oh yea, i read from a dsa nerd i follow that bowman only called the DSA for help 3 weeks before the election and he was already down 14 points in the polls
edit: lol he lost because he wanst zionist enough and didnt repect the rules by pulling the fire alarm?, no wonder the palestinian orgs see the DSA as a zionist org with members like that
Oh an article thats going to criticize Bowman's electoral strategy,
I wonder what mistakes he made,
Bowman left the DSA and talked a little shit about it a while back lol. This was roughly around when DSA was infighting about Palestine, with its large liberal contingent clutching pearls over the DSA BDS group. Many folks wanted to kick out Bowman, including that group, because of his vote to fund the Iron Dome.
It's a pretty great encapsulation of overall DSA electoralism that their guy isn't even in their side, isn't even transactional with them, he literally just thinks they are a group that will give him last-minute free help even though he craps on them. He's also probably correct about that but also in proper DSA fashion didn't plan anything early enough and therefore flailed and fucked up wasting a bunch of resources and losing.
