Maybe you’re new to the DSA? We have A LOT of overlap with the GPUS. Almost all of the GPUS are elected locally. Unfortunately, in about 40 states running a presidential candidate is required for maintaining ballot access. Which is obviously an impossible hurtle for most independent parties. So the majority of independent progressive parties unite behind a single candidate to maintain their ballot lines. The presidential campaign is what allows down ballot candidates to be able to run at all. Coincidentally, someone asked the same question in the AMA
Here’s an upcoming event with two DSA members who’re running as Greens, for anyone interested. Some DSA chapters and caucuses have endorsed the Hawkins/Walker Campaign too. I’m not sure if you know but Hawkins/Walker is also nominated by our sister org, SPUSA
From the author who wrote <em>Harry Potter and International Relations</em>:
>Russia is more reactionary, more kleptocratic, and more imperialist than the United States
He's claiming Russia is more imperialist than the country with the largest military budget, +800 overseas military bases, and whose military has killed a couple orders of magnitude more than Russia's. Not to mention sanctions, structural adjustments etc.
