Democratic Socialists of America goes all in for Biden
Last week, nearly the entire leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) began circulating a “pledge” to campaign for the Democratic Party presidential nominee, Joe Biden.
{The membership of the DSA voted at the 2019 convention explicitly to not campaign for any Democratic Party candidate other than Bernie Sanders.}
If your guy won't join you, join the ruling class with him.
{The fact that the DSA leadership is nevertheless mobilizing to campaign for Biden is not surprising. However, the brazen and open disregard for the organization’s own convention resolutions with the issuing of this document is noteworthy.}
That might sound familiar to some here. Taking a page right out of the DNC play book? If you can't fairly manage to produce for your preferred candidate rig the election and commit what is basically a theft of the opponents donated funds. In this case those who were conned into donating on behalf of Sanders get screwed again. These poor Sanders supporters got duped by Sanders and both the DNC and DSA this cycle. When I say I told you so just doesn't get deep enough.
{This has created a significant political crisis for the DSA, which has sought to posture as being independent of the “Democratic Party establishment” while in fact serving as a faction of the same party.}
WSWS has done everything they can to expose this fake socialist entity to no avail. Also note that the Jacobin Magazine is an arm of the DSA. WSWS has many articles on the nature and relationship of these frauds. Every candidate they are related to have fell in line with all the other foundation blocks of the capitalist power structure. Becoming mere periodic lip service when distractions are manufactured to quell the issue behind the new one. Where have these DSA elected representatives been during this present election cycle who have not raised a single voice towards all the issues from the beginning of the Trump presidency to today? The squad and Sanders have been in total silence on any of those issues as the primary took place. The issue factor was limited to a fraction within only the current line of conditioning aspects to control the populations perception.
WSWS? Whoever they are. The USA people have been totally brainwashed to thinking caring about others (socialism) is a sign of weakness. Hopefully one day they will discover that it is a sign of strength.
