got me there
Kareem Elrefai, a New York member who was elected to the NPC at the end of the convention, said that resolution was one of his biggest takeaways from the weekend, steering DSA in a power-building direction. He recounted that the body debated whether their 2028 candidate should run as a Democrat or a third-party candidate, but he was happy with the ultimate outcome. “There was an amendment that would have strongly urged us to go independent. I am very excited that it has kept us on the Democratic Party ballot line, not because I’m a proud Democrat, certainty not by any means,” he said. “Third-party agitational campaigns fail pretty consistently.”

Oops! All reform!


You clearly have no understanding of socialism with Chinese characteristics or basic Leninist principles like democratic centralism. Try learning first instead of spouting nonsense.


It’s ridiculous to compare the DSA to the CPC. Even if many members within the DSA claim to be communist, the DSA organization itself claims to be reformist not communist. The DSA does not put any effort in developing an independent working-class party, and they directly claim not to be a party at all. Their endorsed candidates are Democrats. There are communist parties in the US, but the DSA is clearly not one of them.


Yeah, it’s nice to customize. I find reading from marxists.org to be annoying. Feels better to get an epub of the book and read with koreader.


Do they plan on running on the Democrat ticket again?
Yep, it’s what they do. The DSA is explicitly not a party and they’re explicitly reformist.


Thank you for the reply. It’s so crazy but widespread enough that the gaslighting sometimes sinks in and makes me feel crazy.

You’re so right that many just don’t care to listen to the transsexual experience. Even just the label itself gets dismissed as “outdated.”


It’s so frustrating to see “internalized transphobia” get thrown around by “allies” (transphobes) to shut down trans voices who dared express their own personal experience and struggles with dysphoria and transitioning.
It’s gaslighting and transphobia disguised as “progressive.” Conservative opinions but rephrased.
When people like myself say we have a brain-body mismatch, even plenty of leftists try to explain in a round about way that actually that’s wrong and we’re just men in dresses.


Well, if it’ll make me happy again…


So true. Wish i could sign my rights away to someone else in need 😔


That confuses me why anyone would reject treatment. I wouldn’t wish being trans on anyone, it’s traumatizing growing up in the wrong body and being harassed for it.


Huh? Why do you have a problem with those of us who have a medical condition? I didn’t ask to be born in the wrong body. But I was, and medical treatment is absolutely necessary for me and others with the condition.
Thank you for saying this!
