USA Politics

More and more Democratic Socialists are winning primaries. Centrism has failed. People want to move further to the left. Red scare propaganda is childish and silly. Bring up actual arguments instead of "sHe PrAiSeD cOmMuNiStS!?!?!?!?!?!".

I'm sorry, but so what? We have literal fascists in ruling positions and not a single elected communist in power.
Anyone who tries to claim both sides are the same is a goddamn moron who has lost all touch with reality.

Also, abolishing police does not mean what you think it does Azas. Inform yourself and read up on some of these positions instead of being constantly outraged because you fell once again for the stupidest twitter scams. Time to get a grip on reality, buddy. If you want to discuss a position quote the exact wording and let us analyze it. Don't post random twitter clips or tweets by propagandists. Post the exact quote. You simply saying "they are loons!!!" because you aren't educated enough to understand their actual words is not an argument. There's no point to that. If you want to talk politics be specific and post exactly what was said, with the given context behind these positions.

But, just like every single time I've asked the centrists and conservatives to be specific in their claims, nothing will follow. It's never about discussing positions. It's just outrage farming and once there's the slightest pushback, once people actually ask to discuss an actual position we're met with silence. Or weird AI-generated rants that barely address the point and then go full-on whataboutism to give the illusion of having made a valid point.

Actually in this case the woman in question seems to actually want to totally abolish not only the police but the prison system as well, not to mention all borders for good measure:

'A world without borders—just like a world without prisons or police—is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward'

'Yes, literally, abolish the border'

“F**k you. We’re gonna defund and abolish. You don’t get to water down our movements.”

“No. It means ending policing full stop. Period. No more police at all ever,”


All of these quotes, as well as many other extreme and questionable statements, are from a now deleted twitter account but can be sourced via the web archive links in the below CNN article:
