"That's almost word for word what they told us when we were sold the war in Iraq. Remember 2003?" -- another Pete Buttigieg masterclass on Fox News. There is no Democrat better at communicating to that audience.

becoming a rep was one of the most meaningful and personally significant things i've done for moving beyond dead end jobs and poverty, i learned more and gained better experience than i did at my old admin job by a lot. do stuff, it rules.

This does go the same for a union if you’re able to be in one, too! If you’re active in it, paying dues feels much better.

are you now, or have you ever been, in a polycule with nerdjpg kirbyavatar, and let me remind you that you are under oath

now that the tournament is over everyone remember to cancel their foxone subscription

Gorgeous morning

Being spoiled again tonight

You will die choking on the air never having fought for what you claim you believe if you don’t act soon

People need this training of running an organization that is quickly growing. Of managing groups of people and directing their energy. Of passing proposals. Of preventing disruption. How else do you plan to learn these skills? When the bullets are flying? Get in here now

DSA chapters are kinda proto-workers councils if you think about it

It is very interesting realizing almost everyone commenting on DSA has no idea how DSA works or what it even is when everyone could just go and observe and go on their local chapter website and probably figure it out.

Images that go hard as hell

😭

😭

Lots of people are trying to simultaneously hold “electoralism in which we inherit the bourgeois state cannot lead to socialism” and “we need to praise liberal electoralism and spend a lot of our time trying to win elections as democrats” Towards what end? Are you really thinking clearly about

Who is going to tell these people there’s 230+ chapters at this point lol

Amazing unironically

Social democracy cannot forever insulate capitalism in crisis. To put your eggs in its basket is to believe it can fulfill its fake promises. That it can reform capitalism. That crisis under its leadership won’t occur.

My man took me out

Someone just sent this article to every DSA chapter

I want to post a censored messaged but I can’t shit talk

oh wow, you think this would go better if we didn’t have a standardized decision-making process or if we didn’t ask a few people to volunteer to handle key responsibilities in a more formalized way, you’re kidding(!)

“Why do people have to be revolutionary Marxists can’t we all just get along” this is how your movement gets crushed and you all die instead of win

Human behavior is a weird way to say capitalism and imperialism

Forbes@forbes.com · 2mo ago

Scientists have reached a consensus that human behavior is a big driver of climate change—but Americans aren't buying it.

I will now defend the economic system where 12 billionaires have the wealth of half the humans on earth. Because I am super cool and awesome and nice

Perhaps controversial but this is bad and it’s fine for more people to realize the economy we live in mostly benefits the top 5%. Even if things are similar to how they have been it is not wrong for people to eventually get frustrated with living in a class society

The median credit card balance is not $6,715. The median credit card balance is $0. Most Americans do not *have* credit card debt. The Transunion report is reporting the average (not median!!!) balance *among those who have balances*. www.transunion.com/content/dam/...

You aren’t ready for the bourgeois financial capitalist revolt against the machine after this bubble bursts

In case you still haven't caught on. The explosions are intentional but not in the way you think. They're getting huge government contracts, spending one tenth of it making a trash firework, then they'll go back to the well end take more taxpayer money. This is not a new scam. Space X does this too

NASA picks Blue Origin, other space firms for moon missions
