Superdelegates are the minority of overall delegates. They could easily tip the scales in a contested primary. But Biden had an overwhelming number of the regular delegates committed to him since he was the only candidate.

Makes me wonder if anyone is kicking themselves for not running against him in the primary

This.

Had some crypto Zionist come to a meeting once where we were discussing Palestine (some years ago). They kept trying to bring up irrelevant talking points (how many states should there be? Do we want Islamists to win elections? What about Jewish persecution in x? Lebanon is persecuting christians! Jews aren't allowed in Palestine! Etc.)

The simple fact was and is that the US, our government, supports an ongoing settler colonial project including genocide.

This is typical wrecker behavior: get people arguing about shit that's irrelevant to the goal you're organizing around. Fortunately, we didn't fall for it much, wasted maybe half an hour on them. But we shouldn't have waste any time.

When I was young, we had to go to our friends' houses to watch someone else play video game.

I choose to believe this truck driver is JDPON

Dudes in the past use to wear much shorter shorts too. Clothing takes on gendered meaning in a cultures relative time and place, so I don't think there's anything intrinsically masculine or feminine etc. about the length of one's trousers.

So idk, shits complicated

DSA has major problems. However, in its defense, I'll quote myself from another comment in this thread:

In contrast to my perception of CPUSA, DSA hasn't devolved into false demcent (i.e. "bureaucratic centralism"). While DSA has big problems (and needs more centralism), it does actually have sufficient internal democracy necessary to engage in two line struggle, because of that it has the potential (however small) to build consensus among the US left cross-tendency.

You cite actions taken by significant elements of DSA that are bad. I agree this is concerning. However, structurally DSA has greater capacity to critique this due to its internal democracy (which still needs improvement). I'm not sure any other left formations in the US have this capacity developed to the same level.

how do you manage to be on the Right of the DSA??

One of DSA's co-chairs (highest elected leaders of the org) is a member of the caucus that wrote the "Do you commend Hamas?" article.
