A few things that are accessible within the USA include:
- Participating in mutual aid programs
- Campaigning on the local level, including for positions like poll watchers
- Making your voice heard in community events in general
- Joining your local DSA, networking
Being progressive for a liberal is not being a leftist, ie a Socialist. Biden has done very little to move that bar.
not being a socialist is typically a good thing …
Being a Socialist is the bare minimum if you’re a leftist, like a somewhat significant portion of Americans, and most people on Lemmy I believe.
This post is directed at leftists, so it makes sense that people are unhappy with Biden from the perspective of a leftist.
if a significant portion of americans were leftist, the democratic socialists of america would be way bigger.
the fact that biden has been one of the most pro worker, progressive presidents in recent history should be reason enough to vote for him
Oof, that’s a lot of straight up garbage, no offense.
The DSA isn’t the only leftist organization, and it’s still large enough to have an impact on congress.
Biden being the most pro-worker president for a liberal isn’t saying anything at all. Liberalism is inherently anti-worker, just not nearly as bad as fascism. Occasionally tossing workers a bone does not make Biden pro-worker overall.
The fact that leftists aren’t satisfied with tepid liberal policies that still continue to entrench Capitalists does not make them right-wing trolls. Socialism is absolutely not horseshoe theory either, on the left end you have worker power and ownership of the Means of Production, and on the right end you have Capitalist ownership of the Means of Production.
This is the point I take most issue with, it’s clear that you personally are a liberal, which is fine for you, but you’re making absolutely terrible cases for why leftists should join you on the right and just be satisfied with the continued right wing status quo. If you want to convince leftists to hop over, the solution is certainly not to call everyone to the left of you a right wing troll.
