He also claims to be a 7th degree black belt in Cajun Karate Keichu, which was invented by his dad to be the first ever “100% American Christian karate”

isnt there somebody you forgot to include?

Yes of course, I’m just making commentary on likely ways they’d act against her

She’s already stated she’s not going to comment on the posts at all, which I’d say is an anti-denouncement in its own way

The vote to expel her is the one thing I think they might try. It depends on whether or not the want to let her sit and use her to attempt to constantly scandalize and humiliate the left, both electoral and not.

I don’t think it’d even be hard to get a critical mass of Dems on board with removing her. A decreasing but still large amount of the country identifies with anti-communism, probably enough to pull it off. Way more politically effective for them to use/humiliate her than to kill

Liberals mad he did a socialist January 6th or something idk

Got it! Then I completely agree

She was one of the people who got arrested at Columbia for protesting against the Israeli genocide and then ran for office as a socialist openly. I think it’s pretty safe to say she holds these views genuinely

If deleting the posts is the difference between a genuine Marxist-Leninist getting elected into a position of power vs not, then deleting posts is good.

Big online-is-not-real-life moment here. Keeping a shitposting Twitter account is not doing more praxis than like… having a meaningful say in whether your state is able to more effectively facilitate a genocide

All I have to say is that it would be really nice in a time where Israel is such a mainstream issue to point to one person in congress voting to not send them weapons to commit genocide and saying “yes, that one is the socialist”

The most active cadre tend to be far more often Marxist than paper members

She’s not losing that district to a Republican in November let’s be real. This issue matters realistically to almost nobody. People already knew they were voting for somebody at least using the label “socialist”

I get the hesitancy but

In one post, Avila Chevalier described the animated film Anastasia as “an explicitly anti-USSR kid’s movie,” and in another post she linked to she wrote: “Time for me to once again sympathize with the people the Bolsheviks put in the blender for like 90 min 😌.”

I’m sorry AOC was NEVER saying this and saying she prefers to read about Juche instead of Marx lmfao

I love the quote but don’t know exactly what your point is.

Do you mean that communists can rise up through the DSA, or that the communists within DSA might as well call themselves communist, or something else?

Tell me how to implement full communism without making any mistakes

You could very easily avoid all of this confusion while more accurately describing the issue by simply calling them “colonizers”

Alarmed at having to do their cushy ass job for fear they may lose their cushy ass job

It was always critical support, of course

Really bad unforced error, but I think he has learned from it. Since then, he’s addressed other questions and issues like that by refocusing the topic of discussion back to NYC or the working class, which has been decent. Ideally would be nice for him to answer these questions head on like an actual socialist, but understandably he has a job that is a lot easier to do when you’re not burning your political capital on issues like explaining the intricacies of US imperialism

As of now, their move looks like it’s going to be trying to get rent control in its entirety struck down by the courts, or at least fundamentally change how the Rent Guidelines Board functions in order to overrule this

to be fair, Lander divested the city pension fund from israeli bonds during his time as comptroller. On his way out of office, Eric Adams actually signed an executive order that banned the city from divestment from israel (lmao). One of the first things Zohran did when he took office was overturn that executive order. Not enough yet, but you have to start somewhere.
