Will DSA Come Out in Support of #ForceTheVote? w/ Michael Lighty
youtu.be

Yes this is brie talking about force the vote.

But the real message is that the dsa and M4a activist and organizers have no real idea or plan what they are doing other than talking. I don't really know how you get more grifting than all these Ngo political orgs.

    How can they have power to enact socialist policies through a bourgeois capitalist apparatus designed to block them?

        Exactly so why are they ramming their head against a wall with all their might?

          In this instance they're not? The DSA spokesperson (who I would say is broadly right on the overall chapter attitude) is tacitly saying that putting resources into forcing the vote is dumb, there's better stuff chapters are already doing. A relatively small amount of DSA time and money goes into electoral stuff overall tbh and the majority of what is done is focused on local races. That stuff is more important than the congress seats (which are still important though so they get some resources, and are also one of the best recruitment strategies for bringing in new members, and other logistical benefits like constructing new power networks, but these cannot be done on the timeframe of a push for force the vote that would be disruptive to ongoing campaigns).
