Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Its working out the same, just slightly more cost effective on the Israeli side. Biden is the one who kept declaring, then moving, red lines. 200
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 13/09/2026For readers outside the US im sure you know this is a dumb comparison 000
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Okay so you are going with “there was a big enough coalition of people the dems did not propperly work with to win” 100
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Your choices: Admit DSA is not that influential and the Dem party lost the election or Claim DSA is powerful enough to cost the election and dems failed to appease them and lost 100
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Little crazy to think the USA is the most divided. Half those countries have sizable communist parties 001
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Like 40 dems have higher scores, the lowest any dem has is 91% 100
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/09/2026What do you think is the expert opinion on Israel? Because I don’t think its whT you think it is 000
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Very funny to link to an article from 2024 that says “DSA destined for irrelevance after disavowing AOC” Listen its a democratic org, theyre getting out ahead of this and having the damn conversations 010
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Also like… its put on by haymarket books. Sometimes academics with fringe ideas write books that are, at their core, socialist theorizing. Ppl have no media literacy so obviously they cannot accept something being “impractical” but still worth discussing 010
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Absolutely. The leftist movement cannot be all academics, but you can’t be mad when the leftist book confrence includes academics writing about stuff “because it doesn’t speak to the working class writ large” Not everything is about immediate electoral gains 010
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/09/2026He started his campaign with that “halal-flation” ad, showing how the permits formed a secondary rent seeking market. 0120
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Its really hard to beat a republican in the democratic primary 100

Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 13/08/2026He doesn’t need to switch he can continue pulling the same bs hes been doing 000
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 10/08/2026It would be crazy for the DSA to endorse candidates that are not supported by their members nor share their policy. 000
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Hasan Piker never passed antigay legislation, supported mass deportation or voter disenfranchisement. Your only idea of defending democracy was being anti trump, something it to cheney until 2021 when she thought he was done to do 010
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 10/08/2026What bothers “people” but the people are mainly just tv pundits and internet posters. Liz Cheney is a republican who helped enact trump policies. 110
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Republican editorial: i promise i want whats best for my enemy 000
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Maam the last elections were before most Palestinians were born and supposed democracy is carrying out war crimes 000
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Im saying this guy is voting for republican bills and threatening to switch parties already. Ill support his reelection but if he decides to be a part of trumps fascism he needs to go 100
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Fetterman threatens to leave the twnt everyday, so forgive me if I dont shed a tear if hes kicked out 100
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 08/08/2026If he isnt beaten in the primary, sure. What a wierd ass line of attack 100
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Its a huge role but the point is you’re not winning votes by ignoring economic insecurity, and youre letting the conversation be dominated by ingrained beliefs that take long term education rather than solutions you can win on 101
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Great so we agree kick them out of the tent if they keep fighting against the party like this 000
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/08/2026What are you talking about? Trump literally targets and harrasses any republican that ever publicly disagreed with him until they fell in line 240
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Hp: the democratic party should make fascist collaborators fall in line or shut them out NF: republicans should gas minorities Same thing sure 250
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I found this video and its follow up cover it pretty well, and black people in my life tend to agree, black elders put a lot of trust in the establishment because of the establishments long term engagement with them youtu.be/eb-twzyyusk?...youtu.beHave we learned anything from what happened to Bernie Sanders?YouTube video by Signified B Sides 120
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Its not a messaging or policy issue. South Carolina aside, black voters are consistently very progressive. Its a demonstrated trust and commitment issue. Warren (not significantly younger, nor blacker) doesn’t have those ties with black communities, especially outside her own state either. 100
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Sure, but this is a much larger and substantial gap. I also question if state government and county executive will carry the same boost that congressional experience does 000
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Im not going to speak like theres not work to be done, but for nonwhite communities polling doesn’t signify the problem is ideology or identifying problems, but long term trust and the ability to win or enact policy. Ex Primary to gen Mamdani shot up +37 with black voters, against adams and cuomo 010
Derek @dezza.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Here for the same old breakdown… - Black voters is real, but much less when factoring age, suggesting long built trust is a larger factor - The underperformance with other minorities is not nearly as pronounced, even less with age - Having a college education doesnt make you not working class 210
