any amount donated makes a difference. most lebanese people earn less than $100 a month

i'll also be putting together my own fundraising soon to get supplies - especially medical supplies - into the country. it totally 100% definitely doesn't involve smuggling

@lsedvydis @Tupacisoverit considering that the sans-culottes were the primary base of political support for la montagne, it would seem quite unnecessary to have a sans-culottes faction. if anything, it'd run counter to the role of the sans-culottes as the working class vehicle outside of the party

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@the_big_put the resolution explicitly addresses DSA members that AREN'T endorsed who knowingly run against candidates who ARE endorsed

engaging in hostile egotism is inexcusable, regardless of how good the endorsement process is, and endorsement processes can't make someone less egotistical

[JABS 🌇🫒 @Monsieur_JABS]

Hay un debate en torno a esto al que no tengo nada que añadir, pero este logo va durísimo

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@brandon_lighty it's about other DSA members knowingly running against DSA-endorsed candidates - competing endorsements have never happened before afaik, so that's a nonissue and non sequitur at best

also the NPC doesn't consider national endorsement without the chapter requesting it

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@ajwagner86 @laurel_noack @MountainDSA whether the outcome of one specific election would change doesn't change the fact that those spoilers were members who knowingly circumvented chapter democracy and harmed our organizing efforts, all because they couldn't take no for an answer

it's pure egotism and individualism

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@JessGoesBoom @MountainDSA those are crazy hoops to jump through just to try and purge someone, esp since it commits you to running for office. you can see how horribly impractical that is, right?

maybe it's worth all that effort in your mind, but tbh that says a lot more about you than the resolution

[Mountain Caucus ⛰️🌹 @MountainDSA]

Mountain Caucus insta a todos los miembros de la DSA a abogar por la unidad del partido y a respaldar la resolución «Stop the Spoilers: For the Expulsion of Spoiler Candidates».

La guerra por la hegemonía socialista solo puede ganarse mediante la unidad de la clase trabajadora.

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@laurel_noack @MountainDSA the specific endorsement process isn't really relevant, if i'm being honest

sometimes decisions don't go our way, and we have to accept that democratic outcome

if you're insistent on circumventing that democracy, then an org with "democratic" in the name probably isn't for you

[Mountain Caucus ⛰️🌹 @MountainDSA]

Mountain Caucus urges all DSA members to call for party unity, and to sign onto the resolution, "Stop the Spoilers: For the Expulsion of Spoiler Candidates".

The war for socialist hegemony can only be won through the unity of the working class.

@jshbz If you need me I'll be balls deep in bourbon

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@laurel_noack @wes_dsa @ostonox respectfully, if a hopeful candidate within the org can't talk to a couple dozen members (out of a chapter of several hundred) and solicit them for a very low-stakes approval, then they shouldn't get their hopes up for endorsement by the chapter

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@laurel_noack @wes_dsa @ostonox chi osse wasn't running against a dsa-endorsed candidate, and in fact suspended his campaign when he failed to secure endorsement (and for good reason). so idk what your point is here

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@JustinInBmore @Avery161131 @antifa_17 i'm going to ask you directly: are you only in DSA to try and do green-alignment? because you've been weirdly insistent that DSA needs to "go green" and that y'all are to our left, when the programs are available to read online

i'm a COMMUNIST. a LENINIST. you aren't to my left

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@JustinInBmore @Avery161131 @antifa_17 respectfully, stop claiming the greens are to the left of DSA. they're not. a side-by-side comparison of DSA's program and the greens' shows that the greens are to the right of DSA, unambiguously. insisting otherwise is cope

i can go down point-by-point, if you really want me to

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@antifa_17 GW-left: kinda chill, support national organizing, like working with B&R, trying to branch out further with mountain, r&r, and MUG, genuinely pretty comradely

GW-right when you disagree with them on anything:

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@CinemarxismBret @harbingerofwoke j ryder isn't a DSA member so he's entirely unconcerned with the fact that we, as an org, have bare-minimum standards in place

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@ChipCatterson @plantbasedagony so you want a DSA elected to... not stand by DSA's stated positon? if they don't stand with us, why be a DSA elected in the first place?

it's one thing if you disagree with it. it's another to want an elected to break with the org's stance because you personally disagree with it

[Iskandar🏔️🌹☭☭☭ @IskandarYari]

@JustinInBmore @Avery161131 @antifa_17 almost definitely a new ballot line. simply put, PSL and the greens run elections not for any kind of end goal, but just to run them. PSL does it just because it can, and the greens do it because, idfk, delusions of grandeur? the LARP? either way, it'd be our own DSA ballot line
