Now is the time for socialists to consolidate, recruit, and grow our movement...
We always knew it would be a fight to win the Democratic nomination. Don't be discouraged by the results on Super Tuesday. An open socialist won a primary in the 5th largest economy in the world by wide margins thanks to a multiracial coalition of working class voters ready to make change.
Every day people are being radicalized, whether by Bernie's message, the wins of the campaign, or the roadblocks that the media and democratic establishment put in our way. Now is the time to consolidate, recruit, and grow our movement. There will always be setbacks, but we must bring our friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers into the movement now so that they'll be there when the next fight comes!
So our challenge to all our members is to talk to someone about DSA and invite them to an upcoming canvass, mutual aid action, or social!
