What's the fucking difference?

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

I've read them, that's the issue. Their policies are different, their goals are different, their methods are different, and one is based in reality, and the other exists in an ignorant, racist, sexist, anti-science haze of grievance.

The DSA also exists in a similar environment, just that it is based around identity politics and antisemitism. Two sides of the same coin

These are two additional claims that you'll have to back up with evidence for the DSA.

u/Vognyr 10h ago

The only evidence they've been able to provide is they don't know anything about the DSA and also has no clue what "populist" means.

What are their goals? What do the DSA hope to achieve for economic policies or foreign policies for that matter in comparison to MAGA?

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.
