@owenjonesjourno @arash_tehran @Etanetan23 It also acts like socialist international was a real organization at that point, it was effectively a shell that kept re-electing George Papandreou since nobody else wanted the job until Sanchez came along and basically forcibly took it over and revived it as an organization.
English
You said the Socialist International was "too sane" for DSA. Do you think an organisation which includes literal dictatorships is defined by "sanity"?
DSA left because it believed many of its member parties pursued austerity, privatisation and general neoliberalism rather than anything approximating socialism, which DSA exists to champion. Were they wrong? Is that really irrational?
I've got no time for the SDP, but why is leaving over the inclusion of dictatorships "the wrong reasons"?
I think the problem with much of your relentless left-bashing is it's just so painfully ill informed

After DSA foolishly left the Socialist International, DSA’s Mayor Mamdani now rightly and proudly embraces it by sending a message to the Barcelona meeting

@chitowngirl1982 @arash_tehran Socialist international for all practical purposes didn’t exist when DSA left it. Pedro Sanchez brought it back and effectively puppets the organization.
English
@arash_tehran Of course the DSA left because SI is decidedly anti-tankie.

@arash_tehran @Etanetan23 When DSA left Socialist International, the organization became effectively a shell. My fellow Minnesotan-born George Papandreou led it for 16 years — because nobody else wanted the job — until Pedro revived it as a prestige vehicle 5 years after DSA left it.

@escargotpro_ @arash_tehran @mapgamemullah I gotta keep things vague since you know wasn’t given permission, but I knew like a half dozen of the named speaker or at least their teams, and this is not some profound move. Half of them still went on to meet with left of the psoe folks afterwards in unofficial meetings.
English
@escargotpro_ @arash_tehran @mapgamemullah I mean, PT and PSOL were both at the DSA convention (and they spent half the time complaining about Pentecostals, which was fun to talk with them about lmao). PT was also at the event here. all these parties still have a great relationship with PI.

Arash, this isn’t some profound signal that Zohran is unhappy with DSA’s affiliation with Progressive International, a friend of a friend likely asked him to send a video and he said yes. He’s also met with plenty of people further to the left.

@escargotpro_ @arash_tehran @mapgamemullah Also, like, he’s framing it as some profound act when he probably just got asked via a friend of a friend to send a video. This is not some profound move by Zohran to signal he is unhappy with the progressive international affiliation lmao.
English
@arash_tehran @mapgamemullah I mean i think Sanchez as a person and PSOE ever since they formed the alliance with Podemos to form government in 2019 are progressively more what youd think PSOE would be than past incarnations its not exactly static

A direita dos Estados Unidos peida e a direita portuguesa fica na praia 5 a 10 anos ansiosamente a aguardar que os ventos do atlântico levem o cheirinho diretamente para as suas narinas
Ana Miguel Pedro@anampedro
O Parlamento Português chumba a designação ANTIFA como organização terrorista. Mal. O ANTIFA representa violência política, radicalismo extremista e intimidação. Um Estado de direito não se limita a condenar em abstracto e tem de saber qualificar juridicamente aquilo que ameaça a ordem democrática. Votos a favor: Chega e CDS Abstenção: IL Votos contra: PSD, PS, BE, PCP, L e PAN Muito bem o @_CDSPP

Also since this is a Republican pollster, I suspect there is a reason they are doing under 50 vs under 30 for republicans.
English
Probably has something to do with the fact that China at least signals a commitment to progress for younger generations, while Israel represents everything that current politicians don't give a fuck about when it comes to young people.
Patrick Ruffini@PatrickRuffini
In fact, Democrats under 50 view Israel less favorably than they do Iran. echeloninsights.substack.com/p/friday-findi…

this piece has gone viral: in the uk, 35% of men aged 20-35 still live with their parents
in spain the situation is much worse. even after excluding students, over 50% of men (and around 40% of women) aged 25-34 are still living with their parents (!)

“There’s no peace in the Middle East bc Palestinians refuse to believe in the Torah. The Torah says it’s our [Jews] land. And that’s why America must always stand with Israel.” Wow. He just came right out and said it.

Remember in the Louis Theroux documentary when all the extremely violent misogynistic claimed they didn't hate women they actually love women?
The NS data is bad and clearly produced to generate this kind of reaction for reactionaries desperate to view women as unreasonable
David 🇺🇦🇵🇸@discordspies
“Young men hate women and blame them for their problems” when looking at the graph that says only 7% of young men have an unfavourable view of women is peak delusion.

Bernie Sanders ran on better things are possible and liberals will never forgive him for it.

Sorry bro; Bernie didn’t win a single county in the rust belt or the Deep South. Working class voters didn’t like what he was selling 🤷🏾♂️
