    LOL what. Honestly they should kick her out or ban her from DSA. Of course they’ll suck up to her and she’ll use them to get what she wants and throw them away just like always. When will the DSA learn

      When will the DSA learn

      Learn what? Isn’t this what the DSA is for?

      My guess would be never but at least not until the US collapses.

    Regardless of her and the DSA’s politics, you shouldn’t be allowed to do this. You shouldn’t be allowed to just rejoin an org after pretending like that org didn’t exist for so long.

      apparently DSA is like the Democratic party, in the sense that anyone can just waltz in

      What makes you say that? For the people this can be because they learn and grow or forget and remember. In the case of her we know it is just the performance or appearance but do not ruin it for others.

    Didn’t she make a point of being a member of NYDSA and not national on a recent interview ?

      DSA chapters get their membership from national. You can only join national and get your chapter assigned based on your zip code.

      If NYCDSA is allowing people to join them directly then that would be a big deal.

      IIRC she had NYCDSA’s endorsement but not national.

      Edit from this article:

      Earlier this month, in an interview on ABC, host Jonathan Karl asked Ocasio-Cortez whether she was still a member of DSA. She responded: “Of the New York City chapter.”

      Fucking NYCDSA

    It’s because she’s single and she’s doing the “DSA guy” thing.

    In the 1900s many rightwing opportunists would call themselves “socialist” to drum up support.

    Alexandria Ocaϟϟio-Cortez, aka AOCIA, is a careerist accomplice to mass-murder and the kindest fate she deserves is to share a Hague cell with the others. Between her votes to send weapons to Israel during its active and very public genocide of Palestinians, and her running cover for noted enthusiastic genociders Biden and Harris, she should be unwelcome in any ethical organization. If DSA accepts tying itself to her, then DSA can get fucked. If DSA accepts her membership, then DSA is forever cancelled.

    (I say “if” as if there’s any doubt that DSA will spit on Palestinian corpses in order to “build power” so as to do nothing good with said power. )
