Why I Just Quit DSA (www.thenation.com)

This vibes anecdotally with my local chapter. In the face of overwhelming membership solidarity with Palestinian liberation, the social imperialist reactionaries are purging themselves.

She was probably part of the 2016 membership drive during the Sanders campaign. She was a vocal Sanders supporter for a while so I could believe it. A bunch of celebrities are in the DSA. I know Tim Heidecker is a member too. So is Adam McKay, the guy who wrote Anchorman.

She said "lifelong" as though like she was a member before. Wikipedia says "several years".

PS til she's older than the DSA.

I just remember her at the democratic national convention telling bernie bros to be quiet and back hillary or joe. (which ever year it was)

I misunderstood who was the lifelong member. The writer of the article claims to have joined the DSA during its founding, not Sarah Silverman.

Yeah the author claims to have joined during the found but Silverman also said.

The DSA of which I was a proud lifetime member.

She must have been exaggerating.
