All these Dem attacks on DSA and other left-leaning orgs are happening because socialism is getting more popular and it terrifies the rich. They know their power depends on people believing in their empty promises, and they’d rather attack us instead of fighting for anything good

"socialism" (ie government doing stuff) is becoming more popular, not actual socialism. Hence results like this.

Among Democrats - "Which economic system do you prefer?" Very Liberal: 🔴 Socialism: 53% 🟡 Capitalism: 29% Somewhat Liberal: 🟡 Capitalism: 45% 🔴 Socialism: 36% Moderate/Conservative: 🟡 Capitalism: 33% 🔴 Socialism: 29% Echelon / July 13, 2026

And they don't seem to grasp much of the country is just sick of the same old theatrics Codddle the rich, lie to the middle class, pretend the poor don't exist Make a lot of empty promises every election cycle, but continue the same old shit

I'm 71 years old. I don't want the status quo to be preserved. I don't want the same tired promises that never come to fruition. I want young people with new ideas that are willing to take risks and aren't tied to the past or to big donors. Dems need to embrace the future not cling to the past.

Same old song & dance, except modern establishment Democrats today are just slow Republicans. All that billionaire super PAC money, you understand. Look at Michigan Senate race - AIPAC et al have pumped $50+ million into supporting supposed Democrat Haley "Israel comes to me in my dreams" Stevens.

We have a word for people who want to preserve the status quo, despite the will of many who want to move in the direction of freedom. People who resist change. Who want to conserve things as they are.

Most of the things the DSA wants are programs and policies created by the New Deal and the Civil Rights Movement. In as much as Conservatives want to preserve or restore the past… DSA is more conservative than the establishment Democrats. We have to fight for what our parents once had.
