The Democratic Socialists of America National Convention was held this weekend in Atlanta,
Georgia… It was as ‘entertaining’ and solutions-based as you might imagine…
“Solidarity forever”
Thank you comrades for an exhausting, frustrating, empowering, inspiring, and necessary weekend at #DSAConvention #DSACon19. No matter whatever infighting or factional division we’ve faced, we are all united for democratic socialism. Solidarity Forever 💪 🌹 pic.twitter.com/YHjJsiNoAt

Please, can we just… I know we’re all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the chatter to a minimum? “
The moderator replied, “Thank you, comrade.”

“Point of personal privilege,” the person said.
“Please do not use gendered language to address everyone!”
“Ok,” the moderator replied, with what appeared to be a resigned look on her face.
But Sacamento-man was not done…
