Primaries are for selecting who’s going to stand in the election.
Theoretically, anyone in the party can vote in the primary (in most states) but normally, it’s nerds and diehards that vote. Americans don’t get time off to vote, and have been getting “your vote doesn’t matter” propaganda for most of their lives.
America has a 2 party system. The far right party are the democrats, the fascist kill everyone if it makes a dollar party are the republicans. The democrat socialists of America are a center right offshoot of the democrat party that are branded by the 2 main parties as the radical left.
Calling dsa center right is a fucking insane take
Welcome to Lemmy lol
What policies are they promoting that aren’t well established by countries in Europe that have been ruled by conservatives for the majority of time?
are they capitalists?
No. Social democrats like regulated capitalism. Democratic socialists want socialism.
They’re not advocating for seizing the means of production, or putting billionaires against the wall. “Please sirs lube up before fisting my asshole” is at best center. I’d say forced profit sharing is the bare minimum to be considered center left. In most countries free Healthcare, affordable school, and unions are expectations, not looney lefty ideals.
To be clear, I’m pro DSA. They’re our best option.
I’m going to give the grace that it’s a typo.
