is the DSA strong enough to pull that off

the dsa are stupid dreamers who call each other comrades

the US is a two party system and all you can do is take over an existing party right now, and for the left, the democrats are the better option

so take over the democrats like the tea party took over the republicans, except instead of insane crazy people, put in sane ones, like ed balls or the ghost of that 8-year-old girl trump reverse benghazi'd

dem turnout was low in a lot of areas and it's dumb but i think they needed the wakeup call that trump actually wanted to do hosed up poo poo with immigration and wants to cut young people's financial aid and all the bad things so i expect to see greater dem turnout and lower rep turnout because he didn't locker her up or build the wall and he is starting wars and obamacare is here to stay.

I have to wonder if the "big win tonight!" narrative is a genuinely-felt belief or just posturing.

i have an idyllic image of life in the late 90s. i was poor as poo poo but generally americans seemed more or less okay. there was optimism. 9/11 was so incredibly brain breaking.

the only way trump and reps get out of office is if another recession hits because white people only care about more money and being racist

that's where the real money is, mobilizing midterm voters

I doubt very seriously there's anyone else on the republican side to mobilize, they usually turn out in droves for the midterms. If the dems get their poo poo together, actually put in more than a token effort, and get people out en masse they could blow everyone away

Which means of course they'll spend some token money in slightly purple areas and then run a shitload of really terrible centrists without any fanfare lmao

seriously, Dude got 48.6% and if the GOP in kansas is any indication there is decent chance the republicans could get pissy and collapse into infighting the moment they think the pressures up.

it's a great opportunity because clinton is gone and the "they go low, we go high" mentality is over and we can build momentum around progressive candidates and not get dragged down by one major candidate with zero charisma bringing down the downticket.

i plan to do some canvassing and get involved as we get closer. the party has its best chance to change into something that isn't complete poo poo but maybe just mostly or partially poo poo.
