This session of Salt Lake DSA's Socialist Night School program is on the wins, losses, lessons, and contradictions of DSA's past decade of electoral campaigns. This has always been a complex topic, and is on everyone's mind after Mamdani's victory in NYC.
Pre-readings are not required, but will be useful in discussion and provide context for some of the topics presented. These readings provide three separate perspectives on DSA's electoral strategy:
- How Zohran Beat the Billionares (2025, Blanc)
- Taking the Dirty Break Seriously (2020, Sernatinger)
- Breaking Bad: How Obsession with an Independent Workers’ Party Hurts the Socialist Electoral Project (2021, The Organizer)
Elevator to bottom floor is now working.
