I only trust one pollster—the Center for Strategic Politics @StratPolitics
it’s easy to get confused when multiple members of the stop the demolition slate have donated to opponents of dsa and republicans

We’re all in for Mike Rogers. Join us tomorrow as we host an Early Vote Rally in support of our next Senator, Mike Rogers!

there are two guys on here who are constantly posting about nyc dsa even though they've both been expelled/suspended from the chapter for harassing people (or worse). kinda sums up twitter
layla also defends her donation to mariama james by calling her a "personal friend". mariama james is an unalloyed racist and islamophobe who thinks zohran is a "foreign influence" because he is muslim and south asian
layla law-gisiko is now claiming she just "found herself standing on the same sidewalk as vickie paladino" at a press conference. a photo from that event shows layla smiling and embracing vickie.
i don't want to mince words: this is conservative entryism into dsa.
if jeff blau joined dsa and ran for convention delegate i would hope to see tweets about him as well
they think this is bad because they don’t support dsa candidates (like how they spent the entire primary this year vocally supporting reynoso and calling claire a gentrifier)
recently i’ve been spending a lot of time outside penn station at 6 pm due to the location of the new DSA office and i have to say, harry styles concert attendees love to wear the worst/most insane outfits i’ve ever seen in my life
one of the people (Layla Law-Gisiko) on this slate literally owns a fucking dressage horse
you *think* you can get someone you're publicly endorsing in an election to stop allying with someone who openly wants to kill dsa members?
mallory mcmorrow please sue the wedgewood fraudsters jack sims and andrew prater 🙏
As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"
- Donations dried up
- Volunteers were devastated and pleading for guidance on what to do
- Reporters hounded me with calls to drop out
Sure, a point was proven. Polling is broken. But tens of thousands of people poured their hearts, time, energy, hard-earned money into something they believed in - for a year-and-a-half, and it was treated like a game. Our volunteers gave their all. And then some. I felt like I had let so many of them down.
To be extremely clear, Michigan Democrats are locked in to beat Mike Rogers. We WILL send @AbdulElSayed to the US Senate.
But between crap like this, endless fundraising texts that drive supporters away with spammy fake deadlines and trash "match" claims, scam PACs run rampant for firms to grift without actually supporting candidates, undisclosed content creators pushing content out either misrepresenting themselves as residents of states they don't live in or hiding whether they were paid and by who so they could make a buck, and the tidal wave of dark money ads -- I hope Democrats are ready to blow up the system with campaign finance and transparency reforms.
Trust is already at an all-time low. We don't get out of this mess without rebuilding trust.
And media - who loves to ride the drama of a pollercoaster - needs to take a hard look at what's legitimate and what's not.
If this teaches us anything - DON'T GET COMPLACENT AND DON'T TRUST THE POLLS.
LOCK IN. SIGN UP FOR A CANVASSING SHIFT. LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANCE OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

Earlier this year, one of @w2wdsa's slate members donated to defeat 2 of NYC-DSA's endorsed candidates, Illapa Sairitupac and Conrad Blackburn. They're both running for convention delegate as well.
Law-Gisiko also stood with white supremacist Vickie Paladino at a rally last fall
