The last time the DSA did a census on its members was in 2021 back when we had about 90k members. In the last 5 years we’ve gained 30k hovering around 120k members (I’m using Wikipedia so info might be off) so I was wondering if anyone else thinks it’s time for the leaders to do another survey. The last one found that the average member was a collage educated middle class white person aged 30ish and I’m interested to see how that’s changed.

In my opinion a large reason why the blacks lost the war was because they repeatedly fucked over the two dudes with massive ass dragons. If Ulf and Hugh didn’t turn cloak then the war might be salvaged. I’m going to be talking about the show because I just watched the most recent episode. But Daemon constantly harassing Ulf ticked me off because it’s a terrible idea to piss of a dude with a fucking dragon whose loyalty might waver. Another problem is that Dansln denied Alys Harrenhal.
Here’s a solution that solves everything, Ulf is a prick with high ambitions so marry him to Alys and grant them Harrenhal, this should satisfy him because the castles huge and he gets a hot wife. You can tell the Freys that their deal is invalid because Jace never confirmed it with the crown (the winter wolfs already crossed so it dosent matter much) Hugh seems to be a much more reasonable man so we can give him less. A small seat like Holyhall should do consider they sided with the greens. Alyn seems to be doing this for honor, but we can still legitimize him and his brother.
Boom, now Ulf and Hugh have reasons to stay loyal (say that they’ll only be granted access to the castles when the wars over) and they have sufficient rewards. I bet if Daemon stopped being an ass things would help to.

Let’s say that Aegon is in Oldtown visiting his brother and Rhaenyra is in Kings Landing visiting her dad with her kids when Vizzy T kicks the bucket. How do you think the war would play out? Because now Rhaenyra is on the same playing field as the greens. They both learn about the death at the same time and are forced to call allies together.

After the death of Renly the Tyrell’s seemingly had 2 options, join Stannis, the man who killed their king. Or bend the knee to Joffrey. But there was a 3rd option they did not take, one located in Storms End. They could have declared Edric Storm Renlys last true heir after Stanni’s treason. Married him off to Margaery to maintain the alliance between the Stomlands and Reach. Edric is young (around 11 at the beginning of the war) but this is a benefit and a negative, while they won’t have a warrior king who cuts down foes by the dozens. Edric will be much more susceptible to a regents influence (mayhaps his father in law Mace?) which will breed more Tyrell control.)
If the Tyrell’s follow this plan I see things working out well, they have the superior numbers to Stannis, all they had to do after Renlys death was march to Storms End with the Bitterbridge host and defeat Stannis. Due to the sheer numbers difference (around 75k to Stannis’s 20k) I image many of the Stormlords who defected to Stannis rejoining the Tyrell’s again. Edric was a well liked child so I don’t envision too much opposition to his crowning.
And after they secure Edric the rest should be a cakewalk, they have more men then practically every other faction. All they need to do is march to K.L and take the city.

Something I didn’t learn until today is that Edric has two half brothers on his mother’s side named Alester and Renly. This does make me wonder how well he gets along with the two of them, if he’s even met them at all. Same with his mother Delena. I image that he does not see the 3 of them that often
