The Civil War Inside the DSA
Grace Mausser had just made the case for why she and Gustavo Gordillo, her fellow New York City DSA co-chair, deserve $95,000 salaries, and it was now time for the few dozen of her comrades gathered inside a dimly lit Park Slope bar to weigh in.Not everyone was convinced. One woman kicked off the venting session by saying she wasn’t sure she could continue as a member after watching local party leaders “defend things that I don’t agree with,” including on police-related issues. A 10-year member of the DSA objected to the proposal on procedural grounds, noting that neither co-chair is working class to begin with.
