Successful socdem policy without laundering people leftwards by defending AES is actively harmful to socialism. It reduces the possibility of socialism occurring in the US and it reduces the support for socialism outside the US.
It is social chauvinism and reinforces capitalism rather than weakening it. Does it improve lives? Yes. Does it help socialism? Absolutely the opposite. Obviously we can not and should not oppose good policy that will help workers (accelerationism) but we should loudly criticise him for this position as harmful to socialists.
the democratic party is a big tent, from rent freezes and medicare for all to genocide and “reaching across the aisle” to people they called nazis a week ago.

reinforcing capitalism is nearly every
politician isn’t it?
he’s not and never positioned himself as the revolution, but a rent freeze and city grocery stores are incredibly radical for american politics.
Sure but I’m not going to do anything except give him shit and criticism now. Being good for a liberal is still being a liberal.
of course. he was never the revolution and all this “fell for it” shit doesn’t scan for me because we all knew he was a lib
I didn’t. I’ve defended him.
