It's fine to muse about stuff like this online. In theory, the senate serves to shield the government from tidal shifts that happen too fast. Obviously, they are not doing their job now. But to put this as a main core tenet of your platforms is bat shit insane. The average American that is struggling to put food on the table doesn't have the mental load to evaluate these things and just looks at it and goes "what the fuck are you all on??!" and votes red. Goddam Subaru socialists out of touch with reality

I can tell when people are Subaru socialists when they say stupid insane shit like "abolish the police is good policy". That is so insane and out of touch with reality I don't even know where to begin. It's fine to muse about the police state and Marxist leninist theory online, but this is how we get stupid shit like a Vance term

Abolishing the police for one. Abolishing the senate. These are bizarre platform positions

No, don't you see, he hasn't yet seized the means of production, so he's an establishment democrat paid opposition. Vivre la revolucion!

I don't claim to be the fountain of wisdom or savvy in terms of political theory. But I do recognize how asinine the discourse can be here. It's clear no socialist on Lemmy is invested in this ideology enough with regards to executing actionable change.

Because political discourse on this platform is deeply unserious. Calling Mamdani centrist is bizarre. It's clear that to you and the members of certain instances everything that is not the complete people's ownership of the means of production constitutes a "centrist". There is absolutely no nuance and it's quite silly. Calling the guy that is running government run grocery stores "centrist" because he hasn't yet nationalized all private entities is really endemic of how this platform is unwilling to move the coalition forward because it is not interested in achieving the goals of socialism; it is only interested in idealizing it through abstract terms but never ever should we dare contend with the real world and how these ideas get implemented.

Yea, it's very comfortable shouting this from the bluest state in the country lol. NYC is not Iowa or Maine
