Actually, the DSA is infinitely larger as a party, because it’s a dues-paying political party. The Democrats aren’t actually a party, at all. You can’t become a member of the Democratic party. You can register to vote as a Dem, but you can’t join the party and vote on the platform and candidates by paying dues, like…

I mean, in the abstract I agree with that reasoning 100% (I joined Socialist Alternative, the other main socialist group of note, in May 2016 with the intention of harrying the Dems from the Left in the eventuality of the Clinton administration—oops!). But, in all of my studying of the old commie shitheads that give…

Weird, this successfully flying plane has lost over 1,000 nationwide seats, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency since 2010. Doesn’t sound too successful!

I sincerely hope you’re wrong. My take is that these discussions have to happen before you grasp at the brass ring of power, and there’s no real good time to do it. And “the party” you refer to seems to be the Democrats. These are not Democrats, first. Their (our) loyalty is to an ideology and a set of policy…

Weird, I don’t seem to recall a big DSA presence last time around? But hey, providing evidence for this weird claim is hard, I’m sure.

Take a look at DSA numbers from before the 2016 primaries, then take a look at DSA numbers now, and then extrapolate what they’ve done on the local level to every single primary state…

I’m agnostic on the politics of endorsing Nixon. My concerns stem more from capacity.

I tend to agree with this take. The article literally ends with a “building the plane as we fly” metaphor from a DSA member. 

Your watch caught this a little late. The navel-gazing, purity-testing, and self-destructing on the Left starts when one Leftist talks to another Leftist for more than 30 seconds. It’s kinda our “thing”

Uhhh, the Soviet Union wasn’t around by the time I had developed object permanence, so this article has at least 4 mistakes, according to a simple “Ctrl+F.”

Cool, a thing we Berniebros and those #StillWithHer deadenders can agree on: fuck this goofy old cop.

This is extremely good. Thanks.

This article is good, but the hed is only half true; these articles are certainly hastening the revolution in some circles.

Correct, but out here in CO, there’s quite a few districts where a robust social democratic menu of policies would win... until the moment you say you supported the Dem. State Sens. who were recalled after the post-Aurora gun control measures (un-fun historical fact: these were the first legislative recalls in state…

lol

Sure are some real good jokes in the comments here. Extremely good. Be proud of your good ass jokes.

This is a good piece.

Bye Alex. You are good and the site was good. Fuck Univison.

To be fair, if Ned is a Democrat (less likely in NE), he’s actually got one of the leftmost State Dem parties. Jane Kleeb and a bunch of Bernie people took over after the 16 Caucuses. So he might actually support this stuff! We might surprise you in flyover country with how (right kind of) red we can get.

yeah, FUCK YOU JILL STEIN who I assume was the HRC aide who suggested boosting Trump in the GOP primary and ordered volunteers out of Michigan the week of GOTV and didn’t campaign in Wisconsin and spent more money on ads in LA than canvassers in PA and and and and

Every person in this comment thread who uses “Jill Stein” or “protest vote” or “BernieBro” or anything to do with the loserass HRC campaign handing the country to Trump is first on the list for reeducation when President Ocasio Cortez is inaugurated.
