I would like to thank Dennis Brasky ("I hope John is happy being politically in bed with Harris' newest supporters - W Bush, Dick Cheney, and their Att Gen Alberto Gonzales who defended the US torture at Abu Gharib in Iraq (remember those disgusting photos?) and Guantanamo as being legal?") and Mark Lause (" There is no "anti-fascist coalition" in this election. A coalition represents different interests combining in pursuit of a common goal. Socialists voting Democratic have no distinct visibility or influence in the election whatsoever. Your ballot WILL be indistinguishable from that of Dick Cheneys. That's just the hard reality of it.") for their comments in response to my article "Why socialists should argue for a vote for the Democrats: Some lessons from history <https://oaklandsocialist.com/2024/09/27/why-socialists-should-argue-for-a-vote-for-the-democrats-some-lessons-from-history/>". That they didn't even pretend to try to answer the points I raised is mute confession that they have no serious argument. This is all too typical of the sectarian, living-in-its-own-echo-chamber, "socialism".
Meanwhile, it is so significant that they utter not a word about the silence of their sectarian co-thinkers (e.g. the administrators of this email list) when these co-thinkers are in the presence of the big names on the left, the "national experts", like La Botz and Bill Fletcher jr. This whole "revolutionary socialist" crowd reminds me of our dear sweet little dog Coco. She sits up in our window on the second floor and barks viciously at every dog that passes by on "her" street below. But let Coco be out, unleashed on the street, alongside of that other dog and she is as sweet as a lamb.
