The Civil War never ended—it just became a cold war. Democratic socialist. Don’t watch cable news or Sunday news shows. Listen to the @ProLeftPodcast.bsky.social. Fuck Trump & Elon Musk.

My President.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

It doesn't happen much and that's the problem.

I just want Dems who are unattached to tradition and the old ways of doing things, and that's usually younger politicians.

I think the Trump regime is gonna be a big anchor tied to incumbent Republicans next November

Administrations before didn't loot the federal government, extort businesses and universities or kidnap and murder citizens. Times have changed.

The Trump regime & GOP have negated the power of Congress but Dems haven't realized it yet

Rod Green @thetheredundant.bsky.social · 2h

What political environment do you think we're in where Republicans are willing to work with Dems?

The time of their choosing is never, or possibly after they take back congress. The place of their choosing is nowhere, with the halls of congress a distant second. The manner of their choosing is to demand ACA subsidies and nothing else, because it would be too divisive otherwise.

I remember a few months ago on CNN when asked about his party’s response to McIver’s arrest, Jeffries said that the Dems response would be “ in a time, place and manner of our choosing..it will be continuous and meet the moment.”

Dems communication strategy is so obsolete. Average voters don’t care about data, PowerPoint presentations or policy wonkery. You drive people to the polls by appealing to their emotions. People vote with their hearts, not their brains.

I don't understand the incessant infatuation with winning over a few Fox News viewers. The better strategy for Dems is to persuade the people standing on the sidelines.

Rod Green @thetheredundant.bsky.social · 21h

There aren't 5-10% Fox viewers who can be persuaded to vote for a socialist

Rod Green @thetheredundant.bsky.social · 21h

You think there are Fox News viewers who can be persuaded to vote for a socialist based on a 10 min interview???

A 10 min segment with someone on the Left is immediately cancelled out by 23 hours and 50 mins of right wing propaganda.

what do i think would work? focusing on class and race and gender and with a particular focus on progressive-leaning politics that appeal to a large majority of americans, centered around a campaign using MODERN communications. but nobody wants to bother with that.
