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.

I like Draper's 1967 essay Who’s going to be the lesser-evil in 1968? but I think its dated references can be alienating to some people (even though the datedness of it kinda reinforces its argument).

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.

“In response to these crimes … the missile force and the naval force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint military operation targeting the American aircraft carrier Eisenhower in the Red Sea,” the movement’s military spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said.

“The operation was carried out with a number of winged and ballistic missiles, and the hit was accurate and direct,” he added.

Never let these people put this on you. It's on them. If Trump wins, it's their fault for not advocating against genocide and for a different candidate.

They're the ones not making a pragmatic choice. The only thing they're choosing to do is scold people, which doesn't work.

And if we are irrational, if we aren't being pragmatic, then why do they think they could reason with us? If we're unreasonable and Biden is reasonable, then they should be directing their talk to him if they actually want to stop Trump.

I figure with the possibility of the wars heating up, now would a good time to prepare lit/resources to demoralize military memebers and give advice on how to get out early.

Any one got any materials or links related to this?

Edit: found this which might be useful for legal avenues of quitting early

Mine is discussing only voting for candidates who publicly and unequivocally support ceasefire and ending military support for Israel, down to local officials.

My area has a large Arab & Muslim population though. Local Muslim organizers have been very clear on this stance already. At one rally, an iman said there was only one elected worth voting for in the whole county

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

For real, DPRK is one of the only countries that flatly rejects a two state solution.
