    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.

      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.

            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?
