fwiw Charles, the NYC DSA endorsed AOC then subsequently pushed DSA nat'l leadership to endorse. DSA's National Political Committee voted to endorse conditional on the points you enumerated. My impression is that NYC DSA Steering Committee is/was upset by the imposed conditions and said 'never mind, forget it'. A parallel issue/controversy was whether AOC had agreed to (or even knew of) NYC DSA SC's request for nat'l DSA endorsement. dayne
