I can tell ya that my DSA chapter says voting for Biden is a vote for democracy
democracy is euphemism for something else at this point
every politician (lol Cornel West) agrees that we must imitate ancient Greek/Roman society
I thought that's what freedom was the euphemism for but same difference
...wasn't Sparta like 90% chattel slavery?
Mine is discussing only voting for candidates who publicly and unequivocally support ceasefire and ending military support for Israel, down to local officials.
My area has a large Arab & Muslim population though. Local Muslim organizers have been very clear on this stance already. At one rally, an iman said there was only one elected worth voting for in the whole county
We haven’t even talked about what’s going on in Isn’treal
That's a good idea.
Lot of disagreement over it, so I don't think we'll have chapter wide consensus. However, the majority of active members seem swayed by the argument.
That's great.
The democracy:
This. Is. An. Investment. In. Democracy.
Oof, my DSA are half fucking MLs with a spattering of communists and anarchists and Tony, fuck you Tony you know what you did(be a liberal)
Better than voting against Biden lol
