      Feb 19, 2025In 2025 the state of American education is more precarious than ever. Many public schools, especially those in underfunded urban and rural areas, are failing their students.

The Markers of Failure Failing schools are characterized by a combination of low test scores ...

    THE NATIONAL POLITICAL COMMITTEE DSA’s primary political leadership is the National Political Committee (NPC), a twenty-five-person body which functions as the board of directors of DSA and is elected

    These two are the highest ranking members of the DSA national committee.

    As I watch interviews of this committee I will post them in this thread.

    Remember these people will be in charge of all means of essential production.

    Well, not quite.

    United Federation of Planets is from Star Trek.

    The other flag is from a cartoon called One Piece....similar to Pokémon.

    But yes, the guy is formerly a climate activist.

  • I stumbled across this interview where the man suggests grad employees and professors from Columbia University and the University of Michigan are major influencers in this "movement". Hmmm. It's at the 23:00 minute mark, but the whole interview is interesting.

    I watched the interview with Megan. You gotta hand it to her that she more often than not directly answers questions, which is refreshing after seeing so many politicians dance around questions without giving a direct answer.

    Nonetheless, l can’t see this utopian world she describes without cops and prisons, and how all the problems in the world can be accomplished with social workers. It sounds nice, but l don’t think it’s practical.

    I also don’t think the average person wants the added responsibility of having a say in the means of production.

    They'll tell you exactly what they want, but they seem oblivious to how stupid they sound. "We'll tear it all down and the committee will vote later on how it will be rebuilt" is child's play.

    The way they speak as if everything will shift slowly over time from capitalism to socialism, it's as if they believe there will never be another election after they gain control.....

    Her statement about sending an army of diplomats to settle the Russia/Ukraine war was particularly “come on now…”

    I don’t know who vibes with messages like this, but l suspect it’s younger people who aren’t optimistic about their prospects in the world. I already said that though, so l think all any of us can do is watch how it plays out and dig in to the numbers if the DSA starts pulling a respectable amount of support.

    There’s not a whole lot of DSA politicians at the federal level as of now. AOC and Rashida Talib is basically the whole list.

    I would prefer to keep reminding people of how dumb this is, everyday if need be, before it becomes a problem.

    I hoped young people would read up on global economics before they go full "Lord of the Flies", but here we are.

  • There are a bunch, however relatively small, that FEEL that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

    But let them learn history of socialism-->communism, and that would change.

    It's kinda like they grew up in the city, and FEEL that the grass is imperfect in Louisiana and there are mosquitoes, etc, and they FEEL that if they

    could just get everyone to jump the high fence, everything would be far better, far more wonderful, and free stuff would fall like rain drops.

    Then, they jump the high fence, and land in 8' of swamp water, quick sand, alligators and cotton mouth snakes.

    But then, it's too late. "Tear it all down, build utopia" sounds like a Star Trek show.

    BTW, years ago, we mentioned that the dem party was just starting to lean socialist in some of their policies, and it was laughed at.

    Not a funny matter anymore.

    Yeah it went from a few socialist policies to full blown socialism pretty quickly.

    People who claimed to be centrist around here certainly never were.

    Generally I agree.

    His only glitch was he had a difficult time making an argument without invoking religon. That was his brand and I get it, but he couldn't reach people far beyond the faith.

    That doesn't take away anything from him because he was true to form and as advertised.

    For sure, you can't speak to everyone. I did see him leave religion out a lot when asked though. I'd say he greatly turned the tide in college campuses.

    I think this is why the media pushes the "big tent" narrative. Certainly there are people in the DSA that have different agendas, but the most organized and likely heirs to this party will come from the Linda Sarsour wing.
