That this decision was made without a vote of the membership is why I'm not renewing my DSA membership.

I would bet if a full vote of the membership was done, members would endorse Biden to defeat Trump. But that won't be allowed. https://twitter.com/DemSocialists/status/1249351571831435269

My post: DSA doesn't want to allow a membership referendum.

Replies: You're lying. We had a vote not to allow a membership referendum.

???

But makes as much sense as "Sure, most of us will vote for Biden, but we don't want the masses to know that."

Also got multiple replies that "DSA doesn't do membership referenda" but Bernie was endorsed after a membership referendum.

Why not another one now that he has withdrawn to support Biden? https://twitter.com/scottheins/status/1105613573844279297

Been in socialist-oriented groups for thirty years from Committees of Correspondence to National Lawyers Guild, so "should we endorse Dem Presidents?" has been constant.

Many socialist orgs have endorsed Dems & failing to do so w Trump on ballot is an ideological failure.

BTW even for those saying "convention voted on this", it wasn't a position debated in chapters before hand or a major position on which delegates were chosen, as noted here: https://twitter.com/JasonMHicks/status/1249422931853225985
