Kareem Elrefai, a New York member who was elected to the NPC at the end of the convention, said that resolution was one of his biggest takeaways from the weekend, steering DSA in a power-building direction. He recounted that the body debated whether their 2028 candidate should run as a Democrat or a third-party candidate, but he was happy with the ultimate outcome. “There was an amendment that would have strongly urged us to go independent. I am very excited that it has kept us on the Democratic Party ballot line, not because I’m a proud Democrat, certainty not by any means,” he said. “Third-party agitational campaigns fail pretty consistently.”

Oops! All reform!


You clearly have no understanding of socialism with Chinese characteristics or basic Leninist principles like democratic centralism. Try learning first instead of spouting nonsense.


It’s ridiculous to compare the DSA to the CPC. Even if many members within the DSA claim to be communist, the DSA organization itself claims to be reformist not communist. The DSA does not put any effort in developing an independent working-class party, and they directly claim not to be a party at all. Their endorsed candidates are Democrats. There are communist parties in the US, but the DSA is clearly not one of them.


Do they plan on running on the Democrat ticket again?
Yep, it’s what they do. The DSA is explicitly not a party and they’re explicitly reformist.


Well, if it’ll make me happy again…


So true. Wish i could sign my rights away to someone else in need 😔
Not involved, just sharing
