I have only seen national DSA leadership oppose the idea or turn it into a personality contest with Jimmy Dore.

How is that democratic at all?! They are openly contradicting the democratically-decided party line…

What an absolutely shit organization.

Here's the quote:

2019 presents a unique opportunity for the Democratic Socialists for Medicare for All campaign: to be a key player in pushing HR 1384, the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act, to a vote in the House of Representatives. DSA is not alone in this work. National Nurses United, along with nearly 30 other national and local unions and progressive organizations are coordinating to take advantage of this moment. Since Bernie Sanders’ presidential run in 2016, single-payer advocates have been successfully turning Medicare for All into a litmus test for politicians. A floor vote in the House will force representatives to finally reveal whether they’re on the side of healthcare profiteers or the side of the working class.

    Yes, of course, M4A is so widely popular with Americans and they are so organized in that effort that…wait, who won the Democratic primary?

    Because people wanted to get "Cheeto mussolini" out of the white house and voted on the basis of electability. The circumstances are different now.

    This specific statement sounds like you have no believe whatsoever in the capacity of the US working class to be engaged in a struggle to improve their material conditions, and that is, in all earnesty, a form of liberalism.

      No, I believe that the working class has the capacity to engage in struggle to improve their material conditions. What I don't believe is that people like you or the person I was responding to are in any way capable or organizing them to that end.

        Ad hominem attacks, very nice.
