    You have the nuance of a cinderblock. I’m steel manning the argument: Because even the far right recognize the ascendancy and popularity of Democratic Socialism.

    Like, I don’t actually believe you believe most of the shit you say any more. No one can be both this terminally online and simultaneously this obtuse.

          Headline:

          ‘About a third of U.S. Democrats like political leaders who identify as democratic socialists’

          Or a third of a half of Americans who register as democrat or republican like socialism.

          Now Democrats have 44.4 million registered members so you’re saying 14.8 million Americans out of 350 million like socialism which is like 4.2%.

          Sorry I under estimated it at 3%.

            I mean you can twist yourself into pretzels all you like. But none of that twisting inside your mind changes the world outside of it: That’s the hollowness I’m pointing out.

                I used twisted facts and numbers for my argument demonstrated to be irrelevant and not based in reality worldview and you respond with that?

                ftfy.

                    The fact is that Democratic Socialists have wiped the floor with “centrist” candidates from Palm Beach to Sacramento, and we’re heading into what might the most extreme blue wave election since 1994, possibly ever, precisely because of people like Hasan Piker building up candidates in the primaries and killing centrism in the crib, where it deserves to die and stay dead. Worthless maggots on MSNow or MSNBC are now squealing because you’ve lost control of the narrative. But reality is that you did this to yourself.

                    The idea that candidates should appeal to the “center” handed the country to fascism in 2024. That has now become the collective understanding. Progressivisim/ Democratic socialism is saving the country from fascism.

                    Like you are arguing with yourself buddy, and its pathetic.
