No other liberal news outlets are covering this.
Nah, that’s the future of the Democratic party. If he doesn’t like it, he can quit, and join the MAGAs. He’s already talking like them.
YES PLEASE START A LEFTIST PARTY
This guy will start digging when he hits rock bottom.
“Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any other system in the history of the world. Create more innovation. Socialism has failed everywhere,” Suozzi said in the interview, which he even posted to his social media accounts.
Oh? Like social security, medicare, medicaid, public schooling, and stimulus packages? All socialist policies that make America work. But no, it must be the billionaires and billion dollar corporations.
This country would have broken before World War 1 if not for socialist policies that were enacted to save it from total collapse. And here we are at the precipice once again and this fuckweed is calling for everyone to abandon their parachute and commit a trust fall with the greediest most insubstantial people to have ever existed. AKA capitalists
I dare say, capitalism, by it’s very definition, has CREATED all poverty.
Capitalism needs homelessness, joblessness and poverty in order to function. Probably preaching to the choir, but it doesn’t create poverty because it is bad as an economic system, it creates poverty because it works so well.
I more meant that it’s very nature is that it is a system where wealth both exists and is accumulated. If we didn’t have money, we wouldn’t have poverty.
True but the problem isn’t just money, its private property. Money is how social relations under capitalism are managed. It isn’t the root of the problem, but it creates lots of avenues for exploitation. I would like to live in a world without money but we have to organize and fight for it.
Party purge is very Lenin. Borderline Stalin. How socialist of you.
Does Tom Suozzi get to determine who joins the party? Sounds like he should leave the democratic party if he takes issue with what the party members clearly want.
The Democrats aren’t a party. They’re a voting blob. When DSA becomes an actual party it will shake the foundations of the whole political system.
80000 members, and they’re terrified. Not because we are socialists, but because we are organized. Wanna scare the ruling class, give em a taste of DSA derangement syndrome? Join.
Buddy, Mamdani won the primary. He is what the democrats in NYC want. The DSA just needs to lean into this and start running lower level candidates for all roles.
Why are you calling me buddy? It comes off patronising, so i would love to hear about your involvement in left wing organizing, or any actual organizing. Are you in DSA? Or are you a democrat talking down to DSA, as dems do compulsively to the working class, telling us to stay in our lane? I honestly cant tell. DSA should run lower level campaigns in addition, i agree, and I think Mamdani is going to inspire much much more of that.
That’s the DSA’s ultimate goal, my guy. Use DNC infrastructure to its advantage, and use that as a spring board to breaking with the Dems. At what point that happens is debated within the organization. But this guy will get his wish, sooner or later, especially if the DNC continues to have zero sense of self preservation
Debatable, as you mentioned, but I love your energy. It was shocking how much of a party focus we had this year compared to 2023.
What a time to be a democratic socialist!
Sure Tom, we need more Schumers.
no u
Lately I’ve been noticing (not sure what to call it) this “culture shock” with people around 20,40 and 60. I’m almost 40 and caught myself thinking about good ol 90s films but then again I checked myself and realized how and why things changed and what I started missing still exists. Maybe I’m noticing a difference? But why is this a human behavior and why does it have to be used in politics?
Thank you Tom Suozzi for outing yourself you fucking fuck.
The Democratic Party leadership and establishment is not there to help you. They are there to stop you. They are there to act as a honey trap to capture and neutralize progressive/leftist politicians and policies while the Republicans implement the authoritarian police state that the donors of both parties need to quell the inevitable rebellion that will occur once the general population fully realizes the existential crisis we are in.
Primaries are where we can fight. Every DINO needs to be primaried, and we need to start fucking showing up to primaries. IIRC primary elections are voted in by only like 10-20% of eligible voters.
You can see in this post how the DNC tries to invalidate even fighting in the primaries.
- Mamdani wins the primary
- The DNC does everything in their power to make him lose in the general election
- When he loses, they can point to that and go “see voters just don’t want that!” In the next primary.
So even after winning in a primary, anyone left of Nixon is going to get rat fucked by the party so they can keep up their bullshit electability narrative.
Honestly, I think the DNC is doing everything in their power to make him win, and it’s fun to see them do it.
Blue no matter who!
Not like that.
If the dems use skullduggery to avoid primaries, they are no longer ‘the lesser evil’ and the old blue-no-matter-who arguments do not apply anymore.
It’s not that deep. Give me a real choice in a primary.
Yeah, primary this guy. Let him give his seat to a better representative.
How about you leave. Like, what are y’all even fucking doing anymore? You guys are more unpopular than you ever have been and it’s literally your own fault.
They’ll just go Republican and cash in on their servitude to the rich
The DNC Dems are there to prevent a progressive party from forming. The DNC Dems are working together with the Reps to fight against the people of America for the rich oligarchs running the country.
We warned that this is what is going on before the last presidential election and before that. But people wouldn’t want to listen, instead defending “slow genocide” and “lesser of two evils” and other insane statements. Now they keep getting screwed as the DNC Dems understand that they will keep getting away with it.
Collecting their kickbacks.
They could become the traditional republicans with what their views are these days.
Are there even guys with car salesman hair style that aren’t douchebags?
Yeah, they’re mainly in retro country-western bands though.
Here’s another one to primary. Get on it, America!
