There’s MY president. If I hadn’t voted for De La Cruz, I’d have gladly written her in (as I did in 2020). She’s easily the only politician in Congress that has my full throated support.

She's a DSA member and is endorsed by Detroit's DSA chapter, which only endorses candidates that support:

  • A “Green New Deal,” e.g., rapid decarbonization of the economy, a federal jobs guarantee, a just transition;
  • Increased Income and Wealth Taxes on the Ultra Wealthy;
  • Healthcare as a Right ( i.e. , Medicare for All or state-level single payer proposal);
  • Reproductive Rights;
  • Enhancing Labor Rights ($15/Hour Minimum Wage, Card Check, Ending Right to Work, etc.);
  • Education as a Right ( e.g, , strengthening public schools, pulling the plug on charter school proliferation, free or public colleges);
  • Suitable Housing as a Right;
  • Clean Water as a Right ( e.g. , ending municipal water shut offs, ending privatization of fresh water);
  • Student Debt Relief/Forgiveness;
  • Comprehensive Immigration Reform, e.g. , a path to citizenship for all, abolishment of ICE;
  • Abolishment of the Death Penalty;
  • Abolishment of Private Prisons and an end to mass incarceration;
  • Rejection of Corporate Donations/Super PAC Money;
  • Ending Wars, U.S. Military Intervention, and Nation-Building;
  • Paid Vacation Time, Sick Time, Family Leave, and Childcare;
  • No Selling Arms to Human-Rights Violators;
  • Extensive Police Reforms ( e.g. , special prosecutors to hold police accountable);
  • End the War on Drugs ( e.g. , amnesty for prisoners held on possession charges);
  • Justice and national freedom for Palestinians.

Oh yeah. I've always thought that Tlaib is the best of the squad members, personally.

Socialism

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
