May 2025: DoorDash spends $1 million to stop a democratic socialist from winning the mayoralty September 2026: DoorDash reaches a $131.5 million settlement with NYC's democratic socialist administration and admits to massive wage theft This is what's possible when you vote DSA

Following New York City lobbying push, DoorDash spends $1M on Cuomo's mayoral bid

The donation marks the largest of any in the crowded Democratic primary for New York City mayor.

Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the City’s delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and we’re deeply sorry.

We’ve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and they’ll be contacted directly with payment details.

We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. We’ve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again.

This logic would be destructive if applied to DSA's broader electoral project. Our voter base is primarily young college-educated renters; it's how we elected Zohran, Claire, Chris Rabb, etc. Should we not have endorsed them because of “demographic stereotypes”?

And now, as a coalition forms around her, is this the one that we see ourselves reflected in? She has support from wealthy Hollywood liberals like Natalie Portman, conservative unions like the Carpenters, grad student unions, and overwhelmingly white and wealthy liberal communities like Los Feliz. She has catered more to the Silverlakes than the Latino barrios in the Valley, on the East Side, or our Black and Brown communities in South Central.

DSA is strongest when we unite the working-class. We cannot build a durable base for socialism in Los Angeles with only the most well-off and educated constituents. Raman’s campaign pits an affluent, primarily white progressive bloc against Black Los Angeles and the largely Latino labor movement.

If DSA doubles down on supporting Raman in mobilizing and engaging this coalition, we also double down on the demographic stereotypes about DSA—that we are white, highly educated, “not working-class,” subcultured transplants. Her platform focuses on technocratic solutions like the theoretically best possible zoning policies rather than building power for the working-class by challenging capital. Instead, we should focus on campaigns that ground us in the lived realities and daily experiences of the broader multiracial working class in LA. This decision is not just another endorsement decision—it is truly a fork in the road for DSA-LA.
