@ArmandDoma I don't claim to understand it, but easily, apparently -- one of my best college friends is a gay musician deep in queer and artistic circles. Made over a million working for Palantir right out of college, quit, and now makes music full-time. 🙃
@YeOldStinkPot@BigMeanInternet The "big wins" probably look concentrated, but the potential is in chapters nationwide. I don't have my pulse on the org anymore, but would not have expected a congressional win out of DSA Denver back in the late 2010's. Tide's shifting; training and timing can make a difference.

@lemmingstribes Someone said it! Here's the "Five Cities" in CA's SLO County. Two of those cities succeeded in annexing two others...in the past century. Still got 3 councils, 3 city managers, 3 sets of municipal departments...the work is not complete!
