    Would you knee-jerk call it a dictatorship? This is the liberalism that DSA chauvinists default to, it’s what appeasing imperialist libs looks like, and it’s how he presented himself and therefore the hot new branding of American socialism.

      I probably wouldn’t now. But I can kinda imagine if I’d had a really good late night with the right person I could be influenced into it.

      He should’ve just said he doesn’t have an opinion.

      Chana I know you’re right you’ve demonstrated it over n over.

        Oh I don’t really mean you in particular like I’m interrogating you. I just mean that he said something pretty bad.

        And I don’t give folks like this the benefit of the doubt. They have heard this kind of lecture many times even within just DSA. They are triangulating and/or sharing their actual chauvinism.
