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

No doubt, but also the mayoral race will have an immediate impact on many people's lives. I think it's fair to have it be one of many scopes one considers

i dont disagree with you. everything has an immediate impact on peoples lives. the question to me is more of organisational capacity. does it make sense to support every DSA member / progressive democrat? or should more resources be spent building up the grassroots base of the party? Obviously both is ideal, but in organising you have to make choices. And I know that conditions in the US are what they are, but I am very against a conciliatory stance with the dems and more for running as an opposition party.
