DSA: "We wouldn't endorse Warren. She's a capitalist and part of the establishment..."

[brooklynite]

The Bernie Sanders Campaign Says It Needs A Movement To Win. The Democratic Socialists Of America Are Building One.

Megan Svoboda, a DSA National Political Committee member and the chair of DSA’s Sanders campaign committee, told BuzzFeed News prior to WFP’s endorsement that while the DSA has focused on putting out materials on Sanders’ campaign, it could be open to distributing talking points about the differences between Warren and Sanders.

“I’m sure people would be very excited to work on that,” Svoboda said. “It’s obviously an important thing, and we wouldn’t endorse Warren. She’s a capitalist and part of the establishment of the Democratic Party and there’s a lot of good resources out there that show and talk about the differences between them.”

“We try to show that all of our fights and campaigns are interconnected,” Svoboda explained.

1. Good luck with that, Megan.

2. The last thing any of our candidates need is an endorsement from the DSA.

5. True. This will help Warren much more than it will hurt her.

3. Interesting!

Warren's a scary capitalist and is part of the buzzword nightmare, aka Democratic Party establishment.

Good to know. I'm sure Warren's followers will love this, particularly the stale, knee-jerk delivery of the description: Oooooo capitalist and double Oooooo establishment.

The DSA should really try mixing the lingo up. Same old, same old is bo-o-oring!

6. shh, oh man, you'll spoil it

for those whispering (yelling by some) "she is a socialist".

7. I suspect they will endorse whatever democratic candidate wins the nomination

Not even sure who DSA are- last I knew the major democratic socialist party was Socialist Party USA (SPUSA)

So it's best to stop being frightened by it and making it an issue. If the Republicans make it an issue- the reframe it as "A lot of deplorable people support Trump and they can't control who endorses them any more than we can control who endorses us".

8. Ms. Svoboda, you just struck a very bad blow to the Sanders campaign. Americans aren't stupid.
