The way many tendencies within our organization treat our members who are unable to attend meetings consistently betrays a troubling elitist attitude Members are not missing meetings because they are afraid to touch grass, it’s because they are parents, have second jobs, uncertain work hours, etc!

Cliff Connolly, a National Political Committee member from the caucus Marxist Unity Group, says the following on Twitter:

1. Most NPC members already want to endorse AOC
2. Every version of what we’re voting on today includes an all-member poll, the question is should it be online or at a meeting
3. Online Member Only Voting is a bad idea, DSA members need to touch grass
4. Take a deep breath

DSA chapters should organize for & expect regular public engagement with elected officials they endorse — it’s an important part of collective organization & building toward co-governance against a hostile establishment. Looking forward to seeing what’s discussed here

Trump’s fascist movement is blossoming while the Democratic establishment debates whether a working class agenda can win. We can fight back! Join NYC-DSA’s mass call with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social on Mon, 12/2 at 8pm to build DSA. actionnetwork.org/events/mass-...

Another World is Possible! A mass call with AOC & NYC-DSA Monday December 2nd 8PM New York City Democratic Socialists of America

This video might make you mad. You might want to throw your device across the room stick your fingers in your years and scream. “YOU VOTED FOR A FACIST. DIDN’T YOU SEE THE RALLY?” They voted for Trump not bc of that but despite it. They’re persuadable. There is a way forward. We can win.

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Fc...

This is a BALLSY video for any Dem to make, let alone a DSA-endorsed candidate for NYC mayor. But it's a real sign that the left is doing the introspection we need to bring us back to our multiracial, class-struggle populist roots. Zohran is proving to be an AMAZING candidate.
