Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:
I don't want another centrist candidate. A lot of people share that view. Everyone knows a lot of people don't want another centrist. The current political landscape clearly favors a progressive candidate like Mamdani, Bernie, or AOC
We're years away from the election. Election results are good for progressives that focus on fixing real issues the average American experiences. Centrist Democrats have been performing poorly
If the DNC pushes Newsom in 2028 and he loses, it will squarely be the fault of the DNC. Voter preferences are clear, just as they were in 2024 and 2016
At some point we have to admit the candidates pushed by the DNC were unpopular. They lost because no one wanted them. The DNC preferred a Trump presidency over a progressive Democrat
"Vote blue no matter who" does not work. Democrats lost in both 2016 and 2024 against one of the worst candidates in presidential history because the DNC did a poor job. It's the DNC you should be upset with, not the people who got sick of pinching their nose to vote
I voted against Trump 3 elections in a row. I'm fucking sick and tired of having to vote for pro-corporate Democrats. I didn't feel any of them had my interests in mind
