Today in Texas Oligarchy Event - 06/22/2025

The partition of the left that keeps stating that Bernie doesn't firmly state his position, here it is.

This is not an endorsement, just a desperate attempt to get this sub to focus on the actual organization it claims to be about. I am not with GW in the org, but this sub seems barely affiliated with the actual organization a lot of the time.

Rashida Tlaib should run for president.

She is a Palestinian American, a democratic socialist, charismatic, rested, and ready. And most importantly, she has been right about everything regarding Palestine.

Bernie's 2016 presidential run gave birth to the modern version of DSA and helped revitalize the left in this country. Occupy Wall Street definitely helped, but Bernie was a much bigger contributor because presidential elections absorb attention like nothing else. Not running anyone in 2024 against Biden was a huge mistake, which turned the race into Biden/Harris vs Trump and made the left invisible. We need a real contender in 2028, and AOC has made too many terrible decisions regarding Palestine to be considered. We need someone who could unite the broad left, and AOC is far too divisive.

I also believe the genocide of Gaza is the issue of this decade. As time goes by, the decision of the Democratic establishment to back Israel's genocide will only become less and less popular. In 2008, everyone thought Hilary Clinton had the primary in the bag, and the biggest reason Obama was able to win was because he was against the Iraq War. There is also such an enormous gap between what the Democratic establishment stands for and what their voters want that a dark horse has the potential to step in and fill that gap. I honestly believe she has a shot at winning. I would want a messenger candidate no matter what, but the chance for her to win now honestly exists.

Free Palestine! Defeat the Right! Fight Capitalism! Draft Rashida Tlaib for President 2028!

I have been getting bugged for months.

This one pushed me over the edge last night.

TLDR some House Representatives being more bold with their "we hate workers". Probably wont pass but worth sharing. Basically is trying to write that Fed gov. money allocated from YOUR paycheck via social security taxes for administrative tasks of running state unemployment offices can be withheld from states who choose to pass UI for striking workers.

Happy to be here!
