At the onset of the convention, DSA leadership put forward a proposed agenda that did not include debate on proposed resolutions calling for the DSA to oppose the US/NATO war against Russia and opposing DSA elected officials’ support for the Israeli occupation of Palestine. While DSA leadership claimed there was no time for such discussion, the proposed agenda included ample time to debate a resolution making an image of a rose holding a “vote” sign the DSA’s “official mascot.”
Yet the DSA made a resolution to back the DNC and basically funnel leftist organizing and energy for more DNC turncoats. How’s that #FrauDSquAd doing? Defaulting to a psudo Republican Biden, gaslighting thier supporters that he’s the “next FDR” by barely doing a fraction of what needs to be done and expanding the war machine.
Their DSA - DNC candidates just defaukt to DNC leadership and nothing chnages. They just move further to the right once they get elected. The DSA is captured by the DNC. I’m sutr there are plenty of well meaning ML in the DSA, but they are fools for giving the DNC life support. It would be far more productive to get some Greens, SA, or even CPUSA in office. That way the candidates don’t need to be controlled by the DNC and Democrats will be forced to compromise with actual leftists for once instead of just deferring to the Republicans all the time.

Delegates rejected by a 60-40 percent margin a proposed amendment to the electoral resolution which would have added language “that it is DSA’s expectation that socialists in elected office will vote and act in accordance with core principles of the socialist movement.” Though this amendment also acknowledged that “a majority of DSA members do not believe it is possible at this time to form an independent political party with its own ballot line,” delegates evidently still found it too extreme.
I mean did they or did they not resolve to remain enabling a war mongering crap-it-all-ist party with the DNC?
You don’t need a new party. There are already leftist parties that exist. Why do DSA / DNC people seem to forget this?
It’s like talking to a brick wall. How many times must you all learn this lesson?
A vote for a corporate warmongering party is demand for more corporate war mongering. The DNC doesn’t care if you are a ML or which is voting against your interests.
