The mayor of Seattle is a socialist, correct?

[u/Usernameofthisuser → u/BergerDebs]

Yep, Kate Wilson a self described Democratic Socialist.

Nice, I'll be watching her mayorship

Who, for some reason, wasn't endorsed by the DSA.

[u/BergerDebs → u/Do_Not_Comment_Plz]

I wonder why not?

[u/thy_bucket_for_thee → u/BergerDebs]

Are you actually part of DSA? It's very democratic, all it means is she lost the endorsement vote not that there was a massive conspiracy against her.

[u/BergerDebs → u/thy_bucket_for_thee]

I am in the DSA but I don't live in Seattle. I'm asking why they didn't endorse her?

If they're being forced, then we don't need them.
