PSL branch here said they've already doubled in numbers so far, although it's a pretty small branch. SAlt is the biggest org here by far and are increasing a ton as well

If the deportation/internment camp thing pans out I pray you know it's your civic duty as an American who theoretically respects the Bill of Rights to either register as a Muslim or form a chain gang to protect a mosque or whatever.

Who would make some good Socialist candidates for president in 2020 (that we know of?) Jon Stewart or Elizabeth Warren perhaps?
Failing that would would make good congressional/gubernatorial candidates for 2018 races?
Are there any major Socialists besides Bernie and Warren anyways?

There's Kshama Sawant in Seattle in terms of non-national people. She's pretty outspoken and awesome but not very well known nationally.

Sadly she's not a natural born citizen. Assuming the constitution even holds in 4 years.

"She's not respecting the will of the people" is lol. I actually worry some of the signatories are liberals.

Even The Stranger turned against her. A pretty left leaning local Seattle paper if you aren't familiar. Examples of why the mainstream democratic elite is A) in denial and B) won't change

I mean, if you joined the PSL, I'd imagine you then wouldn't be able to vote in Dem primaries, but you could still contact your local/state dems and speak your mind.

hundreds of people could marry themselves to the dem party reform struggle; at best you'd get 4-8 years, before it reverts back to form. democrats aren't willing to build and maintain left party structures (unions, class-consciousness building propaganda, african/indian nationalist orgs).

At best they think Hillary was a bad candidate and Bernie is a little better. That's about it, I don't think they'll fundamentally change.

If your state has an open primary it doesn't matter what party you are, and the Dems aren't purging party registrations like UK Labour or something

You don't even really register as Dem, there's no fees, you basically just state intent

Doesn't matter w/o actual, explicitly socialist organizations that are willing to take up class struggle and not just huff their own farts all day. I think service provision hand in hand with political organizing is hands down the most important things for our orgs on the left to be doing.
