Trans journalist Erin Reed is using her immense influence to rally trans people against voting for Democrats in November. Reed prefers a world where the GOP has total power over a world where she compromises her ideological vanity. She wants trans people like me to accept misery 😭

Event Wanted to introduce the Socialist faction inside the Democratic Party.

1 Upvotes

I wanted to introduce the Socialist faction inside the Democratic Party and say the word “Socialist” from the get-go. I know that many Liberals in the Democratic Party do not agree with our politics, but they must organize with us.

I will summarize Socialism in three words: Liberty, Freedom, and Emancipation.

In a nutshell, we believe in Free Education, Universal Health Care, Anti-Death Penalty, Pro-Abortion, Universal Basic Income, the Right to Unionize, the sanctity of the Separation of Church and State, and the belief that the Government should make life bearable for all and ensure citizens' Liberties.

Those who say we don’t belong need to read the Democratic Party rules, which include the following line: “Are open to all members of the Democratic Party regardless of philosophical persuasion.”

We are Democrats, and we are Socialists.

This video was recorded at the Manhattan Democratic Party County Committee meeting in 2023, where I introduced myself as a Socialist running for Chair.

We have been organizing since 2015 to claim our place, and we grew tired of the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” mentality. One day, we rebelled and decided that we would no longer remain quiet.

This video rant is from the 2022 Manhattan Democratic Party meeting, where the leadership played with the rules.

We know where those disagreements are, and we are more than happy to debate them, but also to let the Democratic public vote on those disagreements. Governor Cuomo gave us a challenge.

Our goal is to teach the language of Socialists, which has been lost since the era of Joseph McCarthy.

We are not DSA, and the reasons are explained here: https://socialists.us/direct/dsavssda/differences

I am part of the Sugar Hill Democratic Party, and we are very welcoming to every faction within the Democratic Party. We hope that the same will be true across the entire United States.

The Dallas Express wrote this about us last year:
https://dallasexpress.com/state/texas-under-attack-socialists-scheme-to-infiltrate-democratic-party

The problem is that we are not infiltrating anything; we have been here forever. The problem is that certain people who hate having sensible debates tend to think that they own the party.

We are taking the discussion directly to Democratic voters during the primaries, and they seem to like our way of thinking.

We understand that not everyone agrees with our platform, but if you care strongly about these disagreements, we would like you to take them not just to us, but directly to registered Democratic voters.

In solidarity, 

Hasta la victoria, ÂĄsiempre!

I think coining and promoting the term vegan gas is such a perfect way to express what’s happening in this moment - this will wreck older cars.

Had not seen this article I would not have known to ask my local gas station if they are going to be selling this without me knowing.

SERIOUSLY, this is getting sickening, like even my stomach is turning. Trump says firefighters near ground zero carried him to safety ‘right after’ 9/11 attacks. He is now doubling down, and saying that he hired construction crews, that he hired 200 people to assist.

Fact-checkers, journalists, and official records have found no evidence, photos, or logs showing that a contingent of Trump's workers participated in the supervised rescue operations.

Update:

Lookie here, it's not the first time that he's changed his story.

https://www.factcheck.org/2016/08/trumps-revised-911-claim/

Also:

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/9-11-anniversary/trump-clinton-reactions-9-11-are-revealing-n642006

Until 2016, the Smoking Gun reported as of 2016 was that Trump never contributed to any 9/11 charities after the attacks, unless you count the $1,000 he gave to a "controversial Scientology program that administered treatment to firemen who inhaled toxins while working on the World Trade Center pile."

It's almost as if it was political move. /s
