Democrats and being self-destructive morons: name a more iconic duo

[Yank2133]

Meh, the DSA is irrelevant politically.

[Stranger in a strange land]

This isn't surprising and has been their position from the outset.

[SnowLabrador]

Meh, the DSA is irrelevant politically.

[longtimelurker]

Good.  So when Trump calls Biden a "socialist" during the campaign, Biden can say, "C'mon the socialists refused to endorse me."

ok like who care

[Intell]

Irrelevant lefty sect.

[Landslide Lyndon]

But whom are the Socialist Democrats of America going to endorse?

[LAKISYLVANIA]

I respect their choice, but I do endorse Joe Biden.

[Pollster]

If Biden refused to endorse a DSA-backed candidate nobody would bat an eye.

[Lord Halifax]

There is no reason to make a thread about this since they've never indicated they would support a non-Socialist presidential candidate.

[Vosem]

Wow, best sign for Biden's campaign that we've seen in the early-stage GE campaign so far.

I keep getting struck by the fact that the DSA is an organization 55,000 strong and overwhelmingly centered in New York City. Super disproportionate attention given those facts.

[KaiserDave]

Great news!

[PSOL]

I’m mildly surprised at this revelation. Seems like the DSA has more tact in knowing that if they endorse Biden, they’ll be skewered and labeled as fraudsters for what could be the killing blow to their growth. However, given that the fact that the DSA are basically integrated fully into the Sanders Campaign, I expect them to endorse Biden if Bernie Sanders does.

A sizeable amount of members are located in New York City and on the urban areas in both shore lines, but to say there limited to NYC is blatantly false

I dont know if they will. Biden is starting to get negative press, since he started winning primaries. Harris, Whitmer and CCM have already declined to run for Veep. Negative press has evaded Biden due to impeachment,  but its definitely starting now. Since, he cant campaign normally and he isnt winning primaries any longer. That's why polls showing wide Biden leads can only be taken with a grain of salt

Stop. Biden is not entitled to anyone’s endorsement

[Crumpets]

I'm guessing Biden also won't win the endorsement of CPAC, the Nation of Islam, or the Ron Paul Revolution.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Biden would never tweet that he wasn’t endorsing a candidate though.

The DSA is lame and has no clout. I have worked, volunteered for Democrats in a wide array of spaces and none of them would identify with these people at all. Joe Biden is just fine.

[Podgy the Bear]

This is wonderful news!   Biden needs to stress this lack of a completely worthless endorsement in the purple districts.

[Donerail]

Along with the utter self-destruction of their own credibility.

The only thing that would destroy the credibility of a socialist organization would be endorsing Joe Biden, who is emphatically not a socialist.

However, given that the fact that the DSA are basically integrated fully into the Sanders Campaign, I expect them to endorse Biden if Bernie Sanders does.

This will not happen.

[Ronnie]

Reminder that they agonized over whether to endorse Bernie earlier in the primary season.  They were never going to endorse anyone else in a million years.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Saboteurs gonna saboteur.

Biden winning without their help is good for the party.

[Xing]

They wouldn’t endorse most Democrats, so this is not news. Biden advertising this “lack of endorsement” (as at least a couple have suggested) wouldn’t be smart. Democrats who spend more time “reassuring” voters that they aren’t “socialists” than attacking their Republican opponent and showing why the Republican Party has been destructive don’t tend to win elections.
