    Are you saying we should depend on the DSA and the squad? Do you think the squad would be affected if they lose the DSA's endorsement (assuming that would even happen)

      I'm saying there is an actual real option here beyond just shouting at the injustice in the world. You have people who can cause meaningful harm to the president's agenda. You also have orgs who's denouncements would cause meaningful harm to the fundraising and reputations of the people with that power. If organizing isn't to exploit opportunity like this then what is it for?

        BDS and organizing isn't shouting at injustice...

        I get what you're saying and would encourage anyone who can to pressure the DSA and the squad but just don't put too much importance or hope on that and instead take action 🙂

          I guess I just don't really get why there should be any resistance to do this when the whole point of BDS or organizing is to eventually put us in this exact position. We got lucky with the House margins and if we don't do this now there are no opportunities in the foreseeable future.
