i want abdul to win but publicly admitting that DSA is knocking doors for a self proclaimed capitalist that has said he doesn’t want our endorsement is crossing a line and antithetical to the party we’re trying to build
dsa is a never ending cycle of tiered endorsement attempts

Sorry but you cannot be emailing the democratically elected national political committee of DSA things like "you need us more than we need you" as a NYC chapter treasurer, that's fucked up and uncomradely behavior and absolutely warrants a public letter of rebuke from membership

Sign the letter! I believe that DSA is strong because we have everyone from Maoists to Socdems in the org. Yelling at each other over policy is normal and healthy. But when you threaten to split, like NYC-DSA is, you cross a line that could set the left back decades!

No matter how heated things get (including from me personally) separationist attitudes are out of the question. We can’t repeat the mistakes of the past in splitting up like some *seem* to be suggesting

this is what stuck out at me. candidates mamdani endorsed that NYC-DSA didn’t still ran best in areas where the emerging base was most concentrated, but it was DSA endorsees who were able to squeeze the most juice out of the lemon. this is, simply put, The DSA Difference™️ babey
NEW: In 2025, Mayor Mamdani’s campaign brought hundreds of thousands of voters into New York’s primary electorate. In 2026, enough of them came back to change the baseline forever. My precinct-by-precinct look at the electorate that didn’t vanish. (link in replies)

This election should not even be close, but Kotek has governed as a corporate centrist, ushering in an era of data center build out and abuse, empowering Reaganites to make recommendations on tax policy, trying to kill Preschool for All, and much more.
🚨THIS IS NOT A JOKE: Republican Christine Drazan leads incumbent Governor Tina Kotek in "solid blue" Oregon. Oregon - 2026 Governor 🟥Christine Drazan 48% (+4) 🟦Tina Kotek* 44% Kotek defeated Drazan by merely 3% in 2022 and polling shows this 2026 rematch will be just as close. Oregon is now a potential pickup for the GOP as November nears. Public Opinion Strategies | June 22-24, 2026 | 600 RV More Polls: @Pollsmax

The Portland Metro Chamber (almost certainly) is back on their red scare bullshit. If you get this push poll, let us know!

As of the end of June DSA has surpassed the Socialist Party of America to become the largest socialist party in the history of the USA.
very soon, if not already, DSA is going to surpass the all time peak membership of the Socialist Party of America. DSA is the successor to the party of Eugene Debs and it's wonderful to see our organization embodying and begining to live up to that legacy.
