After over four decades as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, one of the group’s founding members is leaving in sorrow and anger.

This vibes anecdotally with my local chapter. In the face of overwhelming membership solidarity with Palestinian liberation, the social imperialist reactionaries are purging themselves.

    She said "lifelong" as though like she was a member before. Wikipedia says "several years".

    PS til she's older than the DSA.

      I misunderstood who was the lifelong member. The writer of the article claims to have joined the DSA during its founding, not Sarah Silverman.

        Yeah the author claims to have joined during the found but Silverman also said.

        The DSA of which I was a proud lifetime member.

        She must have been exaggerating.
