as time has gone on, i've gotten much less sympathetic to concerns about the optics of "eat the rich/kill the rich" given that the entire American capitalist class is waging a decisive war to control the media and mechanisms of ideological reproduction for their own ends

the case against a Chi Ossé endorsement was already very strong but Velazquez's retirement should be the dagger because we can (and arguably should) just win NY-07 now

this is literally the most socialist congressional district in the country (and it's not close), expect this to completely upend NYC-DSA's electoral calculations and for a cadre member to run. no fewer than seven DSA elected officials represent some part of this district at another level of gov't

the vice chair of the Center for New Liberalism advocating for ending all tribal land designations and encouraging Native Americans to relocate and "integrate into modern society" feels like a pretty on-the-nose indicator of where self-IDed economic liberals are at right now

thinking about the countless number of people who have argued vehemently that DSA is not a major political force, and now we've elected the Mayor of New York City and he's weighing in (as a dues-paying, active member) on whether we should endorse a guy to primary Hakeem Jeffries

NYC-DSA will be considering an endorsement of Chi Ossé's run for NY-08 today and—while i support Chi's run otherwise—i completely oppose an endorsement of that run by NYC-DSA. i think endorsing him would be a serious, unforced error, and i hope you agree:

somehow, Will Stancil has arrived at the "there is no housing crisis, there are enough homes for everyone" position from a YIMBY perspective. honest to god might be a first-ever occurrence online, because you have to be incredibly stupid to manage to arrive at this position from those priors
“If you cherry-pick places where housing prices are high, housing prices are high”
This is transparently bad data practice. Yes, there are places where housing is more expensive than average. There are also places more affordable than average. About half, in fact. So what?

Will, my guy, you *gotta* look at city areas as opposed to the country as a whole, we’re a nation of urban islands surrounded by oceans of real estate, and the cities are where basically all economic value is generated.

total Prop 50 cultural victory as long as this ruling holds lmao
Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.
"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

how can it be "anti-Black" for these two candidates (who are hardly the final word on the subject anyways) to not back a Black primary challenger against a Black minority leader. what
AOC and Mamdani, arguably the two most prominent members of the DSA, allegedly choosing not to back Ossé in his potential primary run against Jeffries is certainly an interesting choice in the face of the NYC-DSA's reputation of being anti-Black

"The south is not racist because of its demography" is kind of the ultimate cope for these types of people because in 2024, an estimated 80% of white people voted for Donald Trump in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi and it's generously only 5-10% better in most of the non-Deep South
The south is not racist because of its demography - it’d the Blackest part of the country. It’s racist because of its history and also because of *rural* white enclaves — which exist all over the country

very serious chance that DSA could have a >50% win rate in races it endorses in this year. all it needs to do is sweep its remaining three runoffs (Joel Brooks and Jake Ephros in in Jersey City Council wards B and D; Stephanie Telles in Albuquerque City Council D1) and it'll have 51 wins, 50 losses
