alt Hacker News> which ironically brought upon the identity politics of the right
Identity politics was on the right all along. They are not reaction to the left.
Woke 1 correctly identified what right and conaervatives are. And they then lashed to the threat. But, most of what woke 1 said was exactly correct assement of situation and people.
It is just that "center" was determined to pretend far right threat dont exist. And somehow whole conservative organizations dedicated to bullying were less of threat than some students protesting.
> DSA is actually focused on kitchen table issues such as grocery and health insurance cost
Democrats focused on that and lost to identity politics, shaming and hate from right. If DSA wants to win, they must not do the same mistake.
Focusing on those kitchen issues means loosing again. And it means being tepid enablers to far right like centrists and democratic establishement are. It lost.
Appreciate your comment and opinion, I can't say I agree but I really do respect the honesty and where you are coming from!
I'm not sure who is the next DSA candidate versus the Democratic establishment or Republican candidate (e.g., Francesca Hong v. Dave Crowley, or Abu Sayed v. Mike Rogers). But I encourage you to go to the "machine" (Polymarket, Kalshi) to take position and express your opinion!
