      Oh yeah, throw “culture wars” back at them, their viewers are gonna get vertigo. Some are gonna start asking uncomfortable questions.

      This is the Zohran playbook, and it’s what every single DSA should be doing. (And yeah, I know AES doesn’t call himself one, but he’s one policy-wise for the most part.)

      If Hong had answered the stupid questions about her tweets and her half-white son in this way, she’d have won. Her choice was to pretend it’s 2014 and people still give a shit about virtue signalling more than being able to feed their families.

      Keep it laser-focused on affordability.

        If she said “Trump is cancelling Thanksgiving for many families because his war in Iran is driving up grocery costs” it would have been a slam dunk.

        Not just affordability at all. There are more issues than you can shake a stick at. Any area where the powerful are allowed to assfuck the less powerful without their consent. Pardon my french.

          “It’s fucking insane that you assholes are more worried about whether some trans girl can play badminton than you are about the naked grift our pedophile president engages in at every opportunity.”

      This is exactly what I needed to see from El-Sayed.

      Too frequently I see DSA types only attacking establishment Dems, and while I recognize the strategy worked for MAGA - we need better than just striking at the Dems.

      I haven’t watched the interview but I hope he made this smug prick eat his words.
