@LarryWebsite curious, why does the wiki page say DSA had 10,000 members in 2014? Did a lot leave since then?

@almyrOH we don't edit the wikipedia page. lol it used to say I was one of the most notable members ffs

@LarryWebsite it actually said "larry website"? that's hilarious

@LarryWebsite Are these all paying members? Are they all cadre?

@coreyrpayne yep! cadre rate is getting much better. depending on the chapter it's 1-to-1 in some places. in others 25-55%

.@LarryWebsite @ggreenwald who cares? The Green Party has many times that, & it seems that only sectarianism prevents DSA from joining them

@ZRhazes @LarryWebsite @ggreenwald 1) DSA isn't a political party 2) anti-capitalism wasn't a stance of Greens in the US until months ago

@choppadoo @ZRhazes @LarryWebsite Also socialism in gen. & DSA stance specifically are evidence based. Green Party's ... not a science fan

@RedRosaFan @choppadoo @ZRhazes @LarryWebsite Greens don't have mass appeal to regular working class people. come across like flakey hippies

@Ah_occ_o @choppadoo @ZRhazes @LarryWebsite Yes. I readily concede they're unfairly discounted sometimes but the hippy thing isn't unfounded

@RedRosaFan @choppadoo @ZRhazes @LarryWebsite they're unfairly portrayed by msm a lot but don't do themselves favors w/ their branding

@Ah_occ_o @RedRosaFan @ZRhazes @LarryWebsite All of this seems to be true as far as I can tell.

@LarryWebsite I just got my first mailer from DSA and relatives were like YOU'RE a socialist?

@Moose_Bigelow @LarryWebsite congrats on living at home

@symon @LarryWebsite "congrats on having multiple student loan payments in an economy where only 6% of returning jobs were FT" you mean

@Moose_Bigelow oh hell ya. that’s the good shit. that’s why i dropped out of college. i’m sorry buddy, my partner has student loans & it sux
