This idea that we should only support democratic socialists like Mamdani and Bernie is ridiculous and is definitively accelerationist.

Are you familiar with the concept of "kayfabe" from American pro-wrestling? I need the Corporate Democrats to fear ALL of us walking away so they don't do... Exactly what they're doing to Mamdani anyway. 😓 that didn't work.

But when it comes down to it? After the primaries, we still need to hold our nose and think of the Climate and all people first, for any even-marginal slowdown. Results matter.

With that out of the way? The Democrats have a chance to actually be a part of real change, real success, and to build a real future for the party and country. But they're refusing. It is maddening.

Did you see the way Walz alienated the indigenous voters? I'm deeply curious about what response you get from Palestinian-Americans grieving their families. To absolve Democrats of their inability to message coherently when we need it most? Is simply unacceptable.

Some part of me wishes for a Local that could run as a Republican as a DSA member, and get entrenched that way. I would knock on so many doors for that person. The Parties have switched before.

But this is the time to pressure the Democrats for a platform worth voting for in 2026 and 2028 - what are you doing? This isn't maximizing their success.
