The DSA, including AOC and Bernie to a (far) lesser extent, are becoming the caricature that fox news pretended democrats were. They endorsed not voting in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Mamdani is doing some great stuff, but endorsing some almost ML/tankie people who don’t support Ukraine and essentially think the US could never and has never done any good ever.
Then they hide behind “guys we just want healthcare and workers rights” whenever they’re criticized, which is just co-opting democrat messaging so they can shield themselves behind democrats and pretend their positions aren’t so extreme.
Stated that the US had a hand in the Ukraine invasion by “bullying” Russia, a foreign adversary who was likely instrumental in Trump being the president right now. Actual Russian apoligia is legitimately insane. Also supports abolishing prisons, rather than just making them not for-profit and punitive rather than reformist.
In a 2026 interview, she said she believed Ukraine was a victim of Russia’s violation of its sovereignty, and that diplomacy with Russia should be pursued.
True we haven’t pursued diplomacy with russia we just sent weapons to Ukraine and didn’t say a word to Russia. It’s just absolutely ludicrous and the interviewer himself points it out, and she just essentially says :3 well not enough diplomacy!
To my original point, she is either minimizing the threat Russia poses, or is just extremely misinformed which I suppose you could argue. Her words imply we didn’t try diplomacy, and if we had it could’ve avoided any conflict. This paints Russia as the invader but still a reasonable one that can be talked down.
Juxtapositing her language next to Bernie’s, “I fully support Ukraine in this immoral and unjustified invasion of Ukraine by a despotic ruler in Putin” compared to “I don’t think this can be called anything but an invasion of Ukraine. Russia violated Ukraine’s sovereignty. We need to pursue diplomacy in these situations.” One is clear cut this is a foreign adversary, the other implies we could talk to Putin (and we haven’t been) and reach peace. If it were just this comment, I would have no inclination to believe she was an ML type, but her comments about “bullying Russia” and with no other negative comments about Russia or Putin push it further towards apologia.

A very good point that differs from your previous.
Goal-post moved and scored.

The dsa? They explicitly suggested not voting for Biden. I can give you an interview of the current DSA leadership saying as much.
hes getting his news from faux.
well you should not use faux news as your source of opinions, because you are basing your comment on what fox news aired that day.
