Red Star condemns the votes by DSA's endorsed Congressional electeds against the demands of the rail unions. We are, again, seeing a failure of our electoral work to foster class struggle and a mass movement that would advance that struggle.

Here, we examine the relationship between DSA and AOC, AOC's impact on DSA, AOC's general political alignment, and AOC's relationship with DSA over Palestine. This analysis provides a clear and unmistakable answer: the NPC should not re-endorse AOC.

Responsibility can't be placed solely on DSA electeds. For years now, the current of DSA that favors expediency and the politics of lowest-common-denominator opportunism over democratic struggle have watered down democratically-decided positions to the point of meaninglessness.

What even is a “DSA elected?” Members, electeds, leadership – no one seems to have an answer. Opinions on the electoral question remain divided w/in DSA, but one thing seems eminently clear: the relationship as it stands is not adequate for a member-led mass movement org.
