I removed two caucuses from the list of major caucuses, partly due to a lack of secondary sources. However, I'm questioning whether this list (and the NPC seat chart) should be on this page at all. These internal groups will likely be difficult to find reliable/non-primary sources for, and is there any precedent for having this degree of inside baseball? Are there other articles about political parties/orgs which go to this level of detail? I'm not sure it's notable enough. Exobiotic 💬 ✒️ 05:04, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
i have restored a portion of the paragraph in the lede section, the original text of which centered on controversy from the pro-Hamas rally which took place in Times Square on Oct 8.
i recognize that discussing the controversy itself within the lede may constitute undue weight, and i have chosen to exclude that material from the text i restored, on the grounds that the GOP and the Democratic Party have been accusing each other of racism since time immemorial, and neither article dwells on the respective controversies in their lede sections.
however, discussion of the impact of the controversy on DSA’s congressional representation is clearly in-scope. my argument is not analytical, but mathematical — DSA is a small organization with a tiny congressional delegation, and therefore the disaffiliation of even a handful of its members in the House is noteworthy. if a third of the House Republican Conference were to resign overnight, that would clearly merit inclusion in the lede of the associated article.

it's generally agreed we should try to avoid WP:RECENCYrather than using the language of policy. That said, some essays are much more widely cited than others, and this one is widely cited. It's probably best to think of it as a norm, much like WP:BRD. As for the rest, I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree. Cheers, Generalrelative ( talk) 21:53, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Change section on steering committee that states "The NPC elects a leadership committee of six, the Steering Committee, including seven of its own members, two of whom are the representatives of the youth section. At least two of these are constitutionally required to be women and at least one a person of color, with the National Director and the Youth Section Organizer also participating as ex officio non-voting members. The Steering Committee meets bimonthly, either in person or by conference call"

"The NPC elects seven of its own members to a leadership committee, the Steering Committee, two of whom must be the representatives of the youth section. At least two of these are constitutionally required to be women and at least one a person of color. The National Director and the Youth Section Organizer also participating as ex officio non-voting members. The Steering Committee meets bimonthly, either in person or by conference call "
The wordage of "They elect six including sevem from themselves" is written in a slightly confusing way. I feel that changing the wording to explicitly state it's a seven person committee and stating 5 are elected is much clearer. DirectorDirectorDirector ( talk) 07:47, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Requesting to add under State and local elections
In the 2023 off-year elections, DSA endorsed or affiliated candidates retained the majority of the local seats initially won during the 2019 municipal elections. Indianapolis chapter-endorsed candidate Jesse Brown won the Democratic primary for district 13 against the incumbent vice president of the Indianapolis City-County Council. [1] In the 2023 Chicago aldermanic elections, the Chicago City Council Democratic Socialist Caucus gained a seat with the election of Angela Clay for ward 46. [2] Aurin Chowdhury, endorsed by the Twin Cities DSA and the Minneapolis DFL was elected in the 2023 Minneapolis elections for ward 12. [3] In Denver, DSA endorsed candidate Sarah Parady won a tight race for the city's at-large seat, while Candi CdeBaca lost her re-election for district 9.

DSA would be a Marxist organization, not only in the initial creation of the organization, but with the growth of a left-wing within it that bring Marxism to it. I think it can be added, but I'll leave it up for discussion. CeeeeeeNW ( talk) 00:40, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
