@therealmugomar This is why we can't completely center around electoralism. If a truly socialist organization imploded because one politician doesn't do what they say, it wasn't a socialist organization to begin with. I can guarantee you my chapter will keep working regardless of what AOC does.
@joewrote@CliffConnolly Im in Alabama. The NYC model is an almost purely electoral model, which would not work here. Our state democratic party is deeply corrupt. This is not to discount what NYC has done, their wins are inspiring, but to say its transferable to the deep south, is naive.
DSA National co-chairs appreciation post: I see every day they take their roles very seriously and work really hard, and they’re doing a good job. DSA is growing fast, and we need to keep adding capacity so that both NPC and staff have what they need to meet the moment.
