Don't threaten me with a good time.

Why do Republicans insist on making DSA sound so fucking cool?

Even for people that think that they are against democratic socialism, there's no way they read this and think that's a bad thing. This reads like something that's used to promote DSA rather than fear monger. It's out of character for Republicans to slander something so softly without any sort of hate rhetoric or other blasphemy.

Really, who can read this and say, yea, I want the power to stay with the wealthy and not be with the people other than wealthy people? I would have guessed this were satire if I just saw it in passing.

The details are academic unless we can get them in power. One step at a time. We all need to pull together.

"...replace capitalism with democratic socialism..."

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Anyone thinking this is real (“dOnt TheaTeN mE wiTh a gOOd tIMe”, “They’re trying to scaremonger”) is a fucking moron. Republicans are evil and often stupid, but not stupid enough to word an ad like that. They’re well aware that “corporations and wealthy owners” has a negative connotation and “workers and the public” has a positive one. Please be more skeptical.

Well, here's my take: I don't know for 100% sure exactly what the US looks like if all the DSA goals are met. But I know what it looks like now, and I know that at least MOST of what they're proposing sounds pretty damned useful.

If DSA can win, I suspect some of the more fringe stuff might not make it as-is. But the things most people actually support - wealth equality, social safety nets, universal healthcare, livable wages and mayve even universal income..... we can agree on enough basics that I feel confident we can work out the rest.

Tineye only reveals a couple of hits on imagur. This isn't an official image coming from the Republican party, but a mock-up done privately.

If this is real, then its the best advertisement the DSA could have

I know a lot of conservatives because I work at a national company and have to deal with these cucks. But this message would absolutely align with them and make them pro Democratic socialists.

They aren't friends with billionaires. They're complaining about gas prices and food prices like all of us. They are sick of our taxes going to war.

Why is this image stamped by a republican party?

A party is not a unity, it is an amalagamation of people aligned under a set of common goals

The less common goals there area the bigger the tent and the higher probability of those common goals passing, but also a higher probability of group discord as more and more diverse ideas find polarizing and unresolving counterparts within the tent

It is party leadership, and thus the people already within the tent, to carefully determine which goals to propose, because too few or narrow goals and the niche is too small to find majority support, but if the goals are too many or too broad then the group can become too big and rip itself apart like an overblown balloon

So, its a fine balance of making goals wide enough to capture enough to get them acheived, but not so much that it stalls or pops

Its up to the individual to look at a party's goals and their own goals and determine if they can tolerate being under that tent or not .

I think under the current election system, all individual voters are having to tolerate so much to receive so little - i dont know if there is any person who truly feels seen and represented by their state and federal elections - i hope at least a few are in city and county elections

could be better, i think a lot about liquid democracy and consent based voting

Yes

Yes, but message is too stuffy. Just say,

"Billionaires, who are predators, stole the world. They made life terrible for everyone without a private jet and now we want to take it back for all of you, because we are also you."

You threatening me with a good time?

Yes. This is what I want.

The DSA dosent even know what it wants? They’re literally campaigning and endorse capitalist who owns rental rental properties, but won’t endorse actual socialist.

Replace capitalism is misleading tbh

Don't get me wrong I want them to win. I'd rather have them over Republicans or establishment Dems but these guys don't want to get rid of capitalism they just want to regulate it and build a stronger welfare state on top.

It’s pretty clear that they, whom ever that might be, is already trying to split the democratic vote. Stay focused my people.
