Just so you know
If we do win this election it'll be no thanks to y'all, but hey if the fascists win it'll be your turn after right?

2024 Ranked Choice Voting Presidential Poll
This is the the sequel to my previous poll on the 2020 election.
Candidate Qualifications: In order to count as a candidate, they needed to stay in the race until the party’s first primary. After state primaries, candidates begin dropping out to coalesce around their party's nominee.
Additional polls: In addition, I added a poll for the House of Representatives and one on the Top Issues.

Which countries are best on the issue of Palestine?
Are there any which legitimately exercise pressure on Israel, and not just finger-wagging? Ireland or South Africa, maybe? It seems like their are only a few, of which many I suspect may be doing so out of more cynical motivations than they let on, like Iran or whatever. But I'm just looking to see if there are any better examples.

Has the dsa floated any "plan b" for when electoralism fails?
Keep hearing about fascism. Which is pretty serious acusation. Seeing how nazi germany was a democratic endeavor, whats your plan if electoralism fails?

Confused by the NYC DSA's endorsements
I know I've been out of the loop for a bit, but I wanted to vote according to DSA NYC endorsements and I was surprised by what I found...
Jamaal Bowman is still up. So is AOC. Is it out of date, or am I missing something?

Authors of History Who Avoid American Exceptionalism
I’ve been reading a good bit of socialist related theory but I’m interested in learning more about foundational American history - realizing I don’t know as much as I probably should. As we know a lot of history has been written from the perspective of American exceptionalism and I’m looking to avoid that where possible. I know all work has some sort of bias but I’m hoping for as little as possible to get the facts. I know Howard Zinn has some interesting work - I am curious what else is out there too.
Any recommendations on authors, specific books, podcasts, etc to learn from?
I’m very open to various parts of American history - the country’s founding, reconstruction, etc.
Look forward to any and all recommendations.

Washington State voting suggestions?
Other than the presidential election, I'm wondering what the best picks are for voting in the state of Washington. Sure, I'll vote for socialists when they appear but what about when they're not running for a particular office, or I have to choose between 2 democrats, and what about propositions? I'm looking for suggestions that most align with socialist values, labor rights and helping marginalized people

Who are you voting for?
Super curious how my fellow DSA comrades are voting in the presidential election.

Why are we paying for this?
Sorry if this has been asked before but I did not see it on a quick scroll through the Hot filter. Just became a new member and was browsing around the different links and noticed when I was on our X link that we were paying for verification. While I understand the need to be verified as the legitimate DSA that is not where my concern is. My question is why are we paying billionaire Elon Musk money for verification for a site that is bleeding users and increasingly hostile to leftist political thought? Why do we have a Facebook account but not a Threads account where verification is free? Or even a BlueSky's account the owners of whom seem a little more accepting of leftist ideas? Thanks for taking the time to read and answer.

Biden envoy told aid groups Israel too close an ally for US to suspend arms
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/16/biden-israel-arms-aid-00184028
Biden and Harris break both US and international law because Israel is too close an ally. We must not vote for Harris and instead call for both of them to be arrested and taken to the Hague for war crime trials.

Supporting Victims of Hurricane Helene in WNC
Greetings All,
I am a resident of Asheville, NC and an Organizer for Asheville Food and Beverage United.
We are a 501c5 Union registered under the RWU and NLRB.
It has been 20 days since Hurricane Helene came through, and it becomes more apparent every day just how much help my community will need for days, weeks, and years to come.
Right now, there is a demonstration happening outside the Buncombe County Courthouse, appealing to our state officials to push for a Rent, Mortgage, and Eviction Moratorium for areas affected by Helene.
Please consider supporting our cause by doing a call-in to any of the officials listed below, advocating for the housing vulnerable communities in my area.
Find AVLFBU's approved call-in script here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1goW7xXGqGSa92kiAwjMrGk8kFizZteZ1-sFF9sidRlw/edit?tab=t.0
Thank you.
