Biden’s decision to be walk the picket line seems to me to be more a result of a strategic reorientation of the Democratic Party to better incorporate labor that occurred in 2020 than it is a result of labor’s “strength” (or even militancy)

This is a bad example because Kennedy literally invaded Cuba and Nixon normalized relations with China, but the point of class independent politics isn’t about the individual pragmatic balance sheet of each individual administration. Obama was a terrible pres. but cooled tensions

So the people behind the pro-Israel Brownshirt fascist auxiliary at UCLA, who fired explosives into the encampment, (“best jews for truth”) raised 100k on GFM. Is this the usual Israel astroturf project or does it have some grassroots kahanist element too? Something to watch

Pretty easy rule of thumb to follow: - stick to principles and don’t sell out queer ppl to make colonized nationalists etc more comfortable - stick to principles and don’t sell out victims of imperialism because you think it’ll make the ruling class give you a green new deal

The unequivocal inability of DSA to have an independent influence on national politics is extremely concerning. We could be agitating for FORC, instead we’re ambiguously campaigning for Harris/Newsome etc

Sign on to tell the Democratic Party's leadership that it's time to call it: Withdraw Biden. Reject Fascism. We need a candidate that can beat the rise of the right—someone who stands with working people & will take a morally clear anti-war stance. 👉

AOC: "We do negotiate, but what we don't do is bring them publicly in order to empower not just Rs but the fascist flank of the R Party"... this is effectively *hiding the socialist critique of bourgeois politics from the entire working class*. It is the political strategy of

Again, nobody wants to lay off staff, but if you’re working in a socialist organization the long term political goals should be priority #1 . Empowering ELECTED LEADERSHIP is the best way to do this. The bureaucracy should serve the members, not the other way around

@escargotpro_ @NickTagliaferro I don’t think that this has anything to do with any personal political courage or conviction on Biden’s part but rather the DP apparatus actually taking the threat of the right seriously whereas there was more of a shared vision of politics at the top prior to Trump

@meagankday Not sure organized democratic mass politics is totally counterposed to terrorism. Also not clear to me that attacks on civilians were part of the plan rather than a result of a combination of the spontaneous energy of ppl breaching walls & IDF friendly/indiscriminate fire
