This isn’t really a problem isolated to some Geese contributors but has been playing out internally in DSA for years now. There’s a big divide amongst those who want true cadre socialist candidates and those who want to try to back every remote progressive. Flares up every cycle.

@Pisceanluvher Local and national endorsements are different.

And recommendations / voter guides are highly controversial and a local chapter decision.

I think recommending Steyer was a terrible idea.

@jeremykauffman Anything that inconveniences car culture is helping build the political will for pedestrian, bike, and public transit cities.

Aiding to car culture is destroying lives. Not saving them.

Can’t tell if this comically bad EA style ethics is real or not but car culture is the harm.

@joewrote Props to the multi tendency organization making ground across the country on all fronts. We have a lot to learn from each other. But there’s many more factors than simply “wins here imply best” when material conditions and historical development are drastically different.

@centristmarxist If I corrected someone every time they used a word wrong for my discipline that is specific to its use in International Relations bc they’re using it different elsewhere - rather than learn the way the point they’re making, we would get nowhere.

[Drew Soren @sorendrew]

@centristmarxist Not every use case is going to be a marxist use case and words have different meaning and context. It’s pretty obvious that moments like this are not using a marxist conception and rather defending workers.

[Drew Soren @sorendrew]

@joewrote Many other chapters are simply maturing into their own with different timelines because of these factors. Different caucuses have different average member historical roots too (bernie staffers, grad students, etc) and certain skills are given others are developed.

[Drew Soren @sorendrew]

@brent858 No analysis of the historical development of the chapters, material conditions of the city, established local affiliations, etc

A terrible take showcasing nothing but ignorance of the org

[Drew Soren @sorendrew]

@FelixFan03 Painting it as competency instead of the historical development of the organization (from the pre Bernie to post Bernie early org formation / city density / graduate programs / and other factors) is disrespectful to our comrades doing incredible work across the country.

@atmorithia @DemSocialists Incredible work 🙏 been loving all of these

@sadleftist Bernie is not DSA and DSA rank and file as well as elected leadership (CoChair and NPC members) all rallied behind Hong.

@petersterne @adamjohnsonCHI I hope they pay solidarity dues

@ettingermentum Growing up in wisconsin with Scott Walker completely gutting the state and the fact it went for Trump 2 out of 3 times and DSA almost just won a Democratic Socialist to governor?

That’s a testament to all the wisconsin chapters & power DSA is building there. Nothing but respect

@ettingermentum Maybe MN and WI are different states too.

[Drew Soren @sorendrew]

@StellaBostonDSA I think this is just a lack of knowledge of wisconsin.

Eau Claire is one of the most progressive places in the state and heading north west is minneapolis. Areas in between are continually influenced by those two poles.

North west is similar with duluth/superior
