"Socialism" lol
It is a win though, it shows people are willing to vote for change ~~through alternative parties~~ and thats fucking huge
He's a Democrat, not 3rd party.
Shit I will amend that. Forgot he won the democratic primary. He is still heavily associated with DSA though and this is well known.
Because he had to run in the democratic primary in order to have a shot. He’s a member of the DSA tho—I feel like it’s disingenuous to call him just “a Democrat” (same with AOC)
AOC is a Democrat too, what is the issue? There are factions within the Democrats and she's in one of them but afaict she is nowhere near as radical as she was depicted as being. Part of that is from getting slapped around by the leadership I'm sure.
Yeah, he's not corporate enough. Let's kick him out. Why do we keep losing? Must be the progressives we keep insisting aren't welcome.
Cuomo is the third party candidate
It never makes sense to vote third party, according to what the blue maga have told me.
Funny how the gop are calling him socialist when it’s they who have free healthcare and live off public money.
"socialism" in the sense of the french revolution, where they executed lots of people with the guillotine, must never happen again.
The problem with killing people is that it's a lot like eating potato chips: Once you start, it's impossible to stop.
Look at the Reign of Terror that immediately followed the French Revolution. They basically continued to kill people after all of the nobles were gone. These actions discouraged a lot of people and were one big factor that scared potential revolutionaries in other countries away from trying a revolution in their home country as well.
Take the rich's resources, but don't kill them.
"Tax the rich", not "eat the rich".
That is socialism for the 21st century.
The french revolution, atleast the one you are referring to, was a bourgeois revolution and decidedly not socialist. It was the rising merchant class overthrowing the feudal class structures that held back their ability to obtain capital. It was not the proletariat overthrowing the capitalist class structures which hold us back. If you try and take property from the rich they will kill you for it. This has been endlessly proven throughout history, every workers revolution has a violent counter revolution from the bourgeois. Will you roll over and take it? Or will you defend yourself and the revolution?
I have seen too many rich assholes actually go to jail, then just get out a few years later and continue the same grift.
Fuck this softy nonsense.
