On July 4, 2026, Democratic Socialists of America passed 120,000 members, making us the largest socialist organization in United States history and surpassing the Socialist Party of America under Eugene Debs, which reached its peak dues-paying membership in 1912.

Total and utter refutation of the idea that electoral work is detrimental to the organization. Ask yourself if empirical evidence causes you to reflect on your beliefs, if not, on what basis do you hold those ideas?
The effort to brand El-Sayed first as antisemitic and then, when that didn’t stick, as anti-woman is a good example of how identity politics is used to try and discipline the populist left.

If you see a soldier, and he goes in a drawer, and if you wanna wear a dress and you think its funny, just dont take a fucking picture"
Dave Weigel: “When Fox News is booking you and covering you, might that be for the same reason Republican PACs spend to help progressive candidates? That they see you as easier to beat?”
Abdul El-Sayed: “It’s amazing to me how deeply they’re misjudging this. I’m like: You have never fought a counterpuncher. The number of times I’m gonna define and redefine Mike Rogers! We’re talking about an anti-charismatic old school politician who doesn’t even know what he believes, except for he wants to make himself rich off of the rest of us. You know what I’m gonna do to that man? By the time I’m done, his best friends are gonna look at him and think what I think, say what I say. I’m gonna define him into eternity. Good, help me beat the crap out of you. Little parts of your vestiges — politically — are gonna be scattered all over the state of Michigan, never to be seen again. You say “Mike Rogers,” it’ll be like: “Remember when Abdul just completely demolished that man’s political future?” By the time I’m done with him, people are going to be calling him Five Dollar Rogers.”
Weigel: “Why five dollars?”
El-Sayed: “Because of $5 gas and how he’ll do whatever you want him to do for five bucks.”
