                    1. Just got back from a picnic at Bear Brook; time to sign into the DSA convention…

                    Dang I should have read up on procedure before this; the procedure here is a lot different from what we use in the NH State Legislature…

                  Motion to divide the question on the challenge to the credentials of the Portland and Pittsburgh chapters currently

                Luisa M. of @PortlandDSA speaking in defense of her chapter keeping their credentials
            1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
              The motion to divide failed, so we’re debating both the Portland and Pittsburgh chapters together; someone from Seattle just spoke against Pittsburgh’s credentials

            having separate motions to call the question from the actual question is so confusing and redundant; I think it’s a thing in the NH House, too, but it’s barely ever used…

      Borda Count vs. STV debate now; I personally prefer Black’s Method or Copeland’s Method, but don’t really care enough to make a motion to propose using either of them…

        unsure how annoyed I should be by these tech issues… if we were meeting in person, I probably couldn’t attend just due to how busy travel plans are around this time of year, so I guess I should be glad that tech allows me to attend at all, but still…
        1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
          It seems that the motion to change Borda Count to STV succeeded while I was having tech issues; pretty sure we’re still in a rules discussion in general though… #DSACon2021

              debate over the definition of “germane” now, OMG
              1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                I mean, I get it, having a different definition of “germane” could have made the difference as to whether Rep. Read’s “purple paint” amendment could have gone forward in my committee in the NH House earlier this term, but still… what a bunch of process nerds.

                  thank goodness we have @nhhouseclerk to be a brutal dictator and make these decisions about process for us in NH (read into this statement as much sarcasm as you feel like)

                    debate over threshold for removing stuff from consent currently #DSACon2021

                      Discord’s recent decision to add threading makes more sense now that I’ve been in Slack more; apparently people who main Slack as their chat app REALLY LIKE threading…

                        Amendment to lower threshold for removing stuff from consent fails. #DSACon2021

                          I like DSA for the socialism, but I gotta say, some members’ emoji overuse can be kinda annoying…

                                    Moving on from voting and stuff to the panel discussions now #DSACon21

                                      I think I’m going to skip the panel and then come back for the speeches at 9; there’s some video games I want to catch up on in between. #DSACon2021

                                              People keep telling me to run for office today, but no one’s managed to solve my problem of how to do both that and also find a place to live with my fiancée, who is currently in New Jersey…

                                                      ok that’s it… we didn’t manage to fill the whole hour slot we had reserved for speeches here, but that’s ok. I’ll probably go to the “Organizing Within DSA by Faith Group” panel tomorrow, so I’ll start a new thread for that if/when I get into it. #DSACon2021
