Can you expand on that thought?

“By almost entirely negating the ability of militant groups in Gaza to respond to Israel’s incursions, the purportedly defensive Iron Dome allows Israel to strike without fear of repercussion. And because the cost is so low when measured in Israeli casualties, Israel can wage perpetual war without suffering domestic political consequences, and is under negligible pressure to pursue diplomacy with the Palestinians. ‘In theory, a weapon like Iron Dome could be used only defensively. But in practice it doesn’t work that way,’ analyst Nathan Thrall told Jewish Currents. ‘Iron Dome facilitates greater Israeli offensive measures, because it lowers the perceived cost to Israel of escalating or extending or initiating attacks.’ In other words, while the Iron Dome may prevent the deaths of Israeli non-combatants, it has made it easier for Israel to engage in deadly operations that take Palestinian lives.”

LOL zero results for #KirkWrecked. This is clearly fan fiction. In fact this is very likely something generated by AI.
The site is literally incomplete. Look at the footer. The post says "posted by -" no name.
What is to be done with them? Nothing but pure abandonment.
What Mamdani shows us is that these policies and positions work at the local level. I'm pretty sure that DSA runs people on the DSA ticket for municipal roles but they are fully committed to this entryism tactic in the Democratic party at the federal level. It just manifests as opportunism.
It's laughable that the DSA has revolutionary wings inside it.
PSL or a new party, working as a disciplined organization, needs to begin to organize at the state level. Consider the federal system dead. We need to attack the most vulnerable segment of the political superstructure. The part closest to the workers. I'm talking city, municipal, county races. School boards, town councils, every bullshit committee, fucking HOAs if we must.
We know its effective, because organizations like Moms For Liberty have been running this playbook for years. Chuds will literally move into districts and municipalities with weak chud representation to exploit the sleeping liberals. In some States there are representation rules that can be leveraged. In my state, a party can't hold more then 2/3rds of a town council seats. Conservatives get free representation as a result because there is literally no other opposition. In the town I live in Democrats peak at 2000+ votes in a given town council election. Republicans peak at 500 votes and get 3 chairs to Democrats 6 every time.
I say all this in full ignorance of what parties like DSA, PSL, or even CPUSA are doing at the local levels regarding elected positions.
James Weinstein's table of "Cities and Towns Electing Socialist Mayors or Other Major Municipal Officers, 1911–1920" counted 74 such municipalities in 1911 and 32 in 1913, with smaller peaks in 1915 (22) and 1917 (18) ... In 1911, the SPA won election to about 1,141 local offices in total. – List of elected socialist mayors in the United States
Its so interesting to see how successful and popular the SPA was up until the 1917 revolution and the formation of Marxist Leninists parties. The New Deal syphoned socialist adjacent voters to the Democratic party. Labor began siding with Democrats and eventually the SPA was simply to fractured to exist.
Between all the various tendencies created by the October Revolution and America viewing the USSR as the primary threat abroad (making socialists the primary threat at home) the whole left movement in the US was shattered.
At first glance it would seem part of the SPAs success was rooted in it's success locally, and it's hold on a fair amount of mayoral positions.
At this point I'm just rambling. I think you all get what I'm saying. Federal representation is a pipe dream. Control over the States is a far more effective and powerful strategy. It puts the States into a position to actually resist the feds, readies the movement for inevitable balkanization, and exploits one is the primary structural contradictions in America: States Rights.
