The Soviet Union is pretty instructive for lessons on what not to do when you're building the socialist society of the future.

Running candidates is not just about winning, it's also about creating pipelines and getting exposure to a wider, offline audience. Running for everything available, from dogcatcher on up, I think, is the way to go, but its up to the local chapters and individuals to decide what is worth the cost or not. Still, this could be a strong opportunity to get a platform if the Democrats are just going to cede it.

Right now we're struggling on meeting places, yeah, because Williamson County loving sucks and has nowhere you can meet that isn't a crowded restaurant or cost $50/hr minimum. We're meeting at a member's house in Leander this Sunday if you want to drop by! Another member and I won't be there since we'll be in Chicago for the convention, but the meeting's gonna be headed up by my fellow co-chair and it should hopefully be pretty productive! Oh hey! So I was out of town last weekend but I'm totally still interested. I will keep my eye on the FB page.

abandoning texas is abandoning the state with the second-highest amount of "illegal" immigrants in the country. Although, we should really be organizing in and around Laredo more than Austin. Don't let the current feud with certain bad actors in the austin chapter cause you to lose sight of that.

I'd rather see socialists in Texas doing everything they can than just giving up. granted that i don't know much about the landscape of texas DSA but running a candidate for governor is A Big Deal. i'd rather organize on the local level and work our way up to governorships than do a half-assed attempt that does nothing besides disheartening a bunch of people edit: i think one of the biggest issues the left has is that enacting any change in our system is a marathon, not a sprint

Can a police officer be a part of the DSA without resistance or is that impossible and the can only be welcome if they give up their badge and ties to other officers or police organizations?
