re: Dems Say Stick With DSA Candidates for the Greater Good

Why'd you pick one that started in 2020?

Eliminate the U.S. Senate
• Abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
• Replace the presidency and Supreme Court
• Abolish the police and empty the prisons
• Eliminate rent payments
• Establish government-run grocery stores
• Take over the means of production
• Rewrite the Constitution
• Open the borders

Don't forget Thanksgiving and Christmas are the holidays of imperial overlords and they must be eliminated due to being offensive to the native Snufalufagus Tribe.

One of the most logically inconsistent things about Dems is that they claim to be the pro-women party while supporting a religion that is absolutely awful for women even in some of the more moderate sects

It's the most disappointing term for a president in a very long time

Wrong, Trump is only tangentially involved in this.

Over the decades the DNC has built the party's platform on the personality politics of "the noble victim." For decades that was centered primarily around blacks and supporting them in fighting back against racism (whether specific events were real, perceived or faked).

As we moved into the 2000s and the black community started accumulating wealth, the party found itself needing to reach further into its fringes to find vigorous and active supporters to give visual energy for their platforms. This meant turning slightly from the black community to that of hispanics (due to the explosion of illegal immigration from Central and South American countries) as well as the gay community.

Their greatest expansion success came from the gay community so they pushed deeper into that fringe to the point where their stance went from "they just want to be married" to the LARP of tranny-ism.

As they've moved deeper into their fringe, the loudest and most vigorous voices in their party increasingly became fringe as well. As that shift occurred, it turned off (and away) an increasing number of Democratic voter (whether that be their voting another party, not voting at all, leaving the party altogether, etc). Also, as you move deeper into the fringe, the more psychotic members of those fringier groups are likely to be.

And this is where Trump comes in. Trump is a polarizing figure so that polarization (TDS) fed into the psychosis of those fringe members, in a strange way it gave them an internal justification for their hardline stance on whatever their core issue is (this has been fed, of course, by Leftist rhetoric). This has led to a phenomenon where the more successful Trump is (AND the more failures Trump has), the more the psychotics use that as justification for their extreme actions. In other words, Trump has become an important driver, but didn't originate it and is not the primary driver.

So, in a way, it could be viewed that the growth of the DSA's influence within the Democratic Party is due to the popularity and/or success of Trump as the party tries desperately to remain in power.
