    Amazing how this just hits pretty much every radlib talking point.

    • “we need to work with the Democratic party”
    • “the left wing of the possible” aka “pragmatism”
    • “Marxists are evil dictators”
    • Zionists
    • “Israel has a right to defend itself”
    • “Israel has a right to exist”
    • “RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA, we have to support the Nazis in Ukraine!”
    • Uyghur “genocide”
    • “purity tests”
    • believing the IOF’s claims of Hamas’s actions

    Also, you don’t have to read the article now, I just summed it up. Unless you really want to read about the radlib history of the DSA.
