lol. one of my chapter's delegates was absent from the majority of convention sessions and didn't provide our delegation chair notice so they couldn't add an alternate. and this guy is on the chapter steering committee. great e: and another person missed literally every single session? jesus christ CaptainJuan has issued a correction as of 21:07 on Aug 9, 2021 |

I was a first-time delegate and I thought the convention was good overall for the resolutions, but fact that some good people didn't get in the NPC was a bummer. Desiree and Kevin shoulda made it in. The push towards state-level organizing and the childcare/preschool for all resolutions were good and I was happy to see internationalism get reaffirmed. Also, I think DSA is overall cool and good.

https://twitter.com/kittyflandre/status/1429585447437496321 this is interesting. i had no idea that my chapter, dsa sf, is the highest per-capita membership of any chapter. probably mostly due to the chapter only covering the city itself while chapters like atlanta cover about 1/3 of the entire state. it does explain how effective the chapter has been though.

our chapter has rejected any participation in electoralism in favor of working with tenants to stop evictions. I’m kinda surprised this sort of thing isn’t more common considering America infrastructure is in a state of total collapse and Covid is a crisis that will never end. heard some of the southern chapters are doing hurricane relief though

I guess the joke will be on us when this shithole collapses and they suddenly are bombing us in J20s and driving T99 tanks

I’d say dsa should open up some kinda dialogue with the CPC since they’re clearly willing to send reps to other leftist orgs if they’re palling around with the dem canvassing boomers at CPUSA but considering even the Venezuela/Cuba visit was controversial that would probably be a no go (mostly joking though I do wonder what the CPUSA gets out of the situation they’re in being the designated American leftist movement for all the ML parties. like those annual invitations to Beijing and the like can’t be cheap) FrancisFukyomama has issued a correction as of 22:22 on Sep 19, 2021 |

NPC has finished the deliberation on whether to expel Jamaal Bowman https://www.dsausa.org/statements/on-the-question-of-expelling-rep-bowman/ quote:As a socialist organization building mass, working class power for the freedom of all oppressed peoples under capitalism and imperialism, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is committed to the Palestinian fight for freedom. Palestinian liberation is an essential part of our struggle for a socialist future, not a symbolic statement, and we are facing a question of how to achieve the power necessary to ensure we are victorious. It is within this context, the context of strategy, that we examine our relationship to DSA member and Congressman Jamaal Bowman following his egregious Iron Dome vote, meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, and recent trip to Israel with J Street, a pro-Israel lobby group.

The DSA is a useless and suicidal movement that is dedicated to fragmenting and diluting the left. It has no ideology, no discipline, no structure and is generally in every way an organization not fit for purpose. Lenin specifically warned against leaderless, orderless organizations like this and the DSA did it anyway, almost like they wanted to fail. The only purpose for the DSA is to join it and poach it's members to actual useful Marxist-leninist organizations. Also it's fed city.
