But since winning, she(Nixon) moved fast to distance herself from several DSA positions, saying she doesn’t back abolishing all prisons — just for-profit ones, she doesn’t support “defunding” police or having so-called “open borders,” and she disagreed with the national DSA’s controversial commemoration of Fidel Castro.
Nixon’s distancing seems very rational to me. I think don’t this movement needs to have a mandate to magically get rid of all prisons and cops. Seriously, when’s that going to happen? Not any time soon. Praise Castro? That guy that created a utopia in Cuba lol? That’ll be so fucking popular lol. Seems like dipshits(or childishly naive people) or Republican saboteurs are running this party(which I’ve heard of for the first time today).
I really hope people don’t support this party and make them the stupid face of Democratic Socialism.
edit: fucking downvoted. lol, good luck guys. i’m sure things will go as you want, what ever the fuck that is
She shouldn’t even be answering questions about prisons or Castro. She should be answering any culture war question the way Zohran did, because every DSA candidate is going to have whatever dumb shit they said in 2014 dragged up and examined, as the billionaires who own the media outlets don’t want anyone talking about affordability.
DSA’s have the playbook. They just need to run the play. Republicans have made it laughably easy to win in November.
Have my upvote though, for at least giving a genuine opinion. You and I at least agree that a candidate letting themselves be forced into discussing culture war nonsense is stupid.
I hope I agree with you. You actually responded without immediately downvoting and I respect that.
I guess I’ve always had my own interpretation of what a social democrat is. Means of productions and all that shit is just an old, failed philosophy. I want the best of both worlds. Private companies can compete but we actually have strong government regulations to keep all the pieces of shit under control…with military backing. Like, if you’re corrupt, you’re considered a traitor. I know how much would need to be fleshed out but I’m just giving the general idea of what I think.
The only other thing besides the obvious stuff is that the obvious utilities are government controlled. Energy, internet, insurance, healthcare, housing, etc…
But if we go with standard textbook socialism that a dumbass failure like Castro implemented, this movement WILL fail whether or not if the DNC establishment candidates and Repubs made it easy or not.
The DSA i just heard of. If this article is saying anything true, then the DSA is making huge mistakes associating itself with Castro and then it’s other big agendas are eliminating police and getting rid of public prisons(imo, everyone involved with private prisons should be sentenced to death. It’s almost as bad as a capitalist health care system).
Getting rid of cops and standard prisons are a pie in the sky option right now. I get that it’s a good goal as long as we create a more humane system but a fledgling party can’t expect to push that and expect that people aren’t going to push back. Thanks for listening.
If you didn’t read the article to the end, I’d recommend that you do. It’s interesting.
This is the DSAs Program/platform. I read the article, but it does little to explain DSAs actual program. Many of the parts “contested” are long term goals, not immediate ones.
Demonize, give me a fucking break. Maybe take 10 seconds to look through some comment history.
I have no idea how you got the idea that I implied we shouldn’t vote for progressives. I’m pointing out terrible strategies that will easily be attacked and stupid voters will fall for those attacks like usual.
And again, for the very fledgling DSA to publicly support Castro ideology is a dumb, dumb mistake. How is that not obvious?

To me, it’s stupid.

The wing that lost to trump by running on how great genocide is has no business telling anyone what it takes to win.
Yup, glad I’m not part of the DNC and haven’t had any respect for them in a long time. But promoting Castro is a stupid fucking idea
Maybe, but the alternative is centrist democrats who can only be counted on to support genocide.
Or republicans.
I regard as suspicious anyone who tries to demonize progressives or DSA candidates.
