As with Mamdani in New York and Wilson in Seattle, the DSA-backed campaign of Rae Huang is a political trap.

They seem to be correct, though. Not that their alternative is perfect but I guess I'd rather have Trots gain prominence than liberals who adopt leftist aesthetics and waste a generation of young leftists with nothing more than Democratic Party candidacies.

Seems like the effective new way to redirect leftist sentiment and smother any revolutionary potential.

It's either that or politicians are forced to take an 'evil' pill the moment they're sworn in.

Trots are 99% correct about things, don't @ me

Well that 1% is my whole world stalin-heart

Beautiful reminder that there's an infinite number of splits to be had about the remaining percent.

appreciate that you are one of probably 3 people here not totally sectarian against trots

the only thing trots are right about in the US is being against the Dems

I'm tempted to add a content warning to their feed based on the amount of times their trot tendency is mentioned when I repost their articles. Just so people see it up front.

WSWS as a source genuinely should be banned. Absolutely worthless.
