DSA endorsement and her winning are not correlated. She’ll probably lose either way.

Nobody was voting for Cynthia Nixon because they were a loving Sex and the City Fan. She opens her loving ad defending public schools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiOo4C2CiRQ She literally opens her ad declaring we're the most unequal state in the country. That outside NYC, half our kids are below the poverty line. And she just asks, how did we let this happen? We are sick of politicans who care more about headlines and power, than they do about us. She literally said to stick our necks out and fight and sieze. Maybe it's all bullshit, but that it is a loving hell of a lot more honest, and real, and getting the DSA to power to move and fight across not just New York and then the rest of America, than any loving dickhead that is Cuomo or working for Cuomo.

Folks, I'm hearing that if you don't think NYC DSA should endorse Nixon, it means you want to campaign for Andrew Cuomo to be President of these United States and further grind the poor into dust on a national scale. hosed up if true.

Unbelievably Fat Man posted:DSA should definitely endorse millionaires who decided they were socialists 10 minutes ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiOo4C2CiRQ Mar 19, 2018 watch that and loving tell me that letting Cuomo go unchallenged is a better idea than some irrelevant RPG spreadsheet of privilege that won't matter as Trump somehow tries to run for re-election in 2024. I can't watch that and think she is bullshitting any harder than Cuomo as he keeps Republicans in power of the State senate. It is Cuomo's loving people being convicted of corruption in the racistass court system. So why should we give Cuomo a pass? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zfFELTu-rQ Nixon isn't perfect. Or great. I accept and even endorse your criticisms. But I'd rather actress Nixon making mistakes, instead of brokeass Cuomo trying to legitimize his tyranny against a left-wing insurgency.

Go. it's fun. you can meet both drama magnets and non-drama people at DSA. there are all kinds. philly seems to have had success already knocking off some lovely corrupt machine politics dems so i imagine there will be less drama than, say, east bay, whose accomplishments to date have mostly been drama-related

Hostess Snack Cake posted:should i go to the philly dsa general meeting this weekend? i have never had any contact with this organization but i General meetings (typically) are pretty dry affairs. I'd recommend checking to see if there's some sort of intro to DSA or socialism or some sort of orientation meeting planned by the chapter happening soon, which will probably be a better starting point. BUT! If not (or you are fired up enough to not wait) yeah go for it. If nothing else you can hear about what the chapters been doing, what they are going to be doing, and find someone who has their finger on the pulse on the chapter who can help plug you into a committee or working group or whatever, since that's where the real work gets done. General meetings are important, but it's basically the equivalent of going to an all hands meeting at a company on your first day.

usually meetings are members getting together, talking about whats been going on, what's coming up, and voting on procedural stuff (or endorsing a candidate, formation of a working group, allocating funds for something, etc)

talking about what's been going on sounds very boring but also I have no experience with or knowledge of the Philly dsa the national group so those things would probably be good to know. anything's better than idly applying for jobs. plus they seem to be going to a Phillies game as a group soon and i would be a fool to pass up an opportunity to have hot dogs shot at me from a cannon E: i think i missed the orientation meeting by a few days fabergay egg has issued a correction as of 07:35 on Jul 27, 2018 |

At Sac DSA almost every meeting or event had people go to the bar or someone's house after so. At least the ones I've been too. Or maybe it's just that I'm so drat cool everyone wants it to rub off on them
