If you're involved with #Indivisible and are willing to e-meet me to talk about your impressions and experiences in your local chapter so far, please pm me. I'm studying the organization a bit and am involved in a local chapter to give it the benefit of the doubt as a hub for organizers, but I am skeptical of its roots and funding sources in Act Blue et al.

@resl

Democrats 🤷

If you are allowed to keep control of which specific actions you support without a hard requirement to support every tactical decision, it can be a good thing.

Say, a campaign to help support a clinic that serves young mothers in a ravaged neighbourhood.

A different kind of action, such as an electoral campaign to prop up one of their candidates (even if it's against the Nazis) that probably requires digging deeper.

@vruz Yeah, I am of the same mind. I see the multifaceted nature of things. The way I phrased my original post was probably not the most thoughtful - I guess the point I'm making is that I'm curious to meet others who are aware of or involved with the organization because I want to be in direct communication with other people in the US who are involved in progressive collective action, let's say. I am not that concerned with the DNC, perhaps needless to say at this point.

@vruz Might be that I didn't really understand what you were saying... I thought I did but will you expound on it just in case? Maybe pm me if you don't want to risk being redundant in the public thread?
