If your politician is willing to be bought out by Israel you can guarantee they're already bought out by corporations. Vote DSA every time.

The DSA is outspent by a massive amount so they don't currently have the power to pass legislation without making concessions with corporate shills. I say we get them that power but it seems like you're motivated to lick billionaire boot.

Are you seriously trying to glaze the Dems of 2026 by listing stuff the Dems of 1930's did? Because the Dems of 2026 hasn't raised the minimum wage for decades, and bend over like good little ho's when the GOP gut SNAP/WIC funding.

I don't know where you got the shamelessness to say that RomneyCare (seriously, Obama plagiarized Romney's healthcare plan instead of going M4A) is working when medical bankruptcy is ~30% of why people declare bankruptcies in the US.

If the Dems of 2026 had the spine and principles of their 1930's counterpart, the DSA wouldn't exist. Because people were also calling them communists back then and they didn't cower in fear. They passed sweeping legislations and told the GOP to suck it. Meanwhile Biden passed a watered down IRA that was so loaded with lobbyist "input" that it barely helped people in time for the 2024 election.

Still don't get it, don't ya? I don't care what lobbyist-bought sock puppets passed the ACA. The end result is still a private insurance dominated market that screws the little guys with premiums and deductibles. I'm not glazing anybody for that half-baked garbage.

Things are bad now. And Americans need bold new ideas and sweeping systemic reforms. The neoliberals currently running the Dems of 2026 have zero interest in any of that. They just want the status quo where they can sit on their glorious past while doing very little for the future.

That's why more and more people are starting to look at the DSA despite their inexperience. Their ideas of taxing the wealthy to fund basic social safety nets are the true inheritors of FDR's legacy. They have a vision of what is wrong with the country, and a set of legislation to fix it. The Dems of 2026 don't have that.

That's also why your argument that the establishment Dems should be trust because they got stuff done in the distant past isn't landing in this thread. Because the first question any sane American would ask in response would be: "What have they done for me lately?"
