    Democratic Socialist need to act as their own party. The Democratic National Convention (DNC) does not represent our interest.

      I thought this too, but they can’t act as spoilers. Democratic Socialists need to beat Centrists in the primaries. Otherwise you throw more elections to the conservatives.

      After decades of sliding right, We finally have a chance to shift that Overton window slightly to the left and people are second guessing it?

        I’m so jaded and suspicious now that I see stupid ideas like this as fake lefty conservative infiltrators or agitprop bots attempting to psyop people who experience empathy by spreading self-sabotaging propaganda.

        The risk is obviously too high to fracture our base now of all times. This reads as obvious agitation and concern trolling.

          This is true, although I fantasize about a party that does nothing but illegalize Israel’s lobby, prosecute foreign agents, and prosecute pedophiles in the Epstein class. If we could just have that, things would improve immediately. Can you imagine Israel not taking all our money.

      No, that’s the way to eliminate the power of both, and give MAGA full power to destroy democracy. The DemSocs need to take over the Democratic Party, the way the Tea Party/ MAGA took over the Republican party.

      Yes split the vote on everyone who experiences empathy.

      Just what sane Americans needs right now! Less voting power! Brilliant!
