My biggest fear is that the DSA triumphs in 2026 midterms (IDK what that would be, but probably 10-30 DSA or DSA-aligned "progressives" in congress is a possibility in 2026) and parlays that into winning the presidency with AOC, which would just be another weak, feckless and compromised presidency. The bare minimum for a 2028 presidency in my book would be Abolishing ICE, Arm Embargo on Israel, and Medicare 4 All, but beyond that we need serious investment in education, and some sort of re-education even. If we don't thoroughly de-nazify and also build up the alternatives to fascism, then Carlson/Fuentes 2032 or 2036 becomes a real possibility. But I don't have any confidence AOC would dismantle the surveillance and police state, and we will be right back where we are now, with an even more radical fascist coalition.
