@npr: The Democratic Socialists of America has gotten a lot of attention in the last few years, winning some big elections and becoming more of a household name. But more name recognition doesn’t mean everyone is rocking with DSA, especially some Black voters. On the Code Switch podcast, host Gene Demby talks with Hasan Piker (@hasandpiker) about what the DSA could do to win over skeptical Democratic voters. #NPR

i highly agree. DSA needs to find roots outside of just metro areas, uplift and support in marginalized rural areas, including the South, the Midwest, and the Southwest.

I was there in 2020 when the DSA-LA was STRUGGLING to set up a chapter for South LA + Inglewood. Believe me when I say that getting those white members to even give af about it was like pulling teeth.

Speaking to my grandma they believe all the DSA stuff…they just don’t believe they can win. She told me “folks too racist to give other people stuff”.

I'll just say there's a reason the democratic establishment and legacy media are making some streamer the face off DSA while they ignore black progressives like Presley, Bush, Bowman.

The DSA is really trying, but it also needs people to be interested as well. The average person is just not tapped in at all.

I think it's wild that the left is expected to vote for candidates that directly oppose not only our ideals, but our immediate material interests, while every other demographic expects to be individually sucked up to and begged to vote for their own best interests.

Identifying community needs and serving them is the winning ticket. It's why reason Republicans "care" about the disabled community.

The DSA needs to help reestablish the black radical tradition. Figures like MLK are presented as liberals when he was a democratic socialist himself

when we went on strike a couple years ago, the local dsa sent some people over to help out in solidarity. didnt see any democrats there. and the dsa guys also went to 2 or 3 other picket lines that same day to support other unions in the area. im not a dsa or a democrat but its obvious whos putting in work in the local communities with boots on the ground and who isnt

People will laugh at me, but ACP actually does a way better job at rural outreach than any other Socialist org in America has. I've seen them in MY community, and I live in bum**** nowhere.

The reality is DSA doesn't need to go on a country wide tour to reach non-white people, my local meets in the whitest city in my county. we then canvass in the most diverse city in our county. this is something echoed in my friend's local elsewhere in the state. I'm proud of the work DSA does as a whole and I'm proud to take part as I can but I also can recognize that there's some fairly obvious steps that need to be taken in order to truly be anti-racist and expand
