if you think this account is seriously just about salacious gossip, you’ve misunderstood me. it’s about having some accountability for once. also funny DSA memes

"I wanted to enforce when it comes to Palestine, our most controversial yet urgent position—but it turned out to be more expedient not to."

Sounds like an issue you can resolve by either not having "red lines" or having "red lines"

[saya🌺 @hillbillyleft]

this is unacceptable, shameful, and will negatively affect our ability to organize alongside the rest of the Palestine solidarity movement. when Raman gets elected and does something shocking that gets stuck to DSA, you know who to blame.

Can we get an organization that only recruits, endorses, and campaigns for socialists? One that just does the normal stuff other advocacy organizations do rather than this counterintuitive 10-dimensional chess "back capitalists to win socialism" strategy?

We have 0 teeth to calls ourselves an Anti-Zionist organization, when members of our National Leadership body are too scared to hold rogue chapters accountable because they threaten a split. Thanks for setting precedent to get convention mandates ignored.

[joey @JoeyS7]

Ok but it didn’t *all* come down to B&R? Seems like R&R’s ‘against unendorsement’ vote is a major factor!

[DSA Gossip Raccoon @dsagossipbandit]

because they’ve endorsed candidates that don’t hold up to standards so leadership has decided to take their ball and go home instead of working with national.

[max🔻🇵🇸💫 @ineednarc0tics]

still crazy to me that nyc dsa doesn’t do national endorsements

[DSA Gossip Raccoon @dsagossipbandit]

and the socialists endorsed have endorsed one of the options too! @SouthIdahoDSA

[BeshearStan @BeshearStan]

LOL Idaho is voting on a state gun. This is the most Idaho thing I’ve seen

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

This same person saying we need to ensure AOC runs on a “radical platform” was the deciding vote to ensure Nithya Raman could maintain DSA endorsement without even stating support for the BDS movement. When push comes to shove, all these folks have is hollow twitter statements.

[DSA Gossip Raccoon @dsagossipbandit]

this goes against national convention, the organization’s highest body, which voted zionism as a red line and upheld abolition as a principle. DSA is not a democratic org.

[Peter Sterne @petersterne]

BREAKING: DSA's National Political Committee has narrowly voted *not* to force its Los Angeles chapter to unendorse mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a day before the election.

The vote was 13 in favor of unendorsement and 14 against unendorsement.

[🍓🇵🇸 mirah @snackvampire]

despite everything going on in michigan, right dsa npc members (gw, smc & b&r) we are watching whether you will adhere to anti zionist principles in your vote today on whether to carry out the required discipline of nithya for failing to publicly support bds and adhere to R22

[MUG's strongest deergirl 🍻 🪏 @PyrrhaF6]

I will say with NPC discipling chapters and leadership, its fucked up the only time its happened is when it was my chapter because we refused to obey the orders of a psychotic NHGO to reinstate an abuser in our chapter.

[soul khan @soulkhan]

while zohran can't likely get certain funding without hochul, he definitely would have won without her endorsement so if THAT'S really what he traded for keeping tisch, whichever advisors okayed that are absolutely incompetent

[Cinemarxism @CinemarxismBret]

So explain to me again, why is NPC getting blamed for Nithya’s falling poll numbers when this is what DSA-LA member city councillors are doing?

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

The idea that BDS isn’t language included in the national DSA anti-Zionist resolution

[DSA Communist Caucus ☭ @DSACommunists]

Attempts to "trojan horse" socialism by obscuring its opposition to capitalism, seeking office to tinker as technocrats rather than struggle alongside and among the working class, is the politics of fear born from the Red Scare that the communist left has rightfully abandoned.
