Mind you, I’m biased since I’m not from the US, I’m Balkan. So a quick heads up there. Plus I’m a hardline commie so yeah. Just did some research on this because It caught my eye.
I haven’t really noticed this here or at Lemmygrad. But a lot of online “leftist” spaces, especially on Reddit, are over hyping this shit too much lmao.
Zohran so far:
- denounces Hamas
- denounces Venezuela and Cuba as dictatorships
- intends to keep zionist Jennifer Tisch as police commissioner
- hired Obama staffers
- ‘don’t sell out bro!’
This circlejerk about a social democrat getting elected is doing my head in, people are acting like the October revolution happened.
Just don’t act surprised when magically not much actual change happens in New York. Also don’t give me “Oh but the pipeline!!!1!”. Yeah If the pipeline actually worked, Bernie and AOC supporters would have been actual marxists by now (Also as a Serb, fuck Bernie, Parenti was right about your dumbass).
I have a pet peeve with American “anti-capitalists” in general. Where they constantly just whine how everything is expensive, no public transport and no free healthcare. Yet they’d probably be fine with the world suffering as long as they got those three things + whatever treats they want.
Don’t forget to join a good org nearby you, read and organize folks!
Yeah that makes sense. It’s easier to be disaffected by a party ratfucking than to realize the person your wanted to win actually sucks.
Definitely. And at the time I didn’t really think to dig into Bernie’s positions on particular things. I had done it in the past with other politicians but I was limited in my ability to really find out what I wanted to know so it would take me hours and hours of searching to really figure out my position on politicians. My first election was for Obama’s first term and even then I was like “man all of these candidates are saying a lot of nothing but I GUESS his platform is the best”… So after that, with Bernie’s rhetoric it was easy to ride the wave and not put the effort in since even his milquetoast positions were way more radical
