    lol the dsa puts out a very both sides-y statement and there are STILL people in my local chapter going "there's too much Putin apologism in this."

    also

    "i agree with the criticisms of nato, but it seems a little tone-deaf at the moment"

    MOTHERFUCKER THEN WHEN SHOULD CRITICIZE NATO??

      yep, criticizing US or NATO means you like Putin. People are fucking morons, all the radlibs are libs again.

        feels like most people who were pushed left since 2016, and especially since 2020, have fallen right back in line again

          No, they're exactly where they were after being "pushed left", which largely means they understand that the average person gets a raw deal and that social spending should be increased.

          Their interest in anti-imperialism is just a vague notion that military spending is too big because it cuts into social spending.

          We must radicalize the DSA libs. They're not allies yet
