As is common for DSA, a clear stance proves impossible: Status of DSA National Endorsement for Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, July 10, 2024
On Sunday, June 23rd, the DSA National Political Committee (NPC) voted to endorse Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) so long as she fulfills the following conditions: Publicly opposes all funding to Israel, including the Iron Dome Participates regularly in the DSA Federal Socialists in Office Committee Publicly opposes all criminalization of Anti-Zionism, such as bills advancing the IHRA definition which conflates criticism of Israel with anti-semitism Publicly supports BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) to end Israeli settler-colonialism This initial endorsement request was considered upon request of New York City DSA’s Steering Committee (NYC-DSA SC). Earlier this week, the NPC received a request from NYC-DSA SC to withdraw the endorsement because it took place after the New York Democratic Primary and they did not expect a conditional endorsement or feel it was strategic. Because we have not seen evidence of AOC meeting these conditions, and at the request of the NYC-DSA SC, the NPC is withdrawing our conditional endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, although she will remain endorsed by our New York City chapter.
