Amazed how quickly the serious people wing of DSA forgot that a lot of Bernie's appeal came from staking out unpopular positions that were validated by subsequent events and experiences.

This would be more persuasive if members of the NPC didn't explicitly make the argument that we need to make space for Zionists in DSA (either because we might fix them or because they might otherwise be very cool like Shawn Fain or something)
There are no Zionists in DSA. Most quit when we endorsed BDS in 2017. The rest quit when we backed a permanent ceasefire. We all believe in a free Palestine so settle your differences through debate and democracy, not expulsions. Our movement needs to get bigger, not smaller.

My favorite genre of response so far is "you're virtue signaling by supporting a terrorist organization"
Until this point, DSA has been hesitant to declare solidarity with the Palestinian resistance. It's past time for that to change.

The worst type of people are framing this as "oh my god it's an unused golf course, do you want to solve the housing crisis or not?" But the YIMBYs aren't trying to build housing on this land, they're trying to build investment opportunities
The membership of Denver DSA has voted to endorse a “NO on 2O” position - denying the developers the ability to execute a plan that we think is ultimately a loss for the city.

This bad tweet is the single most unifying event of 2024 for DSA
The biggest weakness the left/DSA face that I don’t think they understand that they face is the degree to which they’ve been captured and co-opted by trust funders who have literally no stake in the outcome of any public policy issue.
It is a real thing.

I know it's uncomradely to criticize or whatever but it's also bad to lie when giving your rationale for or against a motion so I guess we're even
Just for the record, nobody talked to Dean, Dean’s campaign, DSA SF’s electoral board, or City Hall staff about the resolution the NPC voted on today.

I once dated a communist. He was a joyless person who felt profound guilt in anything that wasn't liberating the working class. He refused to get a job because it meant he'd be taking a job from an immigrant, which meant I was working 15 hours a day to try to keep us off the
