There was a bit of anxiety about Super Tuesday and all, but that wasn't the focus of the meeting and we wrapped up before any real results came in.

What were the refreshments? I don't know if I saw any drinks available actually, though there was a good deal of food. People could get water from the sink if they wanted, I guess. kayoticdreamz posted... Why do you hate America Because America is a country in which people are dying because they can't afford insulin.

what was on the agenda? Aside from updates from the various working groups, the two main parts were a canvassing training (not just for Bernie, but for local candidates or whatever other campaigns) and a proposal for the chapter to launch a campaign towards municipalizing the energy grid. The latter got a bit too much into what I like to call "bylaws-ass shit" but was overall really cool and I think a worthwhile goal. I'll be voting for us to get on board. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

what are the working groups? and what are they working on? The working groups are subsets of the chapter that are focused on specific issues or campaigns. So the energy democracy campaign is a project of our ecosocialist working group. There's also a socialist feminist working group which is preparing for our annual abortion fundraiser, an electoral working group focused on the obvious, and so on. --- kin to all that throbs ...

This is an easy change anyone can make; humans are in no way obligate omnivores. its grossly hypocritical to say you care about suffering, equality and quality of life, the environment, and big corporate power when you (voluntarily and optionally) support an industry that tortures and kills 55 billion sentient beings each year, is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, and is made up of corporations with ridiculous lobbying power. --- https://imgur.com/VZeCB RebelElite791 ...

American idea of socialist, or the rest of the world's idea of socialist? I imagine there are some people who are just social democrats, but I'd say most of us would qualify as socialists elsewhere. MarqueeSeries posted... So what's the protocol on this sort of thing? Do you guys just get together and talk things out, or are you all pretty involved in local politics? It depends on how you define involvement. There's one guy who's been a habitual green party candidate for various positions, but "involvement" for most of us takes the form of our role in various campaigns and efforts. The organization was part of a broader push that helped get a police accountability board passed last fall. MeltyAlert posted... Was anyone upset at the Super Tuesday results? They hadn't come in yet. But the attitude I've seen this morning is more "don't mourn, organize," than being upset. R1masher posted... Abortion fundraiser?

Thats because no one gives a shit about vegans being annoying, absolutely no one cares whether youre right or not. Have fun feeling so morally superior to everyone, now go away.You seem to care a lot being that youre so fucking assblasted about simple ethical hypocrisy being pointed out. Whining about vegans and refusing to engage really makes your stance look great Dont talk about the urgency of climate change and how Republicans wont address it when you support the factory farm industry. --- https://imgur.com/VZeCB RebelElite791 ...
