André Vasquez, who was elected to Chicago’s City Council last year as a socialist, has voted in favor of the mayor’s budget. The Chicago DSA has censured him. This raises a big question: How can a socialist organization make its elected representatives accountable?
To be fair the other remaining 4 DSA alder people did vote no for this budget as they should have. So fortunately it's just one bad dude out of 5. It's not ideal but its still a really good effort by the DSA here in Chicago and I hope they can flip more seats in the next election too. If 4/5 seats the DSA earn each election actually stick with the DSA we're like 20 years away from full communism with just that. So. Critical support for CDSA right now with this
