i really hope charlie and erika kirk's children come out as lgbtq and starts a leftist equivalent to turning point usa.

in fact, is there a leftist equivalent to turning point usa?

[–] frisbird@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

Given that the US went through 2 wholesale leftist purges in its history and zero rightist purges, I would say that looking for an existing equivalent of any rightist phenomenon is asking a lot.

a leftist equivalent to turning point usa

If there is, I hope they call it "Just Keep Going Global"

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 6 points 18 hours ago

the name would probably be something along the lines of "the path forward"

I have seen smaller ones, but it doesn’t really matter if they don’t have the virility of Turning Point.

Part of Turning Point’s whole pitch is to counter overwhelming β€œleftist” voices in universities and such. There can’t really be an equivalent to that unless US colleges get mega right wing.

The "un fuck America tour" which imploded earlier this year was an attempt at directly combatting TPUsa from the left

i was thinking of the democratic socialists of america and other socialist/communist organizations - oh and donations from supporters. it worked for the progressive news channel freespeechtv. seriously!

Sure, not saying it's impossible to secure funding. Just saying that it would pale in comparison to what billionaires are able to throw at organizations like TPUSA and you can't expect it to be at the same level or grow nearly as rapidly as a result.
