geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Democrat reformists finding out that Democrats will only play dirty against the left.193·12 hours agoI would recommend you actually do some research before you try typing a long post trying to explain to people what’s going on.
From my understanding, this is not the fault of Fateh, but of the Democratic Party themselves, screwing up the excel sheet of one guy who probably didn’t even matter.
Claiming this is a valid reason to throw the entire victory of the democratic socialists overboard seems outrageous.
The entire election process was already set up, super confusing, which seems to be done on purpose to prevent less wealthy candidates from running.

DSA is taking off and becoming a household name. Zohran Mamdani broke the stigma on socialism. Affordable housing sounds so attractive even if you call it socialism people will not care anymore.
geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Democrat reformists finding out that Democrats will only play dirty against the left.324·23 hours agoBacking Newsom instead of demanding better is how Democrats will lose the election once again. Kamala didn’t lose because she was black or a woman. She lost because she pushed a centrist line. And supposedly Kamala was the last hope to have elections in 2028, so I’m not sure how this line of thinking works.
Especially at this point when nothing is locked in I don’t understand why people are capitulating against their own interests already.
At this point only the Democratic Socialists of America seems to have any standards within the Democratic party and the Dems are actively working against DSA as hard as possible. I’d be curious who the DSA would want to run as president though.

Sabby Sabs did an interview with Cornell West a few days ago and I listened to it a bit. https://www.youtube.com/live/Ueh1l0ZB5h8?t=1059 but even from the most generous perspective I couldn’t make any sense out of what came out of his mouth.
Cornell West seems to live under the delusion that people should be forgiven while they are committing crimes against humanity instead of after it. Also while Sabby was explaining he was wrong he pivoted to something like “this is not helping black people” which was kinda weird.
The man is old and in decline. Same with Bernie very much hit or miss these days. It’s time to stop playing with our legacy toy figures and look towards the new generation. We can appreciate them for what they did in their past and move on.

They destroy the Israeli economy. What Palestinians need is not PayPal money but international pressure on Israel from all sides.
I haven’t heard about that. Are there any articles or videos about it?
They are on Israeli SIM networks but special Palestinian SIM cards. Israel runs on technological spying. If Israel pulls the plug on the internet then they black out their own data scraping as well.
If you want to donate, donate to content creators or journalists raising awareness for Palestine. Donating to those within Gaza just for money does little to help them.
Or donate to the dev of the “No Thanks” app for Israeli boycotts.

Currently Zohran Mamdani is the best Democrat representation for the left if you really want a D in front of their name. At least for now.

You’re welcome to keep advocating for reform. Just be aware that Democrats will almost certainly pull out every dirty trick in the book, including going full Fascist, if a reformist ever stands to win.
