Democratic socialists convention erupts due to 'sensory overload,' gendered pronoun usage

Snowflake convention?  Also, I thought someone told me that the DSAers were not also communists.

 

 

Democratic socialists convention erupts due to 'sensory overload,' gendered pronoun usage

"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.

As soon as Jackson said the word "guys," an individual in the audience could be seen becoming visibly irate in a livestream video of the convention posted online.

 

"I just want to say, can we please keep the chatter to the minimum? I'm one of the people who's very, very prone to sensory overload," Jackson said. Several other delegates could be seen waving "Jazz hands" in the air, instead of applauding, as he spoke. (Jazz hands are considered less "triggering" to those sensitive to loud sounds.)

"There's a lot of whispering and chattering going on. It's making it very difficult for me to focus. Please, I know we're all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the chatter to a minimum? It's affecting my ability to focus."

"Thank you, comrade," the chair responded.

It truly is sad to contemplate, eh?  "Snowflake" doesn't even begin to explain it.  Natural selection will win in the end, of course.

The article does not mention if "The Squad", or Bernie were present.  I thought AOC and Bernie embraced and were proud to be called Democratic Socialist of America.

Personally, I am glad they are using condoms, we really do not need any more socialists.  I also think that by using "Jazz Hands" as a means to applaud, they may be in violation of the ADA, specifically those with visual impairments.

The convention was unlike any traditional political gathering. Handwritten signs pointed delegates to quiet rooms for the overstressed; delegates were told not to applaud speakers but instead raise their hand above their heads with spread fingers lest they startle other attendees.

The cash-strapped organizers explained they provided their own coffee rather than buy from the hotel to save money, and volunteers raised cash online to buy cough drops, condoms and first-aid kits to dispense for free to delegates.
