True, but tbf again I'm def willing to submit to self-critique on this one, I think I had a bit of an ultra-leftist error of trying to focus too hard on making solidarity statements for various events while ignoring local electoral struggles. Definately going to pay harder attention to local referendums next time around

i can't even really say anything cause as a member of our chapter's RnR working group alot of that was on me.

tbf they did call a plebiscite for a similar thing to sell off the water utility in somerville nj, unfortunately our local DSA chapter didn't notice it in time and started campaigning against it waaaaayyyy too late so it passed.

to be fair if this was like a couple years ago or even last year I bet it would have gotten double the views, and if we lived in peak gamergate this would have gotten at least 1 mill

G. Gordon Liddy was an absolute unit. A unit of pure derangement but a unit nonetheless

Seriously, I feel like the root cause of the problem is that people these days are so alienated in society that they have grown too afraid to socialize. Complaints like “no, I don’t want to talk to people who I imagine might say reactionary things that I don’t like!” are just excuses to stop oneself from interacting with real people in the real world.

Not gonna lie I see some posts on this site that outright describe people in their community with the same vitriolic hatred that Timothy McVeigh describes brown people. Sure I bet there are alot of areas with right wingers, but I'm sorry but if everyone around you is a literal demon then have you ever thought about the fact that the common factor in all of your interactions with these people is you?

The emotional core of fascism is a deep misanthropy and I've seen so many young people who grew up with some socialization issues and a deepset hatred of other people latch onto communist politics and then become some sort of fascist or right-winger later in life. I don't care about how epic you think your Maoism-Third Worldism is, I've seen enough of those people become Nazis or Haziods that I can clearly see a pattern in that sort of psychological framework to be incredibly sus of that sort of sentiment.

this is the enlightened centrist compromise we can all agree on

I've lived in cities adjacent to NYC my whole life and have visited it since 2013 and seen how it's transformed over the decades.

meh, philly and chicago basically have a similar amount of transit coverage per capita (im not being super scientific here but you get what I mean) and have real people living in them and not just software engineers that are too snubby for LA
