May 2025: DoorDash spends $1 million to stop a democratic socialist from winning the mayoralty September 2026: DoorDash reaches a $131.5 million settlement with NYC's democratic socialist administration and admits to massive wage theft This is what's possible when you vote DSA
Following New York City lobbying push, DoorDash spends $1M on Cuomo's mayoral bid

The donation marks the largest of any in the crowded Democratic primary for New York City mayor.Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the City’s delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and we’re deeply sorry.

We’ve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and they’ll be contacted directly with payment details.

We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. We’ve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again.

You really shouldn't be in politics if you can't take advantage of your opponent being sponsored by The Job Destroying Factory That Raises Your Water And Power Bills And Whose Creators Say It Might Kill Us All.

More than a quarter of U.S. voters, including the majority of Democrats, identify as supporters of the Democratic Socialists of America, new polling finds as left-wing ideology surges in popularity despite the Trump administration’s attempts to quash it.

I’m happy to have Labor Day twice but let’s remember why en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day
President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe.[18] In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative,[19] formally adopting the date as a United States federal holiday through a law he signed in 1894.[2]

this stuff loses a lot of regular people like me, wins no one on the right, and undermines efforts to build unity in a coalition that go back to AOC backing biden. with elections right around the corner, does the dem party have a toxic centrist problem?

the moderate democratic position on Gaza is that if Israel’s opponents do not comport themselves perfectly, if they don’t dance flawlessly through the rhetorical minefields every day, then it’s dead children forever.

the conceit here is to pass off basically a Municipal Reagonomics sentiment as pragmatism. progressive pragmatism even! why i just openly identify as a democratic socialist, bc it’s important to be clear about what your program is. this shit is a tax cut for the rich and privatization program

The media is running on a constant short term perspective. Weve made our biggest challenge yet! Because of a decade of organizing coming to this moment. In the short term yes there are still a lot of people who arent into socialism, but we can convince people! Bc weve been doing it for 10 years!

the thing about "champagne socialists" is that a lot of us know we were extraordinarily lucky due to the circumstances of our birth and want better lives for everyone as a result, I do not understand how this is supposed to be a gotcha

If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.

I don't want to be dramatic (yes I do) but Stevens and Craig winning by buying their way to the senate would be a moral crime for which I would never forgive the Democratic party and everyone who said it was fine.

Why has DSA grown? One argument from this research: not just ideology, but organization. Strong membership plus ongoing and continuous participation in social movements creates credibility, committed volunteers, political skills, and durable electoral capacity. www.niskanencenter.org/inside-the-d...

Candidates affiliated with (or sympathetic to) the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) have recently won several Democratic primaries.
