Platner was recruited to run by DSA members, and was endorsed by Bernie Sanders. SunSeeker 8 hrs ago #42

No, that was not the question asked by the other poster. Celerity 6 hrs ago #46

The point is, Platner didn't need to be a "card carrying member of DSA" to be a DSA candidate. SunSeeker 5 hrs ago #47
