>>2899273every leftist space has really be harping on her quip about being a capitalist
which is funny because that quip is being played on the news a lot here, locally, because every attack add is attacking her for being a socialist, so they play that clip and talk about her book store. Socialism is a dirty word here in Florida, especially if you're trying to win a longshot election.
If socialism is what you do, and not just your rhetoric, then Angie is incredibly socialist, former union organizer, staunch anti-imperalist who's clearly politically savvy while maintaining her morals.
There's also the racist angle that no one wants to admit but is absolutely there. Her rallies? Mostly black. Her base? Black working class. Who does the DSA lack? That demographic. Instead of seeing this as a chance to coalition build and get that group on our team, a lot of white leftists are going to be that much harsher with their judgement. Someone like AOC has basically done nothing in comparsion to the real material support Nixon has done for Palestine. She was raising money for Gaza with Riasb literally a week before the primary. AOC gets the benefit of the doubt from the same spaces that are consistently attacking Nixon.
>but it's just electoralism it's a waste of timeif the momentum of this allows me and hundreds of other activated organizers in this state to door knock and talk to the disenfranchised directly about what a socialist america would look like, then it's worth the trouble.
cannot stress how repressive things are in florida, I mean I've got my case and the police absolutely target organizers! Straight up this campaign is needed to give everyone something to align on that we can win. I've been writing a proposal for my DSA chapter to provide real material support for her, from door knocking to phone banking.
>but but she called herself a capitalistyeah she runs a book store, that's a small business brother she is a capitalist and she was also a union organizer so I can assure you that she knows her class position, but we all have to operate under capitalism! where are you meeting up to discuss praxis if not the radical bookstore? just seems like a non issue.
>but but she's just a democratpeople like her will force the zionist centrist dems to break the DSA off the Dem party, the DSA will not be the one to do the dirty break, that's why she and the DNC chair got into a yelling match because she's not getting cucked like Bernie
>but but she condemned hamas on tv after the primaryokay, those are w o r d s, and her actions speak louder than those words. politicians lie all the time, why can't our people lie? fuck that honest abe shit, play to win.
Anyone who is against Israel and supports a free palestine is worth my support. The genocide must end.
