Obviously Biden wants to do this, but he’s signing on this specifically because in exchange he’s getting all the money he wants for Ukraine and Israel.

I’m guessing his part basically has to be a kind of patter song, right?

Claudia de la Cruz seems very based, though.

Yeah idk, something seems off about this data. The UK results are especially weird, I’m not ready to just accept these results. It’s also trying harmonize results from different polls. Might be a broad trend in the US of young women becoming more liberal faster but the idea that young men are more conservative than they were years ago, not sure about that.

This too conveniently falls into reactionary narratives about women.

If Trump is such an existential threat, you would think the Dems would be doing everything in their power to court the votes of the left.

Google “Dusty Deevers”. He is a newly elected state rep in Oklahoma. He recently put forward bills to charge women who get an abortion with murder, criminalize watching porn, abolish no-fault divorce, and a few other batshit ideas.

Unrelated, but I’m a little embarrassed at the fact that I call myself an ML but haven’t read any Lenin yet. Would you suggest starting with State & Revolution, or Imperialism? Or something else?

I think we’re gonna see a lot more articles like this, moreso than in 2020. They’re not directed at us commies - we’re too small in number and they know we’re not voting for Biden no matter what. I don’t think they’re even directed at your typical white DSA-adjacent radlibs - the DNC knows they will fall in line by November.

I do think that the Dems are scared shitless about POC votes - black and Arab-American voters in particular. Recent polls have shown Biden’s support among those groups is dropping precipitously; and not just in terms of general approval/disapproval numbers. The numbers of Dem-leaning POC voters that are considering not voting or voting third party have gone way up since Oct. 7.
