minus-squarecheese_greater@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·3 days agoNice. Can I ask why, does she have some ideological differences or whats the deal in your estimation?
minus-squareDrusas@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up2·16 hours agoAs far as I’m aware, she doesn’t prefer to be bound by a label and prefers to follow her values whether they fit with a party/organization or not. She does not call herself a democratic socialist but has said that she doesn’t mind people doing so.
minus-squarecheese_greater@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·15 hours agoDo her values substantially depart from the well-known DSA ones like universal healthcare for example? Has she indicated at least being open to allying with them for that which she and DSA are at least ostensibly aligned?
