people don't pay attention to black districts in the south because people vote by racial lines, meaning you get a handful of districts where all the black people are crammed in, and then all the statewide races that matter are dominated by white R voters it's especially bad in MS because there aren't any actual urban centers to even things out. Jackson is the largest city in MS and it's only 171k people

Okay go.

Wyoming is a pretty good bang-for-your-buck state on account of their 1 representative being worth literally double all 53 of California's.

Trying to reform the Massachusetts state party is looking like it's going to be a loving bitch and a half, there's something of an establishment cabal at the core of things who have wrapped layers of bureaucratic armor around themselves and burrowing through it is going to be exhausting and unreliable.

If you want to reform the system and take it over, you can't just try to headshot the upper echelons and then get mad that it didn't work. You work from the ground up so that you don't have to win over the elites that you hate, because you've replaced them.

Chokwe Antar Lumumba isn't a DSA member (there also isn't a chapter in Jackson, the only one in the state is a YDSA at USM), but he is active with his late father's group Cooperation Jackson which is pretty socialistic, and did host DSA organizers who came down for the march on the Nissan Plant. He was running on a platform of economic democracy. He ran as a Democrat, but we don't have party registration so he's not 'officially' anything, and the Cooperation Jackson folks acknowledge that it's mostly convenience that has the Lumumbas run as Dems. The Democratic establishment here (all poo poo on Bernie pretty regularly on their personal twitters and were #TeamTom) certainly would have preferred the main opposition candidate state Senator John Horhn. Chokwe Jr. earned my vote, and I did some door knocking too. I really hope after a couple of successful terms he runs for the deep blue MS CD 2.

Speaking of Cooperation Jackson, good article that gives some interesting ideas for local economies: https://www.thenation.com/article/meet-the-radical-workers-cooperative-growing-in-the-heart-of-the-deep-south/ quote:Cooperation Jackson is a workers’ cooperative, started in 2013, that is striving to be a one-stop-shop for activism and economic development in the city. So far the co-op is small: a farm, a couple-dozen plots of land, a little over 100 dues-paying members, and a community center. But it’s aiming to be much more. The organization’s mission isn’t to just help Jackson residents, but to give them an entirely new, supportive economy in which to operate. The idea is essentially this: Since Jackson’s current economy isn’t working for its residents, and its current political system isn’t doing much to help, why not create a new economic and political system right alongside the old one?
