And today, Russians are proud of, and clear about their 'imperial consciousness' even if their Western apologists are not. "Of course we deny Ukraine the right to sovereignty" on Russia's "imperial consciousness" twitter.com/Gerashchenko...

Back when I listened to Chapo Trap House (🤮), I remembered one of them said the fall of the Soviet Union was one of the biggest tragedies of the 20th century. A lot of these DSA types actually believe that!

definitely not now, if it ever was

Kinda fascinating given how much the base has swung on that issue

She’s the co chair and just stated her position as “we.”

I hope so! It still feels like a lot of ukranazi jokes and blaming it all on NATO though!

I think it's also very important to remember how small a percentage of left of center voters believe some of the crazier things like "Ukraine needs more diplomats" or "abolish the police".

Well wait a second. We send weapons *to* Israel. Not just diplomats.

Josh is right that the silly Romeo does seem to be the go to nut for people wanting to attack the general movement. And she is not helpful.

*inclined, that is

DSA had a perfectly good mechanism to deal with this in the constitution - for reason unknown to me the segment allowing for expulsion of centralist tendencies was removed. Probably because a bunch of centralists joined

Rude to the council of nicea tbh
