpenSecretsDC.
🟥Jon Ossoff: $42.5M
🟦Angie Nixon: $264K
STOP GIVING TO JON OSSOFF, HE HAS ENOUGH MONEY!! GIVE TO @AngieNixon!!
@PollTracker2024@DanRShafer My breakdown
1.Funding childcare & public schools is Gov's job
2.He supports expanding BadgerCare to a model many other states have had for years. Huge win for some, zero impact on others.
3.Doesn't give specifics, talks about economic growth
4.&5. Going back to Pre-Walker Status
The biggest threat to capitalism are those who insist that any attempt to manage the downsides of it and share the upsides is somehow communism. The Nordic nations are not communist nations. They simply give a shit about their people who comprise their mixed-market economies.
Democratic socialist label
It’s seen as positive by half the party – more by younger & more liberal Democrats.
It's not negative to other Dems though - more neutral.
The term “Democratic establishment” is not met with much negativity within the party - most call it a positive or are neutral about it.

She came up about 3,500 votes short, but Francesca Hong is a legend. What an incredible campaign. Nobody thought an unabashed democratic socialist would get more than 311,000 votes in this primary.
