One of the parties is rapidly moving closer to your position on the issue most important to you, and the other one isn’t. They aren’t the same.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

The issue most important to me is the establishment of socialism, but setting that aside, you're missing the point. This doesn't represent rapid movement, it represents a rhetorical shift from a party that needs to sort of pretend to care what any of its supporters think to reduce the extent that they are hemorrhaging support. It is unlikely that the dems will actually "change their position on Israel" to something half-unconscionable until Israel's condition has decayed so rapidly that the old position is irrelevant, which doesn't actually represent a change in position because they would still support Israel if it was still viable.

It's moving closer to our position because we (communists) are taking it over and replacing them. Not because they are moving left. They would not be moving anywhere without the leverage that is being generated.

Taking it over by running as Democrats, yes.

I’m not though. And most people who aren’t don’t share your worldview. Why do you think that is?

You don’t understand it? Need it diagramed?

Weren't you just mocking someone else in this comment chain for resorting to personal attacks? Shame on you, nice principles you've got there

You think your whiteness makes you intelligent?

You’re the one making weird racial comments on lemmy. Seek help.

I'm glad you've come in here acting like you know more than everyone and this is all your gigantic fucking brain could come up with

You’re making up fights in your head. You’re not well.

I’m not though.
