Is it? Isn't concerning themselves with the Dems at all a huge L? None of the congresspeople who were ever members (maybe Rashida) even care about the org. DSA would probably gain more by not wasting any further time on anything associated with Dems, and any electoral candidates they do put up should just be beholden to DSA and the masses.

Yet will they emplore their members to vote for the genocidal monster anyways if he doesn't drop out? big-honk Will they still back the genocidal corrupt ass fascist enabling Democrats over actual parties more in line with their claimed values?

How do you define "working class?"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I worked at a union tire factory and everyone there supported Trump. From the local president down to the workers.

Funny, everyone in the working class I know fucking hates both of them

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

Yes many working class people are reactionary, we know this already.

the american working class is usually unable to delve deeply into politics due to the crazy fuckin conditions they're in. Most people don't give a shit.

Most of the working class are quite uneducated so it makes sense, yeah

The classism, holy shit. Most of this thread is dripping with tone deafness from my fellow hexbears wtf.

Yep, some self-crit is needed to recontextualize the working class struggle within electoral dynamics.
