No they are not, forget the right I'm talking real dem's have zero love for the DSA.
Who do you consider “real Dems”?
Not the DSA
Ok, but you're claiming voters are not warming up to socialists. How do you explain the recent uptick in Dem Socialists being voted in?
In what like a few cities and the people are already regretting it. Any DSA governors? Just because they win a dem primary doesn't mean a thing until the get past the general.
Not yet.
We'll see. Spouting off "we'll seize the means of production" isn't helping and anyone that took HS history knows how well that went.
And anyone who went past high school understands more nuance. And spelling. Neither of which you seem to be capable of. Sit down and let the adults talk.
Ad Hominem, when you can't defend your stance. So make it personal or about autocorrect. You are a credit to your party.
Fallacy fallacy. Using a fallacy or other invalid reasoning does not prove that the initial assertion was incorrect.
Right back at ya.
Out of curiosity, how well is it going for you having not seized the means of production?

End goal, like someone said about him failing to pay for child care and free transit he has only been a mayor for 8 months...
You misunderstood their question.
How well is it going for you, as a capitalist, having not seized the means of production?
I don’t think they misunderstood. Refusing to engage with a question is a common tactic when you have nothing of substance to say.
Edit: spelling
Fair, I just enjoy calling out their idiocy when they want to play dumb haha
so if you exclude everyone who likes the dsa, nobody likes the dsa. you're very smart
if you’re talking about the politicians, you’re probably right. if you’re talking about the voters, you couldn’t be more wrong.

I remember the pole for Hong being up 20 points and that was BS, she lost. Cherry picked stats doesn't make it so.
A couple of things. First, it's poll. If you can't get something as basic as that right, people won't take you seriously.
Second, it wasn't Hong that "cherry picked" polls. It was a polling company that didn't show their methodology and then claimed that they were actually running a social experiment. Something you would know if you were a serious person.
Poll*
She lost by 3k votes. What are you talking about?!?
First of all, who cares about a single POLL regarding a single candidate? I guess if you live there it could be important to you personally, but folks are looking at national trends and you keep being all.. Nope, can't be, did you see the results of this one POLL in this one place at this one time?
So how do you know that it could only have been the DSA affiliation (that ain't even obvious from looking at just her name) that cost her the election rather than sexism or racism? Or a combination of factors mostly relating to specific policies she or her opponents ran on? Or money? Like, what data are you drawing that conclusion from?
It is data, right?
That single poll was on every MSM news show as the fact. Shows how gullible they are... Fact check, naw someone wrote it down it must be true. Like Hillary was 90% likely to win lol
Gee, I wonder what motivations the MSM might have here….
I wondering what was wrong with you, but you watch every MSM news show. That shit'll rot your brain, kid.
(but also, I don't believe you.. however if you have links to just 3 clips of MSM news shows treating this single POLL as fact I'd be willing to reconsider)
