Hopefully not by voting. I absolutely loath peoples misplaced trust in bureaucratic mechanisms. If you want something done you do it, I’m not going to vote for someone in one of the pre-approved parties, just for them to give 40 reasons why it’s unreasonable. You are never allowed to vote when it could actually create change, remember that.
If you’re going to reply with ai the least you could do is remove the dashes so it’s less obvious
So then as long as my machine doesn’t have systemd im fine?
Its literally always this one guys complaint, you know, the guy that shills signal, the app that literally requires a phone number to use.
The corporation sponsors the pro capitalist ideologue? I’m shocked.
My entry level job requires that I use 3 separate apps. How do you get around that?
Gonna second the soatok hate. This guys just been signals #1 fanboy for the last several years and it really gets on my nerves.
Facebook is what free’d me of having to interact with my local DSA /hj
Local DSA posts everything on facebook, I don’t have facebook and won’t post my face onto there to make it happen.
I email them but they just tell me check the facebook
I try to join the discord but they want to see me at events first, which I can’t find, because they are posted on the facebook and I can only scroll down 3 posts before I get asked to login.
I give them my number and my signal but they don’t reach out.
🙃
I use Disroot. Idk if sign-ups are always open though.
Opportunists when they see a tactic with a 100year track record of not working
“if you don’t compromise and vote for the social fascist you’re actually a silly ultra leftist baby wawawa”
I do agree with that, but what will separate him from the rest is if he calls attention to the fact that its happening and still holds firm to his beliefs when the entire establishment is against him.
My issue isn’t that he isn’t pure enough, it’s that he’s running with a bad crowd, and everyone else I can think of who ran with that crowd got neutered into being useless. (AOC comes to mind)
He’s already said that he thinks the police department is an appropriate size and wasn’t gonna increase it. But wasn’t the issue that it was already oversized to begin with? Even in DSA, downsizing and cutting funding for the police is a popular position. The fact that some of his most progressive positions are to the right of many DSA members I’ve met IRL and online does not invoke confidence.
What I see often too is supporters of DSA-Democrats defending their move to the right in order to be more palatable to the general public and win an election, but when you do this YOU become more right wing, the PUBLIC does not move more left. You must always challenge capitalism to have an effective socialist program.
Socialist in words only. No socialist is running as a democrat. Plain and simple.
Yes, I know that its nothing to do with socialist philosophy. Way to entirely misread my point.
He’s a self-described democratic socialist, while being a social democrat. DSA has actual democratic socialist members, just not ones that would stoop as low as to run as a democrat. Anyone who’s had the displeasure of attending a few DSA meetings can see the wide spectrum of ideologies represented within it, more than half of which can hardly be called anything remotely socialist.
The nazi’s were self described “socalists” too. Let’s not take people at their words on these things.
Edit: The point being made here is not that nazi’s were socialist (they weren’t) nor is it to paint Mamdani as a nazi. The point is him calling himself a socialist means nothing.
Yep. Really tired of people pretending Mamdani is some godly savior of NYC.
He’s just another succdem, and he’ll show his true colors (if he already hasn’t) sooner or later.
Nutomic has said some problematic shit, and is one of the devs of lemmy/admin on lemmy.ml.
This isn’t anti-commie nonsense, dudes transphobic.
Yep. Tenacity all the way!

I’m gonna be honest, its been so long since I’ve actually had people to set it up and use it with that even I would need to spend a day and a half figuring out how to set it up again.
Run for office and do what exactly? Okay, I guess i could potentially win something at a county or city level. Great. Then I propose things, and shucks all my proposals get turned down because more bureaucracy. “We can’t do that, what with the state laws and such” I’ve literally watched this song and dance at many a city council meeting, often involving someone that I personally campaigned for!
What an absolute fucking waste of time it was for me to have even tried. I did everything the way I was supposed to, but I’m now almost 10 years into this, and I’ve got exactly nothing to show for it. Some of you might be happy doing this charade until you’re 80 years old, but not me. Take your pragmatism, utilitarianism, whatever word of the day you decide to use to justify opportunism and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
