    milquetoast moderates

    The big takeaway for me is people are u ironically calling Crowley a “milquetoast moderate”…

    Dude has literally sued his police department…

    Not just personally sued them, joined an existing ACLU class action.

    Then became vice chair of the same city:s ACLU chapter…

    I wanted Hong to win too, but it’s concerning so many people are quick to paint this guy like you just did.

    He seems fine, and while I may have missed something, I usually don’t.

      He supports the genocide in Gaza and cynically weaponizes identity politics to defend his position. He said he considers being called an establishment candidate a slur. Crowley is not fine, he’s a sellout who fails the most basic test of moral character that is condemning an ongoing genocide in which our own government is complicit.

      The DSP arm hate the impure: anyone slightly less to the left than them.

      Dynamics work the same on the edges, left or right

        Not really, it’s desperate propaganda to divide the party.

        What I did was say that divide is stupid and highlight that sometimes more than one person running in a primary could make a good politician.

        What you did, was divide the party
