#Trump and #Republicans won by pretending to be #populists. Then they betrayed their #voters by being #elitists instead. #DemocraticSocialists actually are populists, and can appeal to the #MAGA base if they do it right.

@ProgressivePower I need to remember this when I hear someone cry about #democraticsocialists
I want to be prepared to say “better than pedophile ring fascists” -
The Democratic Party's establishment is going to need to decide (quite quickly) who they hate more.... the Republicans & the Tangerine Tyrant or the (emerging) new Left of the party (i.e. NY Mayor Zohran Mamdani & new contender Abdul El-Sayed who has won the Michigan primary) & are proving quite popular?
Anyone thinking the answer must be they hate Trump more, may well be disappointed (if the experience of the UK Labour Party is anything to go by).

"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."

Heh. So, after all the #RedScare crappo coming from #MSM about #DemocraticSocialists , you know I had to go to the official party platform for 2026.
"Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. Expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional representation and ranked choice voting in all elections, and abolish the Senate."
I don't have a problem with a more #ParliamentaryGovernment and more parties! Bring it on!!!

#DemocraticSocialists of America propose radical overhaul of US govt
The Democratic Socialists of America want to fight for working-class Americans by offering #FreeHealthcare and abolishing the U.S. Senate [sic]. What else does their #WorkersDeserveMore platform say?
by Emily R. Condon
Updated Aug. 2, 2026,Excerpt: "Although not all self-described #DemocraticSocialists are in the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA is an increasingly influential player on the left. Members include New York Rep. #AlexandriaOcasioCortez, New York City Mayor #ZohranMamdani and Michigan Rep. #RashidaTlaib, all Democrats. Three Democratic nominees for U.S. House of Representative seats – #DarializaAvilaChevalier and #ClaireValdez in New York and #MelatKiros in Colorado – also belong to the group, as do a growing list of state and local officials.
"A third of #Democrats identify as democratic socialists, according to a July 30 CNN poll, but it's possible that quite a few of those are not familiar with some of the DSA's more unusual suggestions for overhauling the U.S. government. A July 28 Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that 47% of Americans say they don't understand democratic socialist policies.
"While President Donald Trump and his GOP allies slam democratic socialists as
'#communists,' the Democratic Socialists of America is defining its own brand in the new platform."The 120,000-member organization's policy roadmap has three sections:
- Thriving Working-Class Communities
- Working-Class Foreign Policy
- Working-Class Democracy "Read more [or not. I'll be posting the official DSA platform soon...]:

You must be desperate when you resort to the same old communist scare tactics from the 1950s—just to avoid accountability. Meanwhile, people can’t afford food or healthcare under the Trump regime. They have no answers for that, only lining their pockets with market manipulation.

The policies of the #DemocraticSocialists of America #DSA don’t look anything like the Democratic Socialist governments in #Scandinavia. Not counting the brief period that the Karelian Autonomous #Soviet #Socialist Republic existed in what is now #Finland after the #Bolshevik Revolution in #Russia.
Is #MeganRomer funded by #Project2025 to create chaos in the #DemocraticParty before the #2026election ? 🤔 https://www.foxnews.com/media/dsa-co-chair-mocked-proudly-confirming-socialists-want-abolish-senate-national-borders-prisons

Justice for Lorenzo Community Assembly + Art Build
July 17, 2026 @ 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm at Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation 2506 Sutherland Street, Houston, TX 77023
"In the wake of ICE’s murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, join Houston DSA for a community assembly to grieve, air concerns, and share ideas on how to protect our neighbors from ICE. Build connections and networks as we discuss the failures and crimes of our administrations, local to federal, and how we can build power together for change. There will be breakouts in Spanish and English.
This event will double as an art build to create signs and materials for our Saturday protest." #DSA #HDSA #Houston #HoustonDSA #HTX #DemocraticSocialists #DemocraticSocialistsofAmerica #Justice4Lorenzo

#Protestors in #ScarboroughME call for #ICE to leave #Maine, demand action from leaders
A coalition of immigrant advocates, local leaders and concerned residents are holding an "emergency protest" after ICE agents shot and killed a Colombian man in Biddeford on Monday.
About 200 people gathered in front of the ICE facility in Scarborough a day after federal agents shot and killed a man in Biddeford.
Updated: 11:38 AM EDT Jul 14, 2026
by Francis FlisiukSCARBOROUGH, Maine — "A group of about 200 local activists, elected officials, community organizations and faith leaders are holding an 'emergency protest' outside the Scarborough ICE facility a day after the shooting death of a Colombian man in #BiddefordME.
"On Monday, 26-year-old #JoanSebastianGuerrero was shot and killed by ICE, leaving behind a wife, 3-year-old child, and sister.
"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says an ICE officer 'fearing for public safety' [BULLSHIT!] shot and killed the driver. It happened as agents were watching a home of someone they believed was in the country illegally and has a final order of removal from the country.
"Protestors called for the removal of all ICE agents in Maine and the release of all people detained by federal agents.
" 'The governor has to issue a proclamation, saying that ICE is not allowed in our state, and the Attorney General should direct the State Troopers to be filing criminal charges against the murderers in our community,' said @Todd , one of the organizers of the protest.
"Representatives from more than 20 organizations attended the protest including: #MaineYouthPower, Maine Small Businesses Association, Maine #DemocraticSocialists of America, the Maine #WomensLobby, #MaineCoalitionForPalestine, the #MaineGreenParty, #MainePRIDE, #MaineTransnet and the Maine #AFLCIO."

The #DSA #Berniecrats need to be really LOUD about the fact that their platform & policy positions represent a MAJORITY OF AMERICANS
#DemocraticSocialists need to push back HARD against #CorporateMedia trying to paint them as 'extreme' (e.g., equivalent to #MAGA)
The stats are all there to be hollered from the rooftops:
#USians want
Money out of politics

No tax $$ for #WarCrimes -

After Denver primary upset, Trump and GOP returns to 'communist' attacks against Dems ahead of the midterms
The primary victory on Tuesday by another democratic socialist, Melat Kiros, for a Denver congressional seat suggested the trend may extend beyond Manhattan liberalism.
