In fairness it does seem kind of lovely and short-sighted for everybody to put out official statements claiming he intentionally obscured his past before any kind of due process took place.

Kind of lovely?

actually imo sick burns and manichaean thinking are totally good substitutes for thoughtfulness and fairness in a leftist movement

does anyone have any sick rose-themed merch they would like to show to convey their downness with the struggle

What can I say, I'm a big fan of understatement.

But yeah even as someone who agrees with the idea that he should step down because people probably wouldn't have voted for him had they known, making assumptions about people's motives like that based on no official information is bad mmkay.

He really thinks everyone who has concerns about his past were manipulated into doing so, which isn't a good look.

It seems like everyone who has concerns over his past was in fact manipulated into doing so though? You can be manipulated into arriving positions that you still sincerely believe.

Considering this was all started by the fake linkedin page, which was made in advance and ended up being the source of most of the anger, the manipulation is really kind of obvious and undeniable right?

Also I feel like the "local autonomy" thing is a response to the (several?) petitions calling for him to be kicked not off just the NPC but out of the Austin DSA as well, or to the voices calling for the Austin DSA to no longer be recognized. I'm guessing, anyway.

It's not the best statement but I don't think its horrible either.

And? That has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you were manipulated into being upset about it. Which you were, whether or not it was possible it could have happened otherwise that's how it happened in THIS reality.

Also, jarofpiss do you mind if I spread that cop-helping-strikers story around?

its the New Members group so it contains 100% of the people who just recently joined because they heard about it from Online and because it's a large facebook group where any of the members can post, actual content gets drowned out by Extremely Outraged posts with tons of equally outraged replies

they really need to clean the place up it's been completely garbage for like the last month at least

What was up with this by the way? From what I understand there were a couple chances for a break and we rejected them all:

-Bernie 2020 Third Party Resolution (which rightfully went down after it was pointed out Bernie himself doesn't want to run third party), but also

-Resolution that said an independent socialist party should be the long term goal. I think this was tabled for further research into its legal implications but it was surprising how few seemed to support it. And finally,

-A rather mild and factual statement to be added to the priorities resolution that the Democrats are our competitors, which was voted down. What gives?

either the dsa isn't radical enough for you right now and they will be later, or they will never be. up to you whether you wanna stick it out imo

I know that "party newspaper" is kind of a meme at this point but this is a situation where having a journalist dedicated to unbiased coverage would be incredibly helpful. Not only for getting out accurate information about incidents like this after the fact, but having someone to vet candidates and report findings before elections (instead of relying on self-criticism) could help prevent something like this in the first place!

On that note, I haven't seen anyone seriously talking about trying to figure out who made the fake LinkedIn page. That seems pretty important to me.
