YDSA (the student wing basically) just finished its convention. Here is noted old David Duhalde, who is stepping down from DSA leadership to help lead Our Revolution.

this is true, purges are for parties with standards (good or bad.) the DSA wants to be like canada's NDP, bolstering its lower ranks with a broad stripe of leftist voters and volunteers who feel like they have no other options but keeping them out of the "realistic" middle and upper leadership so that they can maintain strategy and policy acceptable to the status quo of the western imperialist political class

so how'd this shake out?? VERDICT: fortuitously wrong about this crew not badmouthing Democrat presidents, unfortunately right about them all turning out to be rapists. We'll check in next bisemiennial to see if i'm bi or dead or what's up then okay i love you bye bye.

I’m gonna be 90 years old in a nursing home and unable to recognize my own children but I’ll be able to reminisce about the time BonerTrotsky69 blocked Smol Heckin Bordigist for liking a Turing Police tweet.
