"When I see it getting co-opted so easily, and when I see Zohran being forced or choosing to bend the knee in various ways, & when I see AOC backing away from the DSA & I see so many left media figures unwilling to engage with the simple contradiction... -- the obvious inconsistency -- of what it means for Zohran & AOC to be supporting Hakeem Jeffries to be Speaker of the House...it makes me feel like we are thinking we are winning when we're at maximum co-option."

Americans have been fighting republicans with democrats for 40 years and got Trump, twice. Unless you can convince every democratic voter to vote Green or other progressive party, you’ll get even worse.

"[Political socialism] had become so deeply immersed in the bourgeois state that it had lost all sense of constructive Socialist action and felt itself tied to the barren routine of everyday practical politics as a galley-slave was chained to his bench." -Rudolf Rocker

A party of superdelegates exists only to oppose and defeat the popular will. It can't be voted away, shamed, or reformed. #Democrats #fascism "It is the Democratic party's job to prevent peace, equality, justice, and socialism."

This is what I tried to warn you would happen when you joined the chorus dumping on the "Platner Left". I said 'they' weren't going to stop there, and they didn't.

unwilling to engage with the simple contradiction= please pay attention to me and what is importante to me.

Exactly this. El-Sayed has been co-opted as well. He's a lesser evil than the filth he's running against. But all of these ppl have been co-opted by corporate dems.

The capacity of the Democrats to shoot each other in the foot is something to behold.

So you’re saying if we don’t vote our way out of this at this election, we’ll raise hell at the next one? 😃

@ninaturner Co-option. You mean you’re upset that power has to be shared, and you can’t have an Obama dictatorship?

These are legitimate questions that need to be reconciled in a serious way for any kind of left political project involving these figures to matter.

Are you starting to realize yet that your Communist bullshit is TOXIC? We the People DO NOT WANT THAT!

🪦 Dempublican-Republicrat Uniparty! 🖖🏼 Briahna Joy Gray!

@ninaturner You are. The corporate leaders who control the money will make it happen.

Heard this today. The Dems want to shut down the left completely. And if they do this, per Reed Galen and David Sirota, it means someone worse than Trump. Quite an interesting conversation.

It's called playing ball, and if you're not interested in playing ball, you should not be doing your politics within the Democratic Party.

DSA is or is not part of the Democrat Party?

👊🏽❤️

agree!

@ninaturner Great interview. I watched the entire 30 minute episode.
