He might be...if I thought Ms. Harris gave a rat's ass about my "loyalty" to her or the other footsie players. It might be...if I were innocent enough to believe that Ms. Harris had any obligation to respond to my claims for "payment," when I had never made those claims a condition of support for her or any other footsie player prior to endorsement, or if I were foolish enough to believe the support of the progressives was in fact organized, program based, or if I was self-deluding enough to think Ms Harris and her collection of footsie players did not already know that, no matter what, come the next election, there will be a greater evil, and all those progressives who demanded this and insisted that, will again fall in line, because after all there is a "lesser evil." > > But at least if he chooses to do so Micheal M. and others like him will be > able to collaborate with the organized left in the party to try to exert > some countervailing pressure.... > > > > Whatever its shortcomings, the DSA and others on the DP left are a more > important constituency than that represented by the Greens That also won't > bring "victory to the masses"anytime soon , but it is at least engagement > with the more politically conscious core of union, party, and movement > activists who consistently vote Democratic. > > So if I understand this correctly, only those who support the Democrats can collaborate with the organized left in the party. Clearly, this means Marv only supports those elements of DSA who insist on loyalty to the Democrats, despite the fact that there is considerable opposition to that within the DSA itself. Here we have the truth of defending the organized left in the Democratic Party-- it means defending the organized right wing of that left. What do you say to that more politically conscious sector in unions and DSA who have been struggling to break the collaboration? "Not now"? "Your time will come"? "Conditions aren't right"? Anybody else remember the treatment of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party at the 1964 convention, when everybody was worried about that greater evil, Goldwater? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
