Could democratic socialism become the brand of a new generation of political actors — not just on the fringe, not just in New York City, but across the country?

    I’m asking what does that look like to you? Voting? Protesting in the streets and/or at the capitol buildings? Armed revolution?

    First step is “propaganda” (I don’t like the word but can’t offer another one).

    Then protests and voting. (None will be available solutions if citizens are not concerned first).

    But I don’t want the current majorities to be in charge of that. We would just end up with a fully Christo-fascist Constitution given the makeup of the delegations.

    A new constitution in the current case needs a referendum to minimize risks. I totally agree with the christo-fascist risk if lead by the current gvt.

    My belief, as stated in other comment in this thread, is that we have to have 3rd party and independent candidates run in the major-party primaries

    I think this is a short term way out (a good one) but won’t solve the systemic issue caused by the constitution.

    We’re seeing it work more and more for DSA-aligned candidates, so hopefully we can keep building on that momentum and finally get some real change.

    Totally agree with that.
