The U.S. has one of the least revolutionary populations in the world with a huge chunk of the country openly hostile to socialism.
If you don’t want to accept social democrats or even disaffected liberals in the DSA tent that’s fine but the organization will have a hard ceiling.
Hearing people complain about “luxury condos” is so irritating
1. Because the rich need places to live too, if they don’t have nice condos downtown they buy up land and homes in the suburbs and take space from families
2. Developers will market *anything* as luxury to sell it

The Utah Democrats are hoping to expand their caucus out of Salt Lake County by flipping #HD59, which combines Wasatch County with the liberal resort town of Park City.
It backed Trump by 11, but the Dems have a great candidate and no GOP incumbent running.

Flávio is not welcome here, deport him back to Brazil so he can face justice just like his father did and is doing now

The best way to build political power in this country is to kneecap the more progressive candidates right before the election. Genius move here.
The DSA National Political Committee has voted to unendorse and expel Nithya Raman
She has until October 31 to express clear direct support for BDS to retain endorsement, and until January 1 to condemn weapon shipments for Israel out of LAX to remain a member of DSA
Both resolutions are linked below

Utah, Alabama, and West Virginia all have a more pro-trans Medicaid policy than what Turek is advocating for. Those are all *significantly* redder than Iowa. He does not need to do this to win.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

It’s notable that Turek polling well behind Sand gets much less attention from the chattering class than AES polling behind Benson
New: Iowa Democrat Josh Turek is running a radical Senate campaign ... to the center
- Opposes impeachment
- Supports Laken Riley Act
- Criticizes Dems for blocking Husted data center bill and farm bill
- Ticks off all the ways he can work with Trump
“Politically, the term moderate can be pejorative. And I say that I’m proudly a moderate," he says in an interview.
His opponent, Rep. Ashley Hinson, says Turek is "going to be voting with Chuck Schumer 100% of the time." But she too is running toward the center, distancing herself from Trump on Iran, Russia and Vivek ad
Turek: Hinson’s “masquerading. I mean that’s a problem for me. I’m genuinely a bipartisan person,” he added. “She has been partisan. … Just be who you are.”
On the throwback race in Iowa, where “They expect us to represent Iowa interests and not just the interests of whoever’s president of the United States," according to Chuck Grassley -->

Adam Hamilton on transgender rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.”
“I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

Make him veto Medicare for All
Make him veto a $25 living wage
Make him veto free childcare
Make him veto Block the Bombs to Israel
Make him veto zero aid to Israel
Make him veto free college
Make him veto erasing student loans
Make him veto taxes on billionaires
.@SenBrianSchatz says that if Democrats take the Senate, the party's left wing needs to be strategic about not proposing things "that the president of the United States is guaranteed to veto."
"If we want to be more aspirational, if we want to make more bold policy changes... that's for 2028."
So why hasn’t your party been doing that kind of “bold thinking” to save the lake while it’s been hitting critical levels over the past DECADE? You have had the supermajority.
It’s because there is no profit to be made in saving the lake, and that’s all the GOP is about. Profit.

"I support the rights of trans women because I'm a girls' girl," says AOC. "The right to choose over our bodies is the right to choose over our bodies."

Trans voter to @AOC: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that?
AOC:
