The women's march was good, met lots of people interested in DSA and got them pamphlets n signed up for stuff. The only counter protest I saw was one dude wearing a shirt saying something about women belong in the kitchen or something but that was it.

We were walking to a booth we had set up for after the march when we walked past him. He saw our signs and said something like "Democratic Socialists? You're next" which I don't think he even knew what he was saying. I guess he wanted to see us later and trigger us?

There's no income requirement for which dues to pay, it operates on the honor system. If paying dues at a certain level could put you in a bad spot in the near future, go ahead and do the low income option. I'm sure there are also members in your chapter who will help pay for dues if necessary. If I were in your spot, I'd do the $27 tier, and when employment is a bit more stable, do the $45 tier or the monthly payment plan. Chucktesla has issued a correction as of 04:27 on Feb 10, 2018 |

The children will get their schooling, but only when the teachers make more than starvation wages. Until then, they can join the picket

There's one floating around that was started by a rumored anti-union teacher so I'd hesitate backing that one until we find out more. Also it looks like we're gonna have to go on chapo

Iridium posted:yeah, exactly why i was checking. =( Here's the better post about the whole deal Tricky Dick Nixon posted:Hey the OK teacher's strike is very exciting for us and worth supporting but I'd hesitate to donate any money just yet. It's not very clear who the organizers are and how the money will be spent. We're hearing from some teachers that the main organizers are anti-union and that there's a split across party lines. As well, there was previously an effort to hijack activist efforts to try and pressure the Democratic caucus to support the Republican regressive tax plan over a similar issue (btw there's an insane amendment in our constitution that requires a supermajority for any revenue increase so that is partially why we are dying a horrible painful death.) We're doing our research here and likely setting up a solidarity fund to help replace school lunches but we're trying to get in touch with the rank and file first.

I've heard people rationalize it by saying Liz is personally anti choice but she doesn't care if someone else is pro choice which isn't great. But they rationalize it because Liz is at a big boy paper saying positive stuff about socialism

Do they also count soviets who died fighting nazis too? Because those numbers together are close to like 30 million

punk rebel ecks posted:Now fast forward to forty minutes later after much back and forth, a member attending the meeting has a question. He's white, blonde, hair, no older than 20, and looks as autistic as you can possibly imagine. He begins by telling us that he is new and this is his first meeting. The question he asks is "I believe I heard that *insert Mexican-American candidate who spoke earlier's name* said that she was once a business owner. Why do we allow people to come in here and speak if they are part of the bourgeois class? We are a socialist party and should stick to our socialist values and shouldn't show such candidates support." Needless to say, while he was speaking EVERYONE was looking down on the floor. The two guys I mentioned previously got up and said "I want to punch you in the face!" and "I'm quitting my membership. You guys are nutcases!" and walked off. The kid who spoke sat back down and didn't seem self-aware of how much of a dumbass he made himself look. This is perfect

In Oklahoma we might get a democratic governor partially because of the changing attitudes on the GOP but also because the Libertarian party might pull enough votes to just barely give a dem the win just like they did in 2002 so there might be a chance of that happening here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_gubernatorial_election,_2002 But I mainly posted about this because lol Seahawk receiver Steve Largent was almost our governor

The dsa barely registers with dems too in that poll. At least it was smart to latch the org to M4A, which even has a plurality of GOP voters who support it. (If you don't tell them it will raise their taxes)
