I’m thinking of joining SA after doing some volunteering on the Sawant campaign (she’s in my district). I spent two years with DSA but went to ISO (lol) meetings and demonstrations more often, and I’ve come to appreciate the focused efforts of SA. I dont agree with everything and Sawant has some odd positions but I’m not sure they matter enough to me over being part of a somewhat effective organization that does good work where I live and ~raises awareness~what’s the worst that could happen?

im in sa but not in seattle. awesome that you were able to do some work on the campaign. was the largest campaign weve run so far and got a ton of national and even international media attention. prior to like 2011 i was a democrat and volunteered on a bunch of democratic political campaigns from like 2004-2011 on local, state, and national level before realizing i was a socialist. despite all that the sawant campaign was the most well run campaign ive ever been part of. like the average canvasser had more organizing ability than 99% of the field organizers ive met in dem politics. its a big reason why socialism will win, cause the liberals are incompetent.

I sidle up to author Tony Tulathimutte downstairs, dressed normally. “This is the conjunction of eight different micro-niche literary-world types, right?” he says, as a means of hello. “I just saw the Chapo guys over there.” I had in fact just come from attempting to talk to Chapo Trap House host Will Menaker, but he’d answered five different questions the same way: “I need to ask my girlfriend.”

Lately I’m trying to look more like a regular Bratz doll,” she explains matter-of-factly. “Or as someone called me online, ‘a haunted Megan Fox Bratz doll.’” Before the party, she’d posted an Instagram Story saying she bought angel dust and wine for the event’s after-party, instead of spending the money on fillers, “bc I care about COMMUNITY.”

This person sucks so loving bad. I couldn't even make it any further in the article lol. Maybe this is actually ironic but, well, lives in New York, so chances are its 200% sincere

it is basically correct, i just dont agree that a theoretical united Marxist third world workers state is going to be able to build up the military to resist the first world without getting slapped down. so you have to accept that first world workers are vastly more wealthy than the third, but are necessary for seizing the means of reactionary killing machines

I know. And I know these people aren't actually interested in a workers' movement, they're just doing what's culturally en vogue at the moment since they don't have to make any lifestyle changes. Doesn't make it any less appalling.

Soprano won’t tell me how they met Rachel—a common refrain—but offers to talk about the book club. I mention that the acknowledgments of Rachel’s poetry book refer to the book club as a sex cult. “Yeah! The sex cult.” And you’ve had sex at it? “Yes, sure, on occasion.” What was the last book you read? “Ursula Le Guin I think. Darkness…” A girl standing nearby chimes in, “Left Hand of Darkness. It’s a sexy book.” Ripley furrows their brow, “I don’t think anyone really liked it! I never come for the book.” (Later, when I ask Rabbit White about the literary commitment of the book club, she throws up her hands, “I didn’t mean to throw an orgy, I truly just wanted to read more…but everyone wanted to do the orgy.”)
