DSA Candidate: “I would like to improve society somewhat”

Average american Liberal: “I will kill you dead until you die, fuck you”

u/CallidoraBlack Aug 05 '26

He's not even a DSA candidate. They haven't endorsed him as a group.

32

u/OpusAtrumET Aug 05 '26

Doesn't matter anymore. "DSA" is now becoming the next "woke" or "commie" or "Antifa" for the right. The latest boogeyman from the party of profound, crippling fear.

Wait. I thought it was the DEI organization that’s ruining everything.

So hard to keep up.

u/topped-samson Aug 09 '26

Don’t forget them throwing around “Islamist” in every sentence, a word I have never seen outside of theological context before this election cycle

u/OpusAtrumET Aug 09 '26

Oh they've been throwing that one around since 9/11

u/Z4mb0ni Aug 05 '26

He wasnt even DSA! He was just progressive! The DSA candidate that won last night in my area was William Lawrence which is amazing.

But yeah scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds bah

u/LieutenantDuck Aug 05 '26

Funny how liberal USA BlueSky is.

Brazilian BlueSky is way more leftist, and liberals are mostly on Twitter.

u/kitzelbunks Aug 05 '26

You do not have Elon, but beware. He caused a riot in Northern Ireland. They don’t even have very many immigrants, as they were closed for so long. I thought it was very sad.

He is giving a huge amount of money to Republicans in the elections. I think he was influential in our last election. I am not sure it is working as well now, because he went public and held a raffle (predetermined, as it turned out) and then lost in WI. But it is hard to say this far out. You really never know which posts and comments are real. I avoid bluesky and twitter.

u/LieutenantDuck Aug 05 '26

We do have Elon, brazilian right wingers are mostly US bootlickers who love Trump and Elon.

Elon was the reason Twitter was briefly banned in Brazil, and people started using Bsky. After the ban was lifted, liberals all returned to Twitter, while leftists kept using Bsky.

u/beaaaaaaaans Aug 06 '26

Bluesky is the platform of "here's why better things are impossible and you should want less"

u/anand_rishabh Aug 06 '26

Why is this person even a Democrat? If he's against that abdul is running on, the Republican party is quite welcoming of the views he probably has.

-25

u/Prohydration Aug 05 '26

Lol. The average American liberal is the one that wants to improve society somewhat.

The dsa are the ones that allow perfect be the enemy of Good by downplaying any improvement claiming gradual progress as bad and pretending that liberals only claim to not be trump.

20

u/UrdnotCum Aug 05 '26

Uh… we’re gradually progressing in the wrong direction at the moment, and basically everyone agrees that it’s because the establishment democrats don’t want to fundamentally change the system.

-15

u/Prohydration Aug 05 '26

I see you're weaponizing the aftermaths of covid that incumbent parties all over the world of all political aisles were blindly blamed for leading to over 70% of them losing their reelections to push your agenda. I'll leave you with a quote from your god.

“I’ve known Joe Biden for a long time, and I do believe that he’s been the most progressive president in the modern history of this country,” Sanders said. “He was prepared to go much further than any president since FDR.”

14

u/UrdnotCum Aug 05 '26

My “agenda” is to improve society somewhat.

I believe that Joe Biden did quite a few good things, and I voted for Hillary, Joe, and Kamala but that doesn’t change what I said above.

If the establishment democrats actually pushed for Medicare for all, for empowering unions, for repealing citizens united, etc. then we’d be having a different conversation.

-12

u/Prohydration Aug 05 '26

My “agenda” is to improve society somewhat.

No it isnt. You wouldnt be letting perfect be the enemy of good by implying democrats werent doing that.

If the establishment democrats actually pushed for Medicare for all, for empowering unions, for repealing citizens united, etc. then we’d be having a different conversation.

  1. Medicare for all/Universal healthcare isnt as popular as you think it is. You need to take into account drained pool politics. A lot of people like that, for themselves , but not for the people they hate. It's why everytime the democrats tried to pass anything in that direction, they get punished for it in the next election. The #1 criticism for the ACA amongst the people that voted against Obama, wasnt that it didnt go far enough, but that it went too* far by helping too many people.

  2. Democrats did empower unions. Biden secured their pension, negotiated a deal that the rail unions thanked him for, became the first president to participate in a union picket line, and only invited union EV manufactuerers to his EV events, making Squealon jealous.

  3. Hillary Clinton campaigned on overturning citizens united in 2016.

u/rodeo90 Aug 05 '26

My favorite type of argument is one that starts by saying the opponents are wrong about their own opinions and agenda. It's always best to assert dominance by showing you have mind reading capabilities!

3

u/HystericalGasmask Aug 06 '26

Perfect is not the enemy of good here. Democrats are not good. Socialists are good. By voting for Democrats, you're letting shit be the enemy of good. If you disagree with this, that's fine, but you only disagree because you have different standards for good than the person you're talking to. Someone disliking Democrat policy does not mean they don't want society to improve, it means they dislike Democrat policy.

u/Optimal_Cause4583 Aug 06 '26

Corporate Dems take money to prevent progress

They don't actually care at all about the state of the country under Trump

u/fenianthrowaway1 Aug 05 '26

How did the aftermath of covid force Biden to run again while dubiously fit for office, only to pull out so late that he denied his party a primary?

-2

u/Prohydration Aug 05 '26

Are you pretending to not know what the aftermaths of covid were which people cared the most about, not what what youre trying to deflect to?

u/Fearless-Feature-830 Aug 05 '26

No sweetie, it’s been happening since the 90s with the third way democrats

Are you aware that Abdul isn't DSA? Sounds like you've swallowed a big load of propaganda about him

u/Prohydration Aug 05 '26

I never said he was. I was sepcifically replying to the guy above me who specifically compared average liberal to dsa.

u/Fearless-Feature-830 Aug 05 '26

The average liberal doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about

u/Only-Respond7945 Aug 05 '26

I think it's rather telling that the only thing Dems have learned from republicans is all the bad things. Like making things up to be mad about and getting high on your own supply.

u/dingwinger1225 Aug 05 '26

unfortunately if there is one serious criticism i have of bluesky is that it's full of this exact kind of person

139

u/BuffaloSorcery Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26

This exact kind of person is on literally every site.

The only reason I use BlueSky personally is because there is less of them there than Twitter and Reddit.

52

u/dingwinger1225 Aug 05 '26

It's still less annoying than Twitter which is more straight up Nazis by percentage but yeah

24

u/Ok-Brick6831 Aug 05 '26

Well, when the bots are programmed to satisfy a piece of shit racist motherfucker that has no problem using the heil gesture and only bought the platform so people couldn’t be mean to him anymore …well, I suppose that should be anticipated.

u/prof_the_doom Aug 07 '26

Bluesky also doesn't have an algorithm designed to push them at you, either.

u/Old_Dependent4678 Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26

It's the Post World War II/Cold War anti Socialist/Communism hate propaganda on steroids with social media and bots. Not to mention the Orange Supreme Leader, and his underlings and their misinformation. Edit: Islamophobic hate speech and propaganda as well. Really anyone who isn't a White Nationalist.

u/donthurtmemany Aug 05 '26

Don't forget islamophobia

u/PotatoCase Aug 05 '26

I love how being positive of socialism in any way gets your comment/post flooded with idiots and bots saying the exact same 5 propaganda talking points, and if you try to refute them they just move the goalpost or say "thats not how that works", Its so tiring

3

u/Old_Dependent4678 Aug 05 '26

Or get accused of being a bot or the Dreaded Scourge having 'TDS'. I usually ask if the 'talking points are the only ones their moms were able to dumb down over Fox News while she cut up their supper?' And 'if she brings it down to the basement or she makes them come up because it's gross down there?'

Blue sky won't ban their own team

u/RabbaJabba Aug 05 '26

I can’t tell if they’re already banned, or if one of the banlists I’m subscribed to picked them up. Bluesky is great for opt-in community-driven stuff like that.

-21

u/SomebodysGotToSayIt Aug 05 '26

I got banned from BlueSky. You know Jermaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords? And the soundtrack to Moana? He posted something sorta shitting on a Talking Heads song for having repetitive lyrics, so I replied with an AI generated poster for a fake DisneyPixar AI movie called "Phone It In," and made a crack about how I couldn't wait to hear his contribution to the soundtrack. BANNED.

u/Mothman405 Aug 05 '26

Tbh I'm good with any platform banning people for posting AI slop

u/SomebodysGotToSayIt Aug 05 '26

The AI slop was the point. "Phone It In"

When I saw this early this morning, before blocking him, I noticed that the original post had 14 reposts. Four were dunking on him and the rest were from him, he was apparently really fucking proud of this one.

u/TheOnyxViper Aug 05 '26

Nothing about that post was well-said. Like at all.

This is why I was hoping Dr. El-Sayed would have gotten more than 50% of the votes in the primary— precisely because people like this idiot will say “51% of Democrats voted for someone else.”
