Don't forget to show my shitposts to the people. They're well worth seeing.

I love the "purity tests" whining because it works for literally any reason you might support one candidate over another.



Except, of course, for "electability"

I have my own hot take which is that it's racist to assume that candidates of color could only succeed by accepting billionaire and PAC money

AOC's campaign strategy is "big organizing not big fundraising" but sure let's attribute her electoral success to a nonexistent centrist donor.

I always wonder about people like this, do they really not realize that Joe Biden is sucking all the air out of the room for POC candidates? He's a braindead zombie, but he's very clearly being viewed as "Obama's Third Term" by Dem Primary voters.

Well ike did run the largest socialist organization in history :smug:

Well second largest, I'm guessing the Red Army probably had us beat at that point

the anarchist believes in the Bircher conspiracy that Eisenhower was a secret communist agent

he let China go red!!!


stuff like this is an implicit criticism of bernie, but it shows an ignorance of why bernie was the one socialist in national office for years. bernie is the socialist choice because dedicated socialists from oppressed nationalities were killed or imprisoned in massive numbers

fred hampton would be younger than bernie if he was alive today

oscar lópez rivera is thankfully still alive and free now, but he's also younger than bernie

granted, neither would want to be president of the USA, but it shows why it's a white guy who's lived in Vermont for decades carrying on the socialist tradition nationally

I'm pretty sure, yeah. They're pretty ahead of the curve in appropriating woke terminology for what amounts to conservative bigotry. It's basically White Feminism congealed.

The kind of feminism that assumes that "female" must be tied to motherhood and particular bodily functions is not the kind of feminism that makes me (a cis woman) feel included. I mean, no, trans women do not know how it feels to bear children in their womb, but neither do I, so I find your requirements for womanhood a tiny bit restrictive.

For them, childless women and women who are not constantly pregnant like dachshunds trapped in a South Carolina dog mill belong in the ovens just as much as trans women.

It's hardly the most evil TERF thing but the part where they use "Goody" (as in "Goodwife") as part of their self-naming conventions is bizarre beyond belief to me. I don't think anybody considers 17th century Puritans to be the good guys in the 21st century.
