Seems pretty reasonable to ask for a chapter vote before creating a new member group that wants to represent the chapter and use its resources

Ventura DSA is having a holiday party tonight. I'm bringing Rosè wine and rose-infused vodka.

you can really tell the left is primarily made up of 20 somethings with no life skills because the drama always flares up the worst during wintertime SAD season / holiday break, then gradually subsides until summer break, when it flares up again.

Because even if everyone is acting 100% in good faith it's very easy for things to seem like favoritism for pet issues or sandbagging something the SC and admins don't like. Also let's be honest, there are plenty of folks who either aren't operating in good faith or who are so standoffish and bad at dealing with people it's always gonna feel like they're trying to ratfuck you even if they're on your side. and I say this as someone who had a few situations in the last year where procedural stuff just always happened to just barely keep some of my working groups from doing stuff my local's strongly anti-electoralism SC and politics committee didn't want to happen.

Jeremy Gong didn't bring it to a vote, he (multiple times) stopped it from getting to a vote. The people behind the brake lights had to get 10% of the membership to sign on to the clinic to FORCE Jeremy to allow it to be voted on. Even then, the was 0 mention of it on any of the Momentum controlled EBDSA social media which was really awesome considering that's the only material support the coalition needed from them. Strangely enough it was easy to get DSASF to help out on that front.

As an aside the new social media person for EB is awesome and drums up interest for more than just M4A lit drops and somehow it hasn't descended into madness yet.

So I attended a city council meeting with other members of Richmond DSA because the council was voting on setting up a commission to look into whether the big dumb money-sucking stadium the city wants to build would be a better use of money than repairing our lovely schools. A lot of that evening is a blur to me, but thankfully a senior member livetweeted it until his phone died: https://twitter.com/RVAdirt/status/1074798662696484865 https://twitter.com/RVAdirt/status/1074811474802106370 https://twitter.com/RVAdirt/status/1074837683099308032 Solitair has issued a correction as of 11:32 on Dec 22, 2018 |

In addition to the "how to get more women and poc in dsa" question dsa also needs to figure out how to get non computer touches or people in academia in it.

Lightning Knight posted:"Cisheteronormativity is a colonial construct" is a fairly mainstream historical and sociological idea as far as I'm aware, is it not? The same is true of the category "natural," which when applied to human affairs is almost always an attempt at normalizing one thing and stigmatizing another. "Natural" and "queer" are not really friends, and in fact the entire purpose of queer as a category is to break down the natural/unnatural dichotomy. There's nothing inherently revolutionary about the kind of sex people have or the relationships they develop, as demonstrated by how sex is arguably the only domain in which the liberalism of the last 100 years has managed to expand human freedom.

Gotta figure out how to break down the theory into relatable language that doesn't involve academic terms or the work of anybody born before 1980 imo, I've spent a lot of time trying to explain leftist politics to non-college educated coworkers and older people my parents' age and the biggest hurdle is breaking the theory down into language they find relatable. When I went to DSA Milwaukee meetings they had some good sessions where they would discuss specific policies or ideas that would affect people's lives immediately, such as a shorter work week or universal childcare, so that the ideas could connect with people on a practical level.
