Unforgivable incompetence and/or feds sabotaging shit up to and including the whole organization being a psyop.
Social media was a mistake, especially using it to organize the left.
See my postulation above that the DSA itself is a psyop. Or maybe they're just that fucking incompetent, but honestly even for a bunch of twitter attention whores, that's really pushing it.
How do you have a nationwide organization, with chapters that operate semi-autonomously and focus on their own local communities, then select a committee without knowing a damn thing about these people from halfway across the country??? Where does that even begin to make sense.
Yeah, I'm legitimately pissed because I have actually argued with people in the past to give the DSA a chance, that they're moving left, I felt a little more hope for them out of this conference, and then I find out all of this.
We're all going to die in hellworld because of incompetent orgs and social media popularity contests.

Apparently the cop had leveraged the idea of southern representation for his campaign, at least this delegate was unaware of his past and says he would not have voted for him if he had known.
I doubt Larry website was aware of the guys past either
THE COP'S CAREER IS THE FIRST FUCKING RESULT WHEN YOU GOOGLE HIS NAME
But sure, keep digging for excuses and shifting the blame. That you were so pressured into voting for someone you knew fucking nothing about other than some Southern solidarity bullshit. The fact that you put your "lion's share" of votes behind a guy you knew nothing about other than where he is from is supposed to be vindicating and not make you look like a huge fucking idiot?
How am I supposed to feel confident in an organization this incompetent?
I'm a dsa member. The past few months shows me that all they will ever be is a centrist org that wins leftists with radical rhetoric.
DSA won't empower proletarians to organize against the state and capital–it will integrate them through uncritical unionism and electoralism.
DSA won't make contacts with communist or socialist proletarians in other countries–it will see closer and closer ties to new and reformulated parties that feed off the corpse of the Socialist International.
DSA won't execute, in tandem with proletarians, the breaking down of state-power and the implementation of communist measures during crisis situations–it will go halfway and stop those who do go the distance.
It's horizon isn't the international working class destroying capital and instituting communising measures, with its organization only one moment within the total process. It sees only organizational growth and governing as representatives of the working-class. Even the left of it has this horizon.
The NPC slates were only announced a couple weeks ago, and no there wasn't a lot of vetting, from my understanding most of the discussion was about the platforms of the separate slates.
Not to mention, the committee doesn't have that much power anyway, almost all the org's activity is coordinated on the local and state level. Chances are, this guy will be out of here in a couple days anyway.
In other words they're an efficient waste of time.
It's an issue of trust between chapters. Everyone else assumes that those local chapters would've done their due diligence by putting them and nominating them.
