what’s the end goal here Zohran. ‘Socialism’ (actually social democracy) but with a roving gang of armed and organized fascists that we just ignore? are we just going to kick the issue of systemic racism down the road because it’s “woke 1” to even talk about, until it becomes a powder keg again? this is the actual internal DSA white chauvinism contradiction that MSM are clawing to find but they won’t use it as a real wedge because it’d increase the salience of Defund again

Agreed. I don’t expect everyone to be leading with “death to United Snakes of Amerikkka” but socialist electeds need to lead on issues and sometimes those issues won’t be popular yet…that’s why they need leadership
