How did that takeover happen? Who actually voted in that election and why did they vote for this? Is it really the case that the majority of Nevada Democrats support DSA? It seems hard to believe.

They sneak in with these low turnout races with all kinds of populist promises

The majority of NV Democrats are not on board with this. They're planning on carrying on as the Dem party as their own grassroots party.. That's why they took the money they had raised & told the new DSA people to raise their own money, which they weren't happy about.

As socialists, they thought they were entitled to money that other people had worked hard for. So don't donate to the NV Dem (DSA) party; donate to the real Democratic candidates. They'll need the help because they're running against GOP & DSA.

DSA hates Democrats & campaigns against them but wants everyone to think they're now the Dem party. THEY'RE NOT! This new NV DSA party is calling for unity. YEAH RIGHT! You know they're going to run someone against @SenCortezMasto who's up for reelection in 2022.
— Nancy Pelosi is a Legend (@pollyollydoodle) March 12, 2021

If you can, donate to @CatherineForNV for her reelection as NV senator. DO NOT DONATE to the Nevada Democratic party. They're not Democrats.

That sucks. Low turnout elections are also the easiest to sway with organized disinformation. So Russian botfarms, Bannon’s incel army etc. can focus disproportionate resources on it.

Corporate Democrats lost control of the Nevada State Democratic Party and are wrecking it on their way out.

Can you help progressives fight back and get back the $450,000 the Corporate Democrats ran away with? https://t.co/lfVxkO4LnC

they apparently really did do this, put a guillotine logo on the website:

I get literal death threats for wanting to remove the color blue from the IDGOP logo in 2018, but literal socialists get free reign to put a GUILLOTINE in the Nevada Dems logo. How many of you think that this is ok? pic.twitter.com/hIKe5bswjf

In reply to Tankies aren't going to take

turns out Tankies is a hot topic, lots of people have something to say

Especially because the tankies of the world have joined forces on the internet to target the US populace with very little standing in their way. https://t.co/GAIqIlfbCp

Yeah considering the fact the majority of Americans run away in fear at the slightest mention of basic social democratic principles, I find it *VERY* unlikely “tankies” will have influence over anything.
— Nolan(@NoTyAnWi) March 9, 2021

This is second hand, but there was a pretty big schism within the Socialist Rifle Organization over tankies.

The further left you get, the more they're an actual big problem.

I think David Horowitz is the template of someone whose youthful stupidity and lack of self awareness results in reactionary politics with time. Tankies are harmless now, but I wouldn't be surprised if they turn into reactionaries five years from now.
— nellzymandias (@podcastingFatso) March 9, 2021

They're not going to be like the alt-right, but as discussion shifts to foreign policy the tankies' ideas will be more influential on the left than people now expect, which will hurt the left and strengthen the right...at least, that's what worries me.

Tankies aren't going to take over the U.S. government but they're going to cause a lot more trouble than you expect.
— Noah Smith (@Noahpinion) March 9, 2021

I'm skeptical, they seem pretty marginal even in orgs like DSA. I could be proven wrong, but my bet is they remain an online phenomenon without much real world impact

Tankie superpower is the ability of tiny numbers of people to be incredibly disruptive.

edit to add new reply:

The real tankies don't even think Bernie and Trump differ.

It's Nevada. The fauxgressives will lose very seat in the state.

When I canvassed for Clinton in the 2016 Nevada caucus, I was struck by how young and cutthroat the Bernie people tended to be vs. the Clinton people who could be very different in temperament and political attitudes depending on age.
— Joel (@exadyto) March 9, 2021

Based on what I saw, I’m not really surprised that the DSA people could outmaneuver the “establishment” in a party functionary election, but I think people are overestimating what this actually says about NV or means for Nevadans.

If these new people can’t make peace with the Culinary Workers Union they’ll be toast. But if they can do that and energize young people, things could turn out well.

“The Democratic National Committee hired Mounce as their new political director last month.”

The DNC hired the person that kneecapped liberals in Nevada by uniting their staff to take their ball and go home@DNC is a joke https://t.co/09kdQQ8CeD
