Part 1: 2020 Presidential Primary Endorsement 

Process Proposal  
 
Context 
 
In October, 2018, the NPC formed the Exploratory Committee for the 2020 Presidential Primary 
(2020 Exploratory Committee, for short), to draft recommendations to the NPC’s January, 2019 
meeting. This committee is meant to have representatives from the NPC, YDSA NCC, NEC, 
M4ACC, and DSLC to look into the possibilities for an endorsement in the 2020 presidential 
primary as well as develop a high level campaign plan for a potential 2020 presidential 
campaign. 
 
This current document is meant to lay out a high-level proposal for how DSA should 
address the question of endorsement in the 2020 primary. While many of the details of the 
process are elided, this document should be used as guidance for how the process will 
proceed in general.  
 
Starting in 2014, DSA ran a “Draft Bernie” campaign pushing for Bernie Sanders to run for 
president. Once Sanders’s campaign was officially up and running, DSA endorsed Sanders and 
ran an independent, socialist campaign supporting his candidacy. Thanks in part to this 

1
campaign, DSA has grown about 11 times over since 2015, from 5,000 members to 55,000. 
DSA will most likely want to endorse Sanders again, were he to run in 2020. 
 
Since DSA has been transformed into a “mini mass” organization after 2016, we have made 
many electoral endorsements in local and state races, but have not had the opportunity to 
endorse a presidential candidate. Therefore, we must develop a process for endorsement that 
takes into account where the organization is at now and what direction we expect or hope it 
will be moving over the coming months.  
 
We expect most 2020 presidential candidates will likely announce by middle of next year or 
sooner. Bernie Sanders seems to be almost certainly running at this point and could announce 
as early as January and as late as March 2019. If DSA is to play an important role in Sanders’s 
campaign — both growing DSA as a serious, independent, socialist pole in the broader 
Sanders movement, and helping Sanders win the Democratic Party primary and go on to 
defeat Trump in the general election — then it is essential that DSA get involved in this 
campaign as early as possible.  
 
Since it can take months to develop new programming of any kind in a large, decentralized, 
and mostly volunteer-run national organization, we should begin planning what this campaign 
would look like now. Additionally, we should not wait more than one month after Sanders 
announces his candidacy before we make an endorsement. Otherwise we risk starting late and 
playing only a background role in the larger mobilization behind Sanders and his program. 
 
Since 2017, the NPC has worked with the NEC to make endorsements at the 
recommendations of chapters, largely without input from the broader membership besides the 
guiding 2017 Priorities Resolution. However, in the case of a presidential primary endorsement, 
we should aim to incorporate a much broader layer of DSA’s membership in the deliberation 
over a presidential candidate’s endorsement. This is especially important given that the 
success of this campaign will largely depend on how active and energized our members are in 
the campaign. In order to achieve that, our endorsement process should seek to get maximum 
input from members informing the decision (and informing a future campaign), and seek to get 
maximum buy-in for whatever we end up deciding. 
 
Goals 
 
This proposal is written with the following goals in mind: 
 
● The NPC should vote on whether or not to endorse Bernie Sanders for president in 
2020 within a month following Sanders’s announcement in early 2019. 
 

2
 ● Through an inclusive and democratic process, DSA should achieve a maximum level of 
input and buy-in through the process of debate and decision-making. 
 
 
Proposed Endorsement Process 
 
The process for endorsement will involve the following key elements, roughly chronologically: 
 
1. At the January 26-27 NPC meeting, the NPC adopts the recommendations from the 
2020 Exploratory Committee, including this process, and announces as much to the 
membership. Included in this announcement will be a political rationale for why we are 
considering Bernie Sanders and no other candidate in the Democratic primaries. This 
rationale will make clear that we are not rubber-stamping Sanders, but instead that we 
have high demands on him politically, and that we will push Sanders towards our 
positions as much as possible. 
 
2. During the February and March Regional Conferences, there will be time on the agenda 
for debating whether or not to endorse Bernie Sanders, and if so what such a campaign 
should consist of. 
 
3. During February and March, the NPC or some body thereof will encourage chapters to 
engage in in-person discussions about a possible Sanders endorsement. These ideally 
would take the form of resolutions to be debated at general membership meetings, 
allowing chapters to vote on whether or not to recommend the endorsement to the 
NPC. Many chapters, however, have not developed strong parliamentary practices of 
debating resolutions, or are too small for this to make sense, so they should be assisted 
in carrying out this discussion in whatever way is most useful in their context. 
 
4. If and when Sanders announces his candidacy, an endorsement process is immediately 
triggered:  
a. The NPC will immediately send an announcement to the membership alerting 
them to the following process. 
b. The NPC will schedule an emergency NPC meeting via Zoom to consider the 
question within one month or less. If Sanders’s announcement comes late 
enough in the month of March, then the in-person NPC meeting in April will be 
used to make the decision. 
c. Within two weeks after Sanders announces, the NPC will send out an advisory 
online poll to the entire membership. This poll will ask if the members support an 
endorsement of Sanders by the NPC. The members will have about one week to 
complete the poll once they receive it.  
d. Once the NPC has received the poll results, they can move forward with 
debating a motion to endorse a Sanders campaign. Such a motion or an 

3
 additional motion should include language on how DSA should conduct a 
campaign. 
 
 
If Sanders doesn’t run 
 
While it seems all but certain that Sanders is planning on running at this point, it is reasonable 
to make preparations in the event that he does not. In such an event, we propose a much 
simpler process. If Sanders makes clear that he will not run (which should happen early in 
2019), then the NPC — likely at their April 2019 meeting — in consultation with this committee 
should develop a plan to encourage debate among the membership about which if any 
Democratic Party candidate to endorse in the primary, and then put forward a debate and a 
resolution or multiple resolutions on this question at the 2019 National Convention. Related 
questions that DSA should consider between when Sanders makes clear he is not running and 
through the August convention include: 
- How high a priority is defeating Trump? 
- If Sanders endorses a candidate, how should DSA react? 
- Should DSA compile “dossiers” on the other candidates so that even if we don't 
endorse, we can provide information to members? 
 
 
Other Considerations 
 
DSA should also be prepared to discuss, at our 2019 National Convention, what our strategy 
will be in relation to the 2020 general election. If Bernie Sanders is not the Democratic Party 
nominee, there will likely be very heated debates among DSA members about whether or not to 
back a different Democratic nominee, or an independent candidate, against Trump. Since there 
will not be a DSA national convention in 2020, and DSA will likely be heavily involved in multiple 
electoral campaigns across the country throughout 2020, having a serious, full-membership 
debate about this question after the primary ends will be difficult. Therefore, it would be best 
for DSA to start to develop our approach to this problem in 2019, knowing that there will be 
limited time for a membership-wide debate in 2020. 
 
The NPC should therefore consider putting forward a resolution for debate at the 2019 
convention addressing the question of whom to support in 2020 if Sanders is not the nominee. 
This question can be taken up again at the April 2019 NPC meeting. 
 
Additionally, DSA should consider the relation of the 2020 presidential race to important 
House, Senate, and state races.

Part 2: Initial Bernie 2020 Campaign Plan Proposal 
 
Introduction 
 
The following document describes key features of a potential “DSA for Bernie” campaign. 
While some elements would likely have to be put in motion before endorsement, such as a 
compliance research, such a campaign would begin immediately after we endorse Sanders, if 
that is what happens, likely in Spring 2019. If adopted by the NPC at their January meeting, the 
document lays out key next steps and a broad direction for action. It is not intended to 
prescribe every detail of such a campaign. Instead, the goal is that many of the major initial 
questions are answered and problems solved before an endorsement happens or soon after, 
making it easier for us to launch a campaign in a timely manner. 
 
Without having key questions about compliance and fundraising figured out, we can only draw 
up hypothetical plans for what the campaign will likely look like. That is why settling questions 
around election law compliance is probably the most urgent priority. 
 
However, at the highest level, we know that the campaign will have several key features. 
 
First, DSA will have an independent political identity, with a name like “Democratic Socialists 
for Bernie.” This campaign shall be centered around core demands of Sanders’s platform 
— not merely the candidate himself — such as Medicare for All, College for All, Green New 
Deal, end cash bail, $15 minimum wage, etc. 
 
Second, DSA will have its own national campaign infrastructure, independent from Sanders’s 
official campaign. The degree to which our infrastructure will coordinate with the official 
campaign, or if we have multiple national (and/or local) campaigns, independent and 
coordinated, will have to be determined by compliance constraints. However, to begin with we 
should assume a maximum level of independence and a minimum level of coordination. 
 
Third, in addition to developing propaganda and other national-level political interventions, a 
primary task of the national DSA Bernie campaign will be supporting the growth of local and 
state-wide Sanders campaigns. This will primarily happen through facilitating the growth of 
DSA chapters, training and support of chapter activists, systematization and possibly 
centralization of key operations including data and fundraising. DSA’s national campaign 
should also, to the highest degree possible, involve DSA chapters in various organizing 
activities, such as putting on town halls, virtual phonebanking, or connecting down ballot 
DSA-backed candidates to DSA-for-Bernie efforts.  
 

5
Finally, DSA’s campaign for Bernie will intimately involve the efforts of DSA and non-DSA 
activists in the labor movement (through the DSLC and the Labor for Bernie network), on 
campuses (through YDSA), and in the fight for Medicare for All (through DSA’s Medicare for All 
campaign).  
 
 
National Infrastructure 
 
DSA shall develop an independent national campaign infrastructure supporting Sanders in the 
event that DSA endorses his candidacy. Such a national infrastructure shall include the 
following major elements: 
 

1. The 2020 Exploratory Committee will continue to serve on an interim basis until the 
endorsement vote and/or the appointment of a new committee. If DSA endorses 
Sanders, the NPC should establish a DSA Bernie 2020 Committee (hereafter the 
“Committee”) by appointment. 

2. The Committee shall work with the Personnel Committee and the National Director to 
design and hire the following positions as soon as possible: 

a. An experienced, full-time or part-time compliance officer who will be tasked first 

with developing compliance guidance for national DSA and DSA chapters, and 
then with offering advice to DSA’s national campaign for Sanders, the NEC’s 
other activities, and chapters throughout the 2019 and 2020 election seasons; 
and 

b. One or two lead campaign organizers who will initially be tasked with helping the 
Committee carry out all of its activities, including developing a campaign plan 
and helping the Personnel Committee and National Director hire additional 
campaign-related staff. 

3. In consultation with the NPC, the Committee shall establish an organizational and 
political identity independent of Sanders’s official campaign, such as “Democratic 
Socialists for Bernie.” This shall involve a subdomain and social media accounts, similar 
to https://medicareforall.dsausa.org.  

4. The Committee shall work with staff to develop a comprehensive data management 
plan, including deciding upon software and related hiring. Such a plan should be 
focused on guaranteeing chapters are able to develop their own robust data 
management systems that can be used for all chapter work going forward. 

5. The Committee shall establish an Organizing Subcommittee, tasked with developing a 

network of regional organizers, as volunteers or paid staff, who can help interested 
chapters to develop their own campaigns. Early on, this Subcommittee shall also 

6
 develop organizing guides, similar to the DSA Medicare for All organizing guide, to send 
out to interested chapters and other activists. The Organizing Subcommittee shall also 
explore options for creating a system for virtual phonebanking and textbanking, allowing 
DSA to host such activities throughout the primary season while capitalizing on the 
momentum around Sanders to increase outreach on behalf of down ballot DSA-backed 
candidates in primary states. The Committee shall make recommendations for hiring 
organizing staff, either dedicated entirely or in part to this campaign. 

6. The Committee shall establish a Communications Subcommittee to manage all 

national“Democratic Socialists for Bernie” related communications, including traditional 
and social media, audiovisual content, and supporting chapters in developing their own 
communications activities. This Subcommittee shall a related blog or publication, as a 
newsletter or website. See for comparison the DSA Medicare for All blog and 
newsletter. The Committee shall make recommendations for hiring communications 
staff, either dedicated entirely or in part to this campaign. 

7. The Committee shall, in conjunction with relevant chapters, plan major actions 
coordinated across DSA chapters to raise awareness about the campaign and give 
chapters valuable organizing experience. This could include a day of action in which 
chapters host speaking tours, town halls, canvasses, or watch parties; coordinated 
social media activities, like selfie videos or hashtags; or lobby days or direct actions 
where activists raise demands that are core to Sanders’s platform, like Medicare for All, 
College for All, or Green New Deal. 
 
 
Compliance 
 
The Committee shall develop comprehensive compliance plans for DSA’s national Bernie 
campaign(s) and for DSA chapters’ and regional bodies’ campaigns. 
 
DSA shall hire a full-time national compliance officer ASAP after January NPC meeting to 
advise DSA national and ultimately chapters on developing compliance plans for 2020 electoral 
campaigns, e.g. whether and how much we can coordinate with the Sanders campaign, 
fundraising, etc. This officer can also help with compliance for all other election campaigns in 
2019-20. 
 
This compliance officer will develop a plan for ensuring (1) DSA works within the law both to 
maximize its impact on this race and to use this work to build DSA; (2) chapters know how to 
follow the law in doing their Bernie work and where and how to get their questions answered; 
and (3) an efficient method for tracking and reporting expenditures by locals. 
 
Chapter Support 
 

7
The Committee shall develop a robust system of support for DSA chapters’ local and statewide 
campaigns for Sanders. 
 
One of the most urgent and valuable roles National can take on is to put into place an 
infrastructure comprised of specific resources chapters can tap into when starting Bernie 
organizing. The combination of resources and training will help chapters — especially those 
who haven’t participated in electoral work yet — develop the systems and institutional 
knowledge necessary to effectively build campaigns around the presidential race, as well as 
grow their own chapters through this work. This chapter support plan lays out the specific 
resources (a national voter database that is up and ready to go soon, a volunteer management 
structure that chapters can use if they need, a clear process put into place to activate new DSA 
members or DSA-curious Bernie volunteers and trainings, so that DSA chapters can quickly 
demonstrate through regular collection and reporting of voter contact, voter registration and 
volunteer metrics, its effectiveness on the ground. Trainings will help the thousands of potential 
new organizers in DSA learn the necessary skills to talk to voters about the many issues 
chapters are working around, how to identify supporters, how to track support, how to register 
new voters and engage them further, how to recruit and retain new volunteers and how to use 
Bernie’s campaign as an opportunity to further develop and grow all the other campaigns a 
chapter might be involved in. It is important that these tools be put into place immediately so 
that there is time for trainings to happen around the tools and for the chapters to adapt to the 
use of them.  
 
1. In the immediate (February, March 2019) the committee shall put into place tools and 
trainings, building a national infrastructure which chapters can tap into once they begin 
organizing work around Bernie. The committee’s goal shall be to set up these systems, 
even before there is an announcement from Bernie or an endorsement from National, so 
that when these events happen, chapters can hit the ground running. The infrastructure 
put into place by National can be used by chapters not just for Bernie organizing but for 
other campaigns both during and beyond the 2020 presidential election cycle. The 
committee shall coordinate a number of tasks, including but not limited to the following: 
 
a. The distribution of the organizing plan to all chapters. 
b. Support for chapters to engage in discussion and debate around the 
endorsement and work Bernie’s campaign may trigger. 
c. Identifying lead chapters ready to launch work immediately and be visibly doing 
work. 
d. A process for supporting chapters as they navigate issues of compliance, 
including an accessible FAQ with a clear path for chapters to get questions 
answered.  
e. Identify, share, and train chapters on voter management tools that national 
purchases. 
f. Develop a process for connecting volunteers with chapters. 
g. Develop a path to work for members not in chapters. 

8
 h. Develop broad comms strategy, including talking points for chapters to build 
their own comms strategies.  
i. Develop a list of political education resources for chapters to include in 
campaign work. 
j. Plan for a centralized DSA/Bernie website which will include an events structure 
volunteers can easily connect to chapter work through. 
 
2. In the next 6 months (April - September 2019) the committee shall focus on helping 
chapters build capacity, develop leadership, meet chapter goals, train members in a 
variety of skills, and keep chapters connected to each other through regular calls and 
meetings designed to increase overall institutional knowledge. This is a make or break 
moment where DSA can demonstrate its effectiveness and value to a national 
campaign. The committee shall prioritize and support chapters’ collection of all voter 
and volunteer contact metrics, so that work chapters are engaged in can be accurately 
assessed, supported and further developed through chapter leadership. During this 
time the committee will coordinate a number of tasks, including but not limited to the 
following: 
 
a. Launch an organizer program to help train new organizers in chapters 
b. Launch comms strategy and training for chapters. 
c. Campaign in a box 
d. Launch website with centralized event calendar, volunteer opportunities, etc. 
e. Launch and assist with data and/or voter management. 
f. Establish regular calls and check-ins 
g. Conduct regular trainings 
h. Encourage and support chapters to establish campaign goals that are 
measurable, including but not limited to the following: 
i. Voter contact goals 
ii. Leadership development goals 
iii. Volunteer recruitment  
iv. DSA membership 
v. Coalition partners (labor in particular) 
vi. Voter registration goals 
 
3. The longer term goals for DSA are to demonstrate and document the work DSA carries 
out, to be a significant factor in the success of the the Bernie Sanders campaign and to 
grow DSA chapters, leadership and knowledge through the work. The committee will 
continue coordinating prior support for chapters and will revise and adapt in a way that 
best supports the work that chapters are doing and wanting to do around the Sanders’ 
campaign. The committee shall coordinate what is needed to support chapters 
continued work, including but not limited to the following. 
 

9
 a. Continuation of work launched previously, adapted based on reaching new 
growth goals. 
b. Support for chapters navigating nuanced political environments 
 
 
How the Bernie campaign relates to DSA’s Medicare for All Campaign 
 
DSA’s Medicare for All campaign spent the last year developing a national organizing 
infrastructure that could provide a strong base for a DSA Bernie 2020 campaign. In particular 
two subcommittees of the campaign should be used as a foundation to help launch a potential 
Bernie 2020 campaign: the Organizing Subcommittee and the Communications Subcommittee. 
In many DSA chapters, the Medicare for All campaign or Health Justice Working Group 
represents a good springboard for Bernie 2020 work: these chapters have been involved in 
mass outreach and canvassing work around a proposal so closely associated with Sanders’ 
name. The DSA M4A Organizing Subcommittee and Regional Organizers have built solid ties 
with chapter leaders working on Medicare for All and are well positioned to support many of 
these leaders as they develop Bernie 2020 campaigns.  
 
The fight for Medicare for All will extend beyond the 2020 elections, regardless of the outcome. 
For this reason the Medicare for All campaign should not fold completely into a Bernie 
campaign. It should continue to support Medicare for All chapter organizing as well as maintain 
it’s existing communications channels: Twitter, Facebook, and the Medicare for All newsletter. 
However, since a Bernie Sanders presidency represents the mostly likely scenario in which a 
true Medicare for All program is realized, the M4A Steering Committee supports turning a good 
deal of the Medicare for All campaign infrastructure toward a DSA Bernie 2020 campaign when 
and if DSA endorses.  
 
Recommendation developed by M4A Steering Committee in collaboration with Political 
Subcommittee, Organizing Subcommittee, Communication Subcommittee, and DSA chapter 
activists. Full report included in the M4A NPC report, can be read here. 
 
Building Labor Support and “Labor for Bernie” 
 
The DSLC has a significant role to play in a potential Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential 
campaign. We can help to substantially expand the Labor for Bernie network and get more 
unions to endorse him. This process involved rank-and-file agitation over the democratic 
procedures involved in unions giving such endorsements. This provides an occasion where 
DSA chapters can develop closer ties with the labor movement. This is also an opportunity to 
bring up broader political demands within unions such as Medicare for All, Green New Deal, 
Jobs Guarantee, criminal justice reform, and free public education. 
 

10
Building Campus Support for Bernie 
 
At YDSA’s most recent convention the organization overwhelmingly passed a resolution in 
support of preparing to support a Bernie Sanders presidential campaign in 2020. This effort is 
intended to help imbue the campaign with an organized socialist, anti-racist, and 
anti-imperialist contingent as well as connecting YDSA militants to a genuine mass movement 
through which they can organize alongside a broader layer of progressive and working class 
youth.  
 
The YDSA National Coordinating Committee recently passed a proposal forming a national 
YDSA Bernie 2020 Campaign Committee to be made up of representatives from all our current 
priority committees as well as the NCC. This committee will develop a list of point persons for 
the Bernie campaign at every chapter and each member of the committee will be responsible 
for having one on one conversations with each point person in order to keep them up to date 
with our campaign plans and take feedback from the chapters about what kind of resources 
chapters need. Seeing as the kind of work each chapter will be doing for the Bernie 2020 
campaign will vary greatly depending on geography and local DSA initiatives, we believe this 
structure will allow national YDSA to coordinate efforts around the campaign while still giving 
chapters control over their exact strategy. YDSA will also be holding a workshop and a plenary 
about socialist efforts around the Bernie campaign at our Winter Conference in February.

Coordinating Committee
