well, @demsocialists.bsky.social is a democratic, member-run organization fighting for a better world, and @washingtonpost.com is owned by one of the richest men in the world who uses it to push his anti-worker propaganda

If there are any frivolous, unnecessary, or clearly expulsions under R22 I’ll call them out. For now let’s focus on what will actually happen.

It’s bad faith calling them Zionists, yes. They just don’t like the expulsion clause. As someone from a chapter that passed an Anti-Zionist resolution with expulsion clauses added, I don’t think R22 will cause any frivolous and unnecessary expulsions.

Sorry to get all dialectics here, but it is the synthesis between the activist mass movement approach and the electoralism approach that has allowed DSA to be as successful as it has to date and will be in the future. A better understanding of that on both sides would be to everyone's benefit

I suspect that 1M1V will be deliberated throughout this NPC term and will pass in some manner next Convention - just like NPC expansion was deliberated last Convention, failed, and passed via Democracy Commission.

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate.

I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the β€œuniverse” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧡

it is kind of interesting that the language-based instruction of LLMs may be revealing certain truths hidden in the way we’ve communicated for decades, like how β€œpolitically incorrect” is interpreted to mean β€œopenly racist”

Ask Zohran. He will tell you that DSA is what makes him politically who he is. Ask NYC DSA, they will tell you how he's their cadre.

Zohran is DSA through and through. That's the reason he won. And a lot of people are going to have to own up to that.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

If Zohran wins DSA will become much more important. Why? Because Zohran is almost entirely a *product of DSA.* Without DSA he'd still likely be an aimless, but gifted, nepobaby. By contrast, AOC was a free agent who vibed well with DSA and relied on their canvassing operation to win... 1/6

We refuse to watch quietly while Trump marches us into yet another war in the Middle East, this time following Israel on their genocidal mission. No war with Iran! Free Palestine!
