I want to weigh in on the call from Jeremy Gong and Nick French (“G-F”) for a new progressive mass organization, and the response from Jared Abbott and David Duhalde (“A-D”).
Nu? What's wrong with the Working Families Party? It's organized already, and fits the gap between the sclerotic Democrats and the juvenile DSA. They have a good sense of when to support the Democrats, and when to fight them.
Hi Zig. Didn't the WFP get rolled by Cuomo in NY? Aside from that, I think they are just fine wherever they operate.
However, I think the democratic socialist brand is important as a direction to promote, and DSA is the only one doing that. WFP does have the advantage of being non-sectarian and not being influenced by naive ultra-lefts.
