If I'm correct it's because Democratic electeds and consultants want to win by default, that is reach a political equilibrium in which the GOP are seen as too extreme to govern, and a plurality of voters have no choice but to elect Democrats. This results in sliding right and taking the temperature.

When I say there is no democracy in this country, this is what I mean. We have no democratic control of *anything* no matter how consequential. We can’t stop a genocide, we can’t impeach a billionaire pedophile, we can’t stop an AI CSAM factory.These are all related.

Elon Musk's accomplishments over the last year include starving thousands of people to death (and laughing about it) and creating Hitler AI that undresses children (and laughing about it). Is it time to do something about billionaires yet?

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

It is a little funny that some people, they are now mostly still on Twitter, genuinely miss and think it was better when DSA was a glorified Harringtonite book club
No matter where we go from here I cannot believe we, as DSA, in under 10 years of reconstitution, elected a guy to govern the most important city in the world that says in his inaugural speech: “I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist.”
