Conservatives are killing American science.
They've obliterated & politicized research grants. They've obliterated every scientific agency.
It may take a decade to recover from this skill loss & career disruption.

Gallup, YouGov, any pollster you like tells the same story: Most Dems were not liberal until ~2020-2024 period.
Will you admit this fact?

For an immediate contrast: Local Democratic clubs DO endorse candidates.
Guess what else they do? (Not all, but most I know of.)
Charge dues. Because they are little (quasi-)parties. They need to pay for party activities & identify voters for internal votes on endorsement.

It's genuinely funny when *neoliberals* call DSA small
Your largest dues-paying organization is in the range as Trotskyists and Maoists!

"DSA claims to allow internal dissent, but I haven't seen any in practice."

One reason I like this data: Size matters!
There's so much DISCOURSE, online & historically, about tiny groups with zero impact. Does history balance on what the 12 writers for Maoist Newspaper #389 think? No!
Example: The "patsoc" American Communist Party, of ENDLESS Twitter drama, is 300 dudes!

Fight the billionaires. They want to control your news, burn your planet, and kill your democracy.
Join the Democratic Socialists of America. Destroy the oligarchs before they destroy our country.

100,000 is not enough.
- America is bigger. In 1912, 1 in 850 people were SPA members. Just 1 in 3400 are DSA.
- We are diluted. SPA had socialist strongholds: In Milwaukee, 1 in 100 were SPA members! DSA does not: Just 1 in 600 New Yorkers are DSA.
We need a DSA of 500,000.

In 15 months, 50,000 members joined DSA. Why?
As in 2016, Trump's victory showed that centrist Democratic leadership cannot stop the threat of American fascism.
As in 2018, Zohran's victory showed that millions of Americans prefer social democracy to the neoliberal status quo.

Graph needs updating, but it makes the point
We've seen a massive expansion of leftist orgs (Our Revolution had about 120k dues-payers after Bernie, still about 60k) & progressive orgs (WFP has grown further to 600,000 donors).
The organized left is healthier than any time since 1944, at least.

This must become the norm. Everyone in the files needs every article about them to mention their ties to the billionaire pedophile cabal.

This anarchist after-action report is better than 99% of the genre. Lists the action's successes & failures; explicitly notes protests are spectacle!
It grapples a bit with strategy. It's not comparing alternatives, weighing trade-offs. It ends with a call to action. But what's the action, exactly?

Intra-left debates often pivots from strategy ("optimal protest form") to freedoms ("the right to resist").
Relevant bit from Engels: Everyone has the right to revolution. That doesn't mean we should start a failed one. Reactionaries want that, to throw our cause back by decades!
Strategy matters!

Federal agents do roughly the same thing.
Since the Church Committee, the FBI shifted from "kill leftists" to "entrap leftists". THEIR STRATEGY is to get you to agree to do illegal shit.
Anyone suggesting you do illegal shit is (almost always) a dumb larper or (rarely) a fed hoping to arrest you.

Reminder: Fascists love to infiltrate leftist protests to start fires & break shit.
Dozens of examples from BLM, including THE event associated with "riots".
It's THEIR STRATEGY to associate us with property damage and violence.
Because that dramatically lowers turnout & sours public opinion!

Now we just need to find the button that replaces centrist Dems like Crockett (careerist egoists, "I heard a social media rumor that James Talarico said something problematic")
