The American equivalent of this wouldn't be a coalition with democrats. Macron is not in the popular front, the centrists are their own bloc.
The closest comparison for us would actually be a unified alliance of orgs ranging from PSL to WFP. A very difficult task
The revolutionary spirit lives on in France! The New Popular Front brought together the left and center-left to defeat the threat of fascism and win a plurality of seats in parliament.

This is actually crazy because Jordan is a country whose entire existence is this careful balancing act.
A response like this is extremely rare and politically dangerous on an existential level for the Kingdom of Jordan

I despise that this is overshadowing all the work Y/DSA is doing right now for Palestinian liberation
We have members being arrested , getting their skills cracked in, being under siege by pigs, and this shit is what people on here think when DSA is brought up im so pissed
We encourage the NPC and DSA Union to lower the temperature of discourse over the budget, agree to an MOU acceptable to both parties and preserving some degree of Tech staffing, and allow DSA to move forward and meet this moment in the movement for the liberation of Palestine.

If re endorse AOC, this is the base we are courting while alienating the base on the ground protesting right now
Make no mistake the AOC endorsement debate isn't just another discourse
It is a critical codification of which base DSA wants to court. People will leave either way
Protest the War but do not advocate for violence against our Jewish brothers and sisters. There is no place for that in a peace movement nor in a movement for freedom. It mirrors the horrors that we are witnessing every day in Gaza now.

If you have to compromise with power for power, that's not actually power, that's barrowing legitimacy, and this is coming from a pro electoral socialist
People hate AOC bc her enormous popularity validates the idea that participating in electoral politics can grow the socialist movement. She also reveals the compromises winning power entails. Some people wanna go back to being a tiny club that’s right all the time. They’re wrong.

I condemn those celebrating the innocents killed on October 7.
This dark day was the largest attack on the Jewish community since the Holocaust. Celebrating it is antisemitic and unacceptable. Peace cannot be achieved by weaponizing our tragedies against each other.

Alright so people have critiqued the idea of left and right in DSA and there's been a bunch of attempts to pin it down beyond vibes. Why is GW right? Why is B&R left?
My conclusion at this point is that the actual critical dividing line in the org is the opinion on popfrontism
Yesterday, Nithya Raman broke 50% in her primary race against Republican-turned-Democrat Ethan Weaver, bypassing a runoff and cementing DSA-LA as winners for the working class.

All love to people organizing on the ground, but a piece like this without acknowledging the teamsters shift to supporting the GOP and making no real critique, makes this triumphalism hollow.

This may shock you, but a national organization has different opinions and constituencies across the country.
If Bowman was in San Francisco, I'm not sure he would have gotten in nor somewhere like Seattle or Connecticut.
MDC or LA? Definitely
Unsure about Chicago tbh
NYC-DSA's membership voted to endorse Jamaal Bowman with 85% support while DSA national leadership seriously considers un-endorsing AOC. It seems like the national organization may have a structural problem with membership governance.
