I dont know if I'm just drinking the conspiracy coolaid but after every major DSA win every vaguely left-wing socialist space is flooded with "they arent socialists just reformists" comments. People arguing that because Mamdani isnt actively calling for the overthrow of capitalism that he's just a social democrat who just wants to reform capitalism. As if a politician cant run on a platform, while their personal political views might be different. Or that any of the positions the DSA is winning would be capable of overturning capitalism.

It almost feels like astroturfing intended to create infighting but I am fully willing to admit I might just be going insane. Am I crazy or have other people noticed this as well?

10 points - And it's 100% correct. Like, these candidates ARE reformists, what else could they be? That's what really baffles me here. That's FINE too, be a reformist! I don't care! Every failed reformist is just another rung on the ladder that leads to a real working class party. It's funny to me that some of these reformists will quote Lenin to justify their strategy, I guess the DSA are all Leninists now! (don't laugh!) Meanwhile, as a Leninist I say let them win, may 1000 DSA victory's be in our future, because that's 1000 more rungs on the ladder to the independent working class party.
