Democratic socialists convention erupts due to ‘sensory overload,’ gendered pronoun usage
< < Go Back
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) National Convention in Georgia this weekend came to a screeching halt when one delegate formally complained of “sensory overload” from “guys” whispering in the room — prompting another “comrade” to grab the microphone to angrily demand an immediate end to the use of “gendered language.”
The back-to-back moments of impassioned hypersensitivity at the gathering of the largest socialist organization in the United States led to bipartisan mockery from commentators, who compared the scene to something out of the sitcom “The Office” or the sketch comedy group Monty Python.

“Uh, quick point of personal privilege, um guys,” began one delegate, who identified himself as James Jackson from Sacramento, and specified that he uses the “he/him” personal pronouns.
Democratic Socialists of America convention rules:
🔴 No “aggressive scents” in the quiet room
🔴 No misuse of doors
🔴 No interacting with cops
🔴 No talking to the pressI’m sorry, I thought this was America.
