                                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

                              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

                    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.
    1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
      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.
    1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
      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
          1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
            CB4 fails, too
            1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
              This recommendation on state-level organizing sounds good

                NPC1-R1 passes on acclamation
                1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                  undecided on NPC2-R2, on growing DSA staff
                  1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                    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
