I did some browsing on there, and my god, these people are disgusting pro-Zionist genocide supporting clowns. The article about why you should vote for them, talks about "Hamas pogroms" against Jews, opposing a ceasefire, and acting like the Palestinians are the ones doing the oppressing. agony-shivering In the same article:

“The Socialist Workers candidates urge workers to organize and act to prevent the Democratic Party’s assault on freedoms protected by the U.S. Constitution,” Trowe said. “The Democrats’ witch hunt against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump — the attempt to throw him off the ballot, ruin his family and send him to prison — is a blow to political rights workers sorely need. Whoever is targeted today, it is working people who will be targeted tomorrow.”

wut Who the fuck cares. None of that matters when it comes to workers rights. If the Democrats actually managed to do any of that, and "ruin his family", I'd be fucking laughing. But the Democrats have no true desire to do any of that, because it's all a circus. They're nowhere near as cool as that.

In the article on Navalny they also use the same talking points and framing as your average lib, just with some fancy socialist words thrown into the mix to fool you, while completely not mentioning Navalny's politics, but merely calling him Putin's "bourgeois opponent".

In another article they call DSA a "Stalinist current" michael-laugh , and talk about there being socialists and a socialist wing in the Democratic Party. jesse-wtf

And of course they have a newspaper, because why wouldn't they. Really living up to that Trot stereotype.

Out of pure curiosity, I decided to use their search function to see if I could find any articles on trans rights, and see where they stand... Surprise surprise, I found articles in which they defend TERFs and attack "Antifa" and "trans activists" for silencing TERFs' freeze-peach , using the classic "attack on women's rights" and "biological facts" angle. visible-disgust

Who the fuck needs chuds with deranged Trots like these. I'd personally plant an ice pick in their skulls. pika-pickaxe

Whenever I see Trot brainworms, I simply think back to this:
