The thing is that Democratic Socialism is not seen favorably by a lot of leftists, as they’re seen as being more loyal to the establishment than to revolution. Too leftist for the American Overton window, but not leftist enough for Lemmygrad types, basically
That’s funny. My experience with lemmy is it’s overwhelmingly leftist. Any anything that doesn’t reinforce their worldview is heavily downvoted.

I don’t know that it’s too leftist for me - just a lot of the personalities are too much for me - i can’t listen to anymore Bernie-would’ve-won and Hillary’s-a-war-criminal 8 years later.

I also think Hillary would’ve been a great president for real, so no one likes me either.
A lot of people think Biden is a great president, which shows you just how low the bar is these days. FDR had a literal plot on his life and still had the balls to rule as a socialist, and he was so popular he ended up the longest-serving president in US history.

We don’t rule in the US, we govern with the consent of the people.
But yes, FDR was the tits. And a native New Yorker.

The only things I’ve seen that are exclusively non-leftist is the conservative Lemmy that thinks Fox News and Newsmax is a credible source of information
