These voters might want to take a closer look at socialism and democratic socialism and learn what they are before they decide they don't approve of them. If they still disagree, then fine. But learn what they are first. #Politics #Democrats #Democracy #Progressive #DemocraticSocialism #Socialism #US #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/15/us/politics/democratic-socialism-poll.html?unlocked_article_code=1.BVE.XPLR.MrQvFyEaT2il&smid=url-share

@GhostOnTheHalfShell The overextended #duopoly is obviously in need of retirement.

#DemocraticSocialism

@copter_chief Communism, where 'too little' is never too little, is just as guilty of power abuses in #Capitalism - where too much is never too much.

So if you place #greed above the sustainability of future generations, it's a no brainer to proliferate conflict that produces more armaments, which are heavily laden with #FossilFuels processing.

Countries, throughout history, have gone to war to break out of economic decline. Mass murder is profitable in Communism and Capitalism, so #DemocraticSocialism should be THE no brainer.

- Remove #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy from power

Hillary Clinton on DSA: Write the Bills, Debate the Policies, Deliver Results

Did Hillary Clinton endorse DSA? Not exactly. Her Morning Joe remarks welcomed left-wing policy debate and challenged Democrats to turn slogans into legislation.

Does DSA Belong in the Democratic Party? Rahm Emanuel Draws a Hard Line

Does DSA belong in the Democratic coalition? Emanuel says no. DSA’s strategy, recent election wins and major policy differences reveal a more complicated picture.

Forget the Socialist Scare: America’s Crisis Is Capitalism Without Democracy

Republicans and corporate Democrats attack DSA with socialist scare tactics while ignoring the oligarchic economy crushing workers and concentrating America’s wealth.

"Mr. Thanedar was the latest pro-Israel Democrat to fall to a challenge from the left. This summer, Representatives #DianaDeGette of #Colorado, #DanGoldman of #NewYork and #AdrianoEspaillat of New York were all defeated by younger, more progressive challengers who were fueled by strong organization by the Democratic Socialists of America."

Congressman Is Ousted by #DemocraticSocialist in #Michigan House Primary

Representative #ShriThanedar is among a wave of Democratic incumbents in Congress whom primary voters have sent packing in a surge of anti-incumbent fervor this cycle.

By Bayliss Wagner, Aug. 5, 2026

"Democratic primary voters ousted Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, nominating a democratic socialist for a deep-blue district in the latest sign of the party’s hunger for new blood.

"Mr. Thanedar narrowly lost to #DonavanMcKinney, a state representative, in the 13th Congressional District, which includes parts of #Detroit and its suburbs. The race was called on Wednesday morning.

"Both candidates are progressive and support policies like funding universal health care and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But Mr. McKinney, 34, who is Black and grew up in Detroit, has contrasted his background with that of Mr. Thanedar, 71, an Indian immigrant who was elected to Congress in 2022. Mr. Thanedar’s victory that year left Detroit, a city that is roughly three-quarters Black, without a Black representative in Washington for the first time in decades.

"The primary also highlighted Democratic voters’ continued backlash against lawmakers who support Israel. Mr. McKinney has condemned the war in Gaza as a '#genocide' and campaigned with fellow #ProPalestinian Democrats, including Dr. #AbdulElSayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan’s marquee Senate race. Mr. Thanedar, in contrast, has consistently voted to fund aid for the Jewish state."
