This political time crashed headlong into the George Floyd uprising. The
revived Black Lives Matter movement operated on a very immediate, daily
timing while DSA had built its infrastructure on a routinized weekly and
monthly timing without mechanisms for rapid response. What’s more, the
emphasis on electoral activity trained DSA members in a type of politics
that was substantially different from militant protest,
and/organizationally/left DSA without direction for the moment. DSA
approached the semi-spontaneous uprising based on its previous
experience with short-term demonstrations and ended up disoriented by
the continuous actions confronting the state.
