there has been infinitely more DSA outrage about danny than there has been that a seattle berry farm worked a migrant worker to death then fired 70 people who got upset about it. working class solidarity my rear end

that's because the DSA is largely supportive of working migrant workers to death, you're right

the new cool thing to do in the DSA is to threaten to quit if you don't get your way, which is a libertarian socialist ideal

I like the term libertarian socialism because it totally bamboozles American style right-libertarians. "Oh, you're a libertarian? So is this guy Bookchin, you should read him." Then BAM, all of a sudden they support the abolition of private property :cool:

just ignore him and move on, it's 1 guy who has very little power. he's easily sidelined. is it worth tearing the organization apart over? imo, no it's not.

like, i understand why people want him out, and i can definitely sympathize, but i just don't see the material benefit here other than a purely symbolic desire?

The material benefit is that it removes a hinderance to recruitment, especially among minority groups where we ought to be expanding.

he has no power, he can barely do anything. you're pre-supposing a hindrance to recruitment before there even is one, and it remains to be seen if this will have literally any affect. I think DSA members being injured in a clash with literal nazis is going to be play more of a role in people's mind than 1 old dude on a 16(?) person leadership board.
