I am listening to the Jacobin Dig podcast and they actually have a really interesting interview. Basically these 2 people are representing themselves as having been part of the inner cadre who planned this whole mayor thing from the start. Like obviously with other people, but this isn't an interview with 2 rando members of DSA.

(It would be very bold to be taking credit for this if they were full of shit. But I would like if anyone with direct knowledge can confirm.)

Link: How Zohran Won w/ NYC DSA 01 Jul 2025 mp3

They have no transcript and only this short summary:

Featuring NYC DSA co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser on how Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primary. NYC DSA spent years building an electoral juggernaut that has now made history and offers a model for the left everywhere across the United States. A behind-the-scenes look at how NYC DSA and the Zohran campaign did it!

But they are talking about questions I asked in an earlier thread which I'll just kind of summarize below so you will know if you are interested in the same things. It is 2hrs long at 1x speed so this isn't comprehensive.

• To what extent was he "sent" by DSA?
• How responsible was DSA for these 40k canvassers?
• Is there any mechanism of accountability to DSA in place here?
• Does he plan to consult them when he's in power?
• Will they have any influence?
• If Mamdani is elected mayor and he does something totally contrary to the DSA, what do they do about it?
• Is DSA recruiting from the 40k canvassers?
• Are new people showing up to their meetings?

Not yet discussed:

• What's it like to be in the NY DSA right now?
• how many of new recruits are spies sent by Bill Ackman?

This isn’t mine but something I found on the Ireland subreddit. Apparently there bare a bunch of American tourists in Killarney in the summer and they do a “July 4th Parade” for them which is so unbelievably cringe to me. It’s great that plenty of folks in Ireland aren’t standing for this nonsense, though, and making themselves heard there.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us , and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

Domestic Insurrections in this case are actually slave revolts, which SSettlers believed were being directly incited by the British officers.

The British signed peace deals banning SSettlements west of the Appalachians. The F***ding F***ers couldn't Imagine furthering western colonial expansion without a first having a revolution.

The American revolution may have been the first revolution for independence in the Americas, but it wasn't the first anti-colonial revolution. That would be Haiti. The world never forgave Haiti for that, even after it payed off all its debts to France for its loss of "property" during its anti-colonial war of independence.

You might be wondering how to organize during climate collapse. Here's how:

1. Do nothing.

2. If you are unfortunately building some org then here's what you should exclude: a) dumbdumbs that like are religious and shit (eww). b) dumbasses who have kids (fuckin moron) c) dumbos who read whatever tankie book

3. Give up, there is nothing to do

4. Vote

5. Educate other dummies who want some commie tankie utopia

6. Stop worrying about all those imperial wars or whateva, that's out of your reach (also are you really gonna think about these far away wartorn lands while there is collapse)

7. Do not go out

That's mostly it. Be a strong silent type. If some tankie fucker yells to you about socialism or barbarism, just say Oh poor you.
