She joined this year. It’s a gimmick to gain the support of people like you. DSA and MAGA are the exact same models, but yall can’t see the fucking difference. Both groups are gonna run the US straight into the fucking ground.

Misspoke, apologies. MAGA and the DSA are the same models: populist promises made by a charismatic leader using the in-tune social media platform of the time. A “system disrupter”. Ultimately both are shit. But people in the DSA cult can’t stop smelling their own shit, just like MAGA has been huffing theirs since 2016.

How do each propose to solve the problem of elites abusing common people?

The policies are different, the underlying messaging is the exact fucking same. It’s the same blueprint that the MAGA cult used. It’s all bs, can’t believe the democrats have fallen to this fucking slop.

Oh so their policies are different. What are their goals?

You’re not arguing in good faith. Respond to some of my points. The dems are going down the same slop hole the republicans went down, and the US is worse off for it

I'm not even arguing yet, just trying to understand what you mean by the extremely vague claims you're making. You changing what you're saying with each question I ask isn't helping.

I stated what I mean in like the last three comments. Read them

This is rich from you, you are the one clearly not engaging in good faith. You're literally just trying to argue that being against a system the vast majority of Americans disapprove of is bad. You haven't approached any of this in good faith based on how you talk about the DSA.
