Nadler is old, but at 78 he isn't even the 10th oldest Dem in the house! He's #19

The oldest five Dems in Congress, Maxine Waters, Steny Hoyer, Nancy Pelosi, Jim Clyburn, and Danny Davis are all running for re-election except Davis, who is the youngest of the bunch at only 83

I get the concern that it would make it harder for socialists to get elected! But as I've said, I do think that concern is somewhat unfounded, largely due to the top 2 primary system in CA that makes it exceedingly difficult in typical DSA-target deep blue areas

It's a difficult issue tho and I personally definitely expected it spark some discourse! My best advice to anyone who is tempted to say that CA DSA has sold out or whatever is just to trust that your comrades who have been leading the fight in CA might know more about our local conditions than you

I voted for the measure to endorse Prop 50 and I think it ultimately comes down to a political difference in outlook. For me, fighting fascism, even if that could technically help Democrats, and solidifying DSA as a leader in the anti-fascist coalition rather than just a spectator, is most important

Because of top 2 primaries in California, ironically it actually could provide more opportunity for us to elect socialists. In deep blue districts, it can be a Dem vs Dem general race, in which the more moderate Dem almost always wins bc of GOP and moderate voters

I am proud to have supported Nithya in 2020 and 2024 and I will be proud to support her re-election in 2028

My friend Mattie wrote this excellent piece for California DSA about how @dsa.la has fought back against the fascist incursion into our city
This part in the end has stuck with me. Only socialism can truly beat fascism

this is impressive because it not only misunderstands the dynamics of the race but it also gets the definition of β€œbread and circuses” wrong *twice*

The articles quoted are from 1894 but some things never change!

Just a reminder that no matter what he does with redistricting (which I'm supportive of, fuck the Republican Party), it still is and will ALWAYS be fuck Gavin Newsom

That man will never be President and has done truly horrible things just to get 10% in Iowa

Join DSA-LA’s Fighting Fascism Campaign, Political Education Committee, and socialist author Fred Glass as we discuss what the concept of fascism reveals about the present moment and the opportunities for fighting back.

It has underfunded our state while exacerbating our housing crisis and wealth inequality! It has also become very much a third rail that most politicians are unwilling to touch despite its increasing unpopularity and the increasing severity of its consequences.

Just amazing, masterful stuff

That is a very complicated question probably not suited to tweet format lol

Basically: statewide federation that chapters somewhat opt into (some don't really participate rn)
CA DSA is also the only formation in DSA that doesn't get dues share from national
