ChickenOfTomorrow posted:ignore all my loving optimistic posts earlier. participation at meetings is decreasing and we havent even finished becoming an oc. i'll put out an e-mail listing all the things that need doing and no-one volunteers so i end up doing it myself so it doesnt get done properly because i don't have the time to do it properly. i contact people who express interest and say they'll come so i arrange the meeting around their schedule and then they don't show. this is just every volunteer group on the planet, that's ok.  have you connected with the national yet? Try to get put in touch with an honest-to-god community or union organizer. Those are the people with the skills you need to succeed.

Whoops. Took the NH DSA Twitter account into a slap fight with a local conservative writer. And I'm too stubborn to not get the last word.

Bok Bok posted:Exactly. I was speaking directly to why I'm not part of the Bernie worship. This isn't the sole reason but Imani Gandy elaborates on why it's so offensive for him to be cozying up to this Mello idiot better than I ever could. This is an extremely good article on the subject that includes links to Mello's actual record. I don't know how his anti-choice voting history became optional ultrasounds like at Planned Parenthood but your sources are incorrect. Hey, considering you never came back and apologized for being sexist as poo poo, here's an article for you - https://www.salon.com/2017/04/25/the-democrats-hypocrisy-fest-disingenuous-attacks-on-bernie-sanders-persist-and-his-popularity-climbs/

Regardless of the outcome TPUSA will think they won because they're actually just a neo-fascist group and don't give nearly as much of a poo poo about economics as they claim to.

I am not a Democrat and expecting equal rights does not make me sexist. Mello co-sponsored multiple bills, using language invented by the far right that has no basis in biological fact, that served no purpose but to impede women's right to choose. I was disappointed in Bernie's endorsement. DSA national and Omaha chapter expressed disappointment as well. Bernie is not a member of DSA and can do as he chooses. He does not need my unquestioning support. If you don't believe unfettered access to health services including abortion should be available to women you are not a leftist. If you think it's appropriate to verbally abuse women for voicing their opinions you are not a socialist. If you think this makes me sexist you should tear up your DSA card. Again, my right to bodily autonomy is not negotiable.

Bok Bok posted:If you don't believe unfettered access to health services including abortion should be available to women you are not a leftist. I don't support Mello, but you're being disingenuous here. There are plenty of leftists, socialists, and dsa members who believe human rights extend to the unborn. In their view: if you don't put a human's right to exist above all other rights you can't call yourself a socialist/leftist/civilized being. e: honestly though, if you don't think all right are an extension from the core right to exist, then you probably shouldn't call yourself a socialist. You have to admit that if someone believes a fetus is human it is the moral decision to oppose abortion. And I have to admit that Mello's bills were not about opposing abortion, but trying to shame women into not getting them. killer crane has issued a correction as of 04:05 on Apr 27, 2017 |

As much as I love leftist infighting this isn't the abortion debate thread it's the DSA thread, if you want to argue about the democratic party there's also a different thread for that.

There's a decent amount of personally pro life people in the dsa who nonetheless support unfettered abortion access. I've never I've never encountered the legendary "loves Marxism and hates women's bodily autonomy " dsa person twitter loves to dream up.

We just had a sign making meeting for our local rally last night. Might end up being small, but we've got some solid speakers lined up, so it should at least be interesting. Now if I could just figure out what to put on the reverse side of my "Google Murray Bookchin" sign.
