Joining us this week to discuss the Democratic Socialists of America and its upcoming convention is Andrew Sernatinger, organizer and union member from Madison, WI and author of two recent essays on the topic. We discuss the recent history of DSA, how it came to be the biggest socialist organization in decades, and what the upcoming convention holds in store for the future of both the org and the left.
