yeah you’re right there should never be any differences in opinion

The entire DSA reeks of opportunism, "win-now" mentality, and moral grandstanding. to the many excellent and committed comrades in the DSA, leave this funnel for the democratic party and join a serious revolutionary organization. communistusa.org/join

My analysis of Tuesday night’s failure in MO-1: “We as DSA seemed to essentially follow the old and beaten path of canvassing in South Saint Louis neighborhoods where Cori was already strong, a pattern we recognize from 2024, when she was defeated the first time. This is a manifestation of pleasure and comfort seeking. People consistently asked why STL-DSA did not endeavor to seriously canvass in Black areas of the North Side and North County, save for a couple collaborations between our Streets Organizing Committee and the campaign for brake light clinics. Why didn’t we hit the Ville, JVL, Penrose, Fairgrounds, or O’Fallon like we did Tower Grove? Why did we not regularly do Ferguson, Florissant, Berkeley, and Dellwood? Comrades that live in North County criticized the fact that South City is inconvenient to access for them, especially via public transportation, yet a huge majority of our effort was expended in these areas that we really didn’t need to be canvassing in the first place. This South City localism is something that comrades have routinely criticized. We need to hold events all over the area. Thankfully, we have base groups to assist with this now. Electoral campaigns must be bound closely with mass work and mutual aid, intentionally and from day one, not as an afterthought. Our chapter did not even do any work of our own in North STL before the tornado struck last May, and even with regard to that, our local PSL chapter outshone us in mass work, setting up relief efforts the day after the storm. I and others on the chapter’s Left regularly pointed this out, and, to our credit, we have been correcting this through regular political education and the excellent work of our street organizing committee, of which I am the red rabbits subcommittee lead. We must continue. Dialectics means that everything is constantly in motion. If we can mobilize dozens of people to canvass the same neighborhoods over and over again in the city, we can mobilize dozens of people to attend demonstrations, assist with mutual aid, and canvass for non-electoral efforts. We did not hold social events, canvasses, mutual aid work, or mass work of any type in North STL, just as we had next to no organized presence in Palestinian solidarity events or encampments after October 7th. We, as a result, had no mass base in either North City or North County, areas where Cori lost heavily. In STL City proper, Cori did not win a single North City ward. These are areas that were decimated by the tornado, have been neglected monstrously by the City government, and are the poorest parts of the STL metropolitan area – in short, they are natural mass bases for socialism. It is only through neglect on our part that they remain almost untouched by DSA, and hopefully this loss sparks a sense of urgency among our comrades to join the Left in working to rectify it.” open.substack.com/pub/ogblac…

I’m gonna keep people’s names out of my mouth, but I gotta say this… Stop running as a DSA candidate if you only gonna rock with the platform when it’s convenient. You can be strategic without selling out your politics. But what you can’t do is waste people time.

low key starting to think the best strategy for all factions of DSA is to mute “DSA” on X the everything app

Does Red Star @redstarcaucus have an opinion/position on 1M1V?

Some ppl mad that Zohran spoke warmly of Obama. The collective left from Obama haters to Obama critical to Obama likers who have big issues with some of his specific policies/decisions has spent 10 years trying to address this. People still intensely love Obama. You lost, move on

If you want AOC to run for senate, you want her and the left to fail. Do you want to leave us to the wolves and make us choose Ro Khanna? Worse, do you want her young base to go to Harris or Ossoff so AOC can waste her life away? Conditions have never been better. Make the move.

Taking criticism does not mean refusing to analyze things that happen. For some reason now people on here are polarizing against the concept of agitational demands because Laclau was brought into it. Look at the base, they understand limits—the significance of this is not what you want to assign it
