        1. Dang it, I meant to do stuff before tonight’s #DSAConvention debate block, but didn’t manage to… oh well. Last night’s thread, for reference: @cooljeanius/1423386371188740103?s=21

        ok the Zoom session is kicking off now

      debating amendments to amendments! You’d think serving in one legislative body would have me got me tired enough of legislative procedure, but nope, I guess I didn’t learn my lesson…

    First up is a constitution & bylaws amendment to strike regional requirements from the charter. Undecided on this; will listen to debate.

      .@HondaWang speaking in favor of CB1; it’s so weird hearing socialists making fiscally conservative arguments, lol (that’s not necessarily a critique, btw!)

        Reminder to #PassthePROAct about these union support concerns

          I’m confused by this whole amendment-to-an-amendment thing
          1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
            I might just abstain here

              tech issues leading to a (possible) recess

                ok sounds like we’re back

                  I think CB1 passed; onto CB5, on electing DSA’s national leadership
                  1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                    CB5 seems pretty reasonable; I’m leaning towards it… I can see there being an argument against it based on being tired of voting on stuff, but if I don’t want to vote on stuff in the future, I just won’t. Abstention is always an option.

                      Motion to divide; ugh…
                      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                        motion to divide failed, so we’re voting on CB5 as a whole next. I’m still leaning in favor of it; democracy is good.

                          Next is CB4, on electing DSA’s National Director. I think I’ll vote yes on this one, too.

                            The argument that “this isn’t a politicized position” goes against my view that EVERYTHING is politicized; there’s no such thing as a non-political position.

                              and, as I argued on the previous motion, if you’re tired of there being too many elections (which is a valid complaint), just don’t vote in them. No one’s forcing you to vote in all these new votes being created.

                                While we’re voting on CB4, results for CB5 are back: it failed. Oh well, whatever, I didn’t really care that much anyways.

                                  next up are the NPC recommendations

                                    CB4 fails, too

                                      This recommendation on state-level organizing sounds good

                                        NPC1-R1 passes on acclamation

                                          undecided on NPC2-R2, on growing DSA staff

                                            now discussing NPC3-R3, on standardization of committees… undecided on this as well
                                            1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                              Stuff passes on acclamation. We’ve hit the end of the block and are motioning to recess now.

                                                OK we’re done. I’ll be back with a new thread tomorrow. #DSACon2021
