I'd say wait till this dude meets his first GMO guy but I guess we've already established he won't be meeting anybody

The local DSA has been a disaster for several years, but this was the month where little mexican kids were being thrown in concentration camps, so maybe that felt slightly more urgent than the poor bastard who got booed down from the stage for saying, "Guys, I have an announcement"

That sucks and is kinda dumb on their part. 2. That's a pretty non-specific time frame.

if that lady was sucking up all the air in the room the co-chair running the meeting needs to step their game up, if it was just elbow rubbing time and somebody having a single issue they didn't want to deviate from you're gonna have trouble organizing in general, much less in hostile shop floors with the wobblies, to say nothing of the wobblies (and every other group to ever exist) having similar issues with people driving hard about what they consider to be the critical issue of our times difficult or lunatic people are excellent resources to sharpen your ability to meet people where they're at and bring them around to your side, when I'm out and about hootin' and hollarin' I'd much rather run into a conservative or lunatic than a liberal

our meetings are usually 45-60 minutes tops but we also don't read previous minutes (why? those should get distributed via the listserv and anything relevant from the last meeting that needs discussed should be a talking point with allotted time and procedure) and reserve heated or lengthy discussion for the open floor period. I've never heard a single objection to this, probably because when it's pitched as "respecting peoples' time" attendees tend to shy away from abusing the floor during agenda discussion it's a democratic org, before you bail because the meetings are awful shoot a line to your co-chair or whoever runs them with your concerns tbh tho I'm not even sure HOW we could stretch a meeting out to 2 hours, even with minutes reading

the new orleans DSA is mostly good people but it’s also pretty toothless. the city leans left culturally but has a weird laissez faire/libertarianish attitude, maybe to do with how absolutely brazenly corrupt the local government is and has been for decades; it’s hard to make headway because no one trusts that any local legislation that’s good will ever pass, and while you can talk to people about bernie and they’re receptive, there’s literally no chance that Louisiana goes blue so all we can really do is encourage people to donate and phonebank and convert family members/friends in more relevant states. which is all very good and important, but there aren’t a lot of local wins to get people excited or drive new membership. on a side note it’s also extremely weird to me how little interest or energy there is about climate change concerns, but maybe the whole city is in collective denial because at current trends New Orleans will be gone in 50 years

It's the inspiration for the weekly repair cafe we do with the local YDSA on one of the State U campuses here. Y'all do good work. Joey Steel has issued a correction as of 19:52 on Nov 6, 2019 |

Y'all do good work. we are good about the brake lights, that’s true! and community solidarity events. I guess in an area this electorally locked down, it makes sense that it’s more direct action focused, and Bernie’s momentum is definitely driving some interest. I think things are going okay, I think I’m just frustrated at how well-armored the political establishment is in this state and unsure what can be done about it while there are so many rural parishes with a tiny population that make recapturing state government nearly impossible even with the biggest cities in the state being solidly blue and getting bluer
