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?
Oh, DSA is seen as a stepping stone. Our leadership is actually really intertwined with SRA and we have active relationships with some newly formed unions (nurses and an upstart service union). The service union is overtly socialist in their messaging.
Goodgoodgood, don't forget to suggest to your leadership to reach out and make connections with your local PSL, PCUSA chapters, and other revleft orgs so you can help/get helped on building up that good old dual power in your region.
The SRA guy is big on left unity and is involved with all the local orgs. We have a PSL chapter, but it's only like 20 people that chill at our local Kava lounge.

DSA is prime ground for radicalizing people.

is kava any good?
It's alright, I usually get kratom if I'm going. It gets you a little high, but nothing crazy. It's basically a methadone alternative
