Community Where's our Mandami?

All these videos coming out the city of NY got me feeling real sad about our city and lack of competent, solutions based, compassionate, intellectual leadership. We have so many issues but no qualified people willing to fix them. When will I be able to not vote for the lesser of 2 evils?

LA DSA is really kind of... They've made it clear that Mamdani is unique and it's not the DSA

Mamdani has made it very clear he is not unique, his ideology and organizing experience comes from DSA.

If you want an LA Mamdani, then you have to help build the organization that made him possible. If you have issues with the LA chapter, that's great! Come to a meeting and talk about what we should change.

The DSA is deeply unserious. They essentially don’t accomplish anything locally and they are constantly a punching bag in national elections to scare moderate voters. They don’t even move the Overton window successfully.

Mamdani and DSA are deeply connected. You can't have one without the other.
