You deride it as "purist" but they are attracting voters who want to end the politics of violating basic human rights. Those voters want a real oppostion to MAGA. 110
Jay-of-Blue @jayofblue.bsky.social · 12/10/2026If that was true, then why are the NYC or Detroit DSA, who are interested in and will to do coalition building, growing faster than practically than every other DSA branch nationally? Defending humans rights doesn't and shouldn't require a test of ideological purity. 200
mskathleenquinn.bsky.social @mskathleenquinn.bsky.social · 12/10/2026But they are interested in building new coalitions and they are not going to accommodate people who don't fit in with their goals. Yes, defending human rights these days does mean being uncompromising about abolishing ICE, defending stateless people, ending genocide. 010
