Can I just say FUCK The Democratic Socialists of America, those scumbags can eat a bag of dicks.
Just look at their stances, views, and activities:
They have ALWAYS simped for all the dictators and authoritarian regimes. They have always had the most brain dead stances on foreign policy issues. They subscribe to a colossal failure of an ideology, and their interests are not with the US succeeding. They are nothing more than assets of our foreign adversaries.
The organization and movement at large is nothing more than the far left and the most whacko of Bernie Supporters that even he is uncomfortable with. I'm glad AOC went from being a fringe extremist politician to becoming more pragmatic and moderate. She has been winning me over more and more lately, and this just proves that she's moving in the right direction. Once again, the DSA can get fucked.
None of the things you mentioned are why they withdrew the endorsement of AOC. Your entire comment is strawmen of why you don't like them. They compromised with AOC on all the points you stated above... and then AOC went on to support literal Genocide and Apartheid.
Yeah supporting Genocide to advance in politics like a real "pragmatic moderate" liberal. Imagine praising this level of snakery.
I'm pointing out why the DSA is a shitty organization and movement, them turning on AOC is merely another example.
Also, you're not principled, and neither are they. They unironically support genocide against Israel and against Ukraine, they're just picking and choosing which genocides to support. Not to mention, that AOC has the most reasonable stance on the war imaginable. She condemns the actions of the Israeli government, she condemns the actions of the Palestinian groups, and she wants them to work towards of a ceasefire and a hostage release for the benefit of the people.
You can go live in your delusional world where Trump is elected and is giving the Netanyahu his full support for Israel to fully annex the West Bank and Gaza, but hey at least you stuck it to the Democrats and stood by your anti-pragmatic politics. As for the rest of us? We're still grounded in reality where Trump is still the biggest threat to our democracy.
I see that your knowledge of DSA is liberal propaganda talking points. Creating strawmen and ad-hominems out of thin air is a skill to behold.
"Everything I don't like is liberal propaganda"
Nah, lying is propaganda. You are making shit up. They don't believe in a genocide against Israel or Ukraine.
