Join us this Saturday!

That’s true, but the problem is that she followed her confusing vote up with a statement that said she always supports funding for defensive weapons like the Iron Dome. So she supports the defense of a (genocidal, her word) country, with no defense of Gaza.

I skim completed it, mostly reading the insufficient summaries and making a best guess. For the first couple pages I was re-reading whole resolutions and even asking forum questions, but that was bog slow.

If DSA had existed in the Soviet Union its members would have been imprisoned or exiled or killed.

Lol, depends on the chapter. Usually roberts rules, committee reports, maybe a resolution, some political education, some snacks.

I'm impressed with all of the DSA member politicians you manage to dig up. Many seem to be unendorsed, is that right? More like quiet members.

Welcome, and you joined, you did not subscribe : ) I mean, we don't even have a hard copy publication any more. But we have meetings, so go to those!

Moving season. We started a “comrades helping comrades” section in our newsletter and the first two requests were for moving help. People did too!

Thank you for spreading the good word that is socialism, Phil BuildTheFutureNow. DSA seeks to build a future for everyone, not just the lucky few—a just, beautiful, abundant and diverse future.

How much did they spend building public pressure and organizing against it instead of asking for donations? Politics is more than the next election, it’s building movements.

Cool, and welcome! I’m 59 and DSA is great.

Our “no billionaires” platform might be a turnoff for him.

Yes, run as inspiring Democratic Socialists and members of DSA, with strong, consistent, economically populist messaging. And don't bend to AIPAC.

Packing the vote!

Brown: Zohran Mamdani’s upset win in New York mayor election holds lessons for Minnesota politics "How can a democratic socialist become the frontrunner to become mayor of New York? The same way a reality TV host and controversial billionaire can become president of the United States," columnist A...

NYC has about 10 percent of overall membership, and really the other chapters are doing fine. NYC-DSA is doing well, Zohran is awesome, but even our chapter of 140 has 4 socialists in office.

Chapters have been getting better at onboarding. Ours grew from 100 to 144 since Trump this November, so we get practice. I was a Green myself before Nader ran (late nineties).

I think we have chapters in most states. I don’t see Wyoming and Alaska on the list (used to have two in Alaska, but sometimes they fizzle).

You will hear about caucuses, but most members are not in them. DSA politics mostly occurs in chapters, and they vary. Ours is small (144 members). We decide things democratically at meetingsplan stuff in smaller working groups and committees. The politics range from social-democrat to communism.

What David Dinkins Taught Us Whatever his failings, the late New York mayor David Dinkins's historic stature and contributions to the common good gave him a unique place in the democratic socialist movement.

DSA was a laboratory for Mamdani. Now we just have to put his approach into production in races around the country. He called himself a democratic socialist all the way through, and he did not shy away from standing up for Palestine. But the main focus was his issues. Very Bernie, that way.

Zohran Mamdani: “We are special as DSA electeds not because of ourselves, we are special because of our organization.”

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.
