Once you accept lying as a political strategy you become the willing victim of con artist politicians forever
Funny thing I’m not seeing really discussed here is that if we accept that Nithya Raman is willing to lie to her constituents to “Trojan horse” her agenda, then how do we guarantee that she isn’t lying to DSA about positions WE ask her about? Is DSA-LA immune from the subterfuge?

As a Floridian I know this won’t change anything bc Angie Nixon said the same bullshit and the DSA right loves her
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist? "I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people." She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate. Interview via @InsidePolitics on @CNN

This film is an incredible work of Christian devotion. Naturally, American audiences regarded it as deeply sacrilegious. Interestingly it has basically the same plot as The Crucible and comes to similar moral conclusions despite not being written by a communist. Worth watching!

Cults target people experiencing crisis and offer them a social support network that slowly transforms into a management structure for labor exploitation. There are plenty of organizing tactics churches employ that we can too, but the megachurch model should not be replicated.
82% of megachurch attendees join by personal invite, vs 21% of DSA members, who mostly self-select online We have a lot to learn on how to develop members into organizers

The idea that DSA should do more in person recruiting is incredibly banal, obviously correct, and did not require a detailed study to prove. This is academic busy work dressed up as groundbreaking research.

I’ve never seen this proposal and it hasn’t been submitted to the NPC. Christian is innovating a bold internal organizing strategy here:
Replying to @CEAraos
I’m disturbed that instead of developing collective solutions on how municipal government can help end the genocide, there are template resos being circulated to chapters that call on members of LA DSA to be expelled for even working with the Raman campaign.

Had a great time visiting @PalmBeachDSA today and learning about all the cool projects they’re working on! They even threw me a little pizza party after and we forgot to take pics until the last minute😂

We successfully pushed this to an upcoming special meeting of the NPC, where there will be another opportunity to remove it from executive session. DSA members deserve to know what their leaders are doing in meetings, and we will continue to fight for transparency.
Replying to @DSASocMaj
@DSASocMaj @GroundworkDSA (1 vote each) and @breadrosesDSA (2 votes) just used their majority on the NPC Steering Committee to hide our proceedings on the Nithya Raman issue from DSA members. We will now conduct that business in secret.

The fact this has to exist sucks and yet i support it here because it is the standard the right of NYC-DSA has made (and used plenty themselves) through 1m1v. if people are upset , they should vote for the W2W slate so the chapter can become an actual deliberative democratic org.
I live in Penn South and got this email. I'm all for organizing but recruiting neighbors to buy a $2 vote to pack our convention is just entryism and an affront to our member democracy.

Nithya Raman has chosen to represent a political vision of “progressive except for Palestine.” Convention has drawn a line in the sand that dozens of candidates across the county have bravely refused to cross. The NPC must not offer special treatment to one holdout.

The worst thing about the current NPC is that it consistently violates its own policy on executive session bc many of my colleagues are scared to argue their positions out in the open where DSA members can see. It’s set to happen again tonight with the Raman issue. Shameless.

The work @comradejumpshot and others have done in legitimizing the work of DSA in one of the most critical fights facing America’s cities—the demolition of public housing—is just so awesome.

I would understand tailing electeds if anyone in the US had half the sauce this guy does. I’d still disagree, but at least I could respect it.
French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon: They tell us, "We must reassure the markets." Reassure the markets? What are their names? Where do they live? Let me go and reassure them! What market? What are you talking about? There is no market. There are hedge funds, financial companies and insurance companies.
