Rhode Island Democratic Socialists of America

Wasn’t going to chime in on this, but some of the takes here are absolutely ridiculous. Gustavo is an individual, who is allowed to support whomever he wants even when they are not DSA endorsed. Just as Zohran is allowed to endorse Brad Lander without DSA endorsement, yet no one was calling for disciplining him in that moment (and rightly so). This does not undermine the democracy of DSA as it is not an organizational endorsement but a personal one. Further, DSA must realize that as long as it continues to platform and institutionalize its sectarian and abstentionist tendencies, it will force its members (as well as the masses more broadly) to seek other means to do socialism. It is not an individual’s fault that they must go outside DSA in order to do socialism, it’s OUR accountability as an organization to make sure that the path of socialism is 1:1 with the objectives and MO of DSA, and anything less will create reasons to engage other means of organizing to fill that void. We must fill the void left by marginal abstentionism with institutionalized mass politics in DSA or the socialist pole in this country will go on without us.

RI DSA leader Jordan Garcés openly declared: "We're here to overthrow the entire capitalist state." This isn't about reform. It's about revolution. And let's be honest, the so called "mainstream" Democrats aren't very different in the direction they're taking the country. They may use softer language, but they continue pushing for bigger government, higher taxes, more regulation, and policies that expand government power while limiting individual freedom. It's not theoretical. It's here, and it's happening now. What started with the BLM riots, followed by cancel culture and DEI mandates, has steadily moved the political conversation further left. Now the most radical voices are becoming some of the loudest voices in the Democratic Party, and too many elected officials are willing to accommodate or embrace them rather than push back. The radicals are saying the quiet part out loud. Too often, the establishment votes in the same direction. Rhode Island deserves leaders who will defend freedom, opportunity, the Constitution, and the American Dream, not leaders who tolerate or enable an ideology that seeks to undermine those principles. Rhode Island First. America First. No to DSA extremism. Semper Fi, Vic Mellor 🇺🇸

It’s 2026. You’re talking about a small online debate from 2020 with a guest who just wants to talk about the U.S. role in the genocide of communists in Indonesia, or the current DSA-backed effort to win the mayor’s race in Providence. It comes off as bizarre. Every 2 years, for hundreds of years, members of Congress try to extract concessions from speaker candidates in exchange for their votes. It would be far more productive to talk about the opportunity coming up in late 2026/early 2027 than to keep talking about this one from 6 years ago.

There is something worse than Trump’s two presidencies and that is learning nothing from them and allowing this vicious cycle to continue where we are ruled by 2 parties that serve billionaires and betray workers. The only path forward is to fight for a working class alternative.

BREAKING: Starbucks baristas at the University Heights store in Providence, RI just won their union!!! Congratulations! (this cat is not part of the bargaining unit but told local reporters all union-busters deserve hair balls in their shoes)

Yanis Varoufakis is baffled as to why Hasan Piker would even try to help the Democrat Party
