      TF do people expect the minority party to do to stop the party with majorities in all three branches of government?

      From Wikipedia:

      Gottheimer’s net worth was between $16.9 and $75.3 million in 2023, and he and his wife Marla Tusk, who is general counsel at the political consulting firm Tusk Strategies, reported $897,617 in joint income

      AIPAC isnt the only reason.

      For some reason, AIPAC decided to be against socialism too. I’m sure they yelling “and stay poor you peasants!” is a very productive complement to their main goal of assuring every Palestine is dead.

    The Democrats are generally pro capitalism. They’re just, currently, less aggressively racist and sexist and stupid. They should be the right wing party. The Republicans should be in jail.

    Ironic that the reason they’re doing this is that socialists keep getting democratically voted in

      Democrat socialists of America. They’re a political party inside the Democrat party that’s focused of progressive politics. They all refuse AIPAC donations, condemn Israel’s genocide, want to tax the rich, and basically do everything government is supposed to.

      Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, and the like are part of it I believe.

      They want to form their own political party but understand in America people basically will not vote third party so they’re trying to do a massive coup and push Democrat party hard left. They’ve been getting some massive wins recently too.

        Whew.

        No. It’s not inside the Democratic party. DSA is a separate organization that will endorse and support candidates. It’s a big tent and there’s a lot of competing politics. Chapters report to national and chapters are typically at the city level.

        DSA is in the process of nominating progressives in all sorts of local and national elections. But DSA is more than electoral politics. You will find mutual aid, outreach and other activities in that org.

        Source: me. Join your local DSA. Or start your own chapter.

          Well then they really need to work on unifying their messaging among their local chapters because that’s not how they sell themselves around me at all.

            I mean, no. The local chapters have quite a lot of autonomy. Which is a good thing.

            The DSA has a lot of factions and basically no barrier to entry. You’re going to find all types. Some of them run food distributions and scream at any passing cop. Some of them are into getting even centrist dems elected. And there’s a lot of problems with more centralized national organizing.

            In terms of size and agenda I’d say the NDP is the closest thing up there. Though DSA is a caucus of the Democratic Party while NDP is it’s own whole party.

            No, sorry. But I don’t see why you couldn’t start one if there isn’t one. Or a DSC 😃

        Wikipedia says it’s less of a party and more of an action group that campaigns for ideologically aligned candidates. Either way, seems worth putting time into!

    There are 212 Democrats in the House and you’re blaming all of them for the actions of 4 of them.

    You are literally no different than the conservatives who blame all black people for crime based on some small percentage of the group who commits a crime. Same argument.

      Hakim Jeffries refused to say in an interview DSA has a place in the Democratic party, and then had a picnic with Jared Kushner. That’s the Democratic leadership colluding with the faction that literally seeks to unmake democracy in the US.

      So yeah, I think there’s legitimate cause for DSA to be a bit cross.

      It’s a memes page, you’re not supposed to think about it being political propaganda, you’re supposed to laugh and be propagandized without realizing it.

    Lol Democrats are Trump’s controlled opposition. If you think they exist to help the working class boy do I have a bridge to sell you. Anyway good luck trying to win against Republicans with “allies” like these. USA is cooked unless we start luigi-ing it up ❤️✌️
