    Pro Palestinian politics is already normal among the huge percentage of Americans. Getting 1 politician to come near, but still not to, a position with some backbone, is a success in some small way. But celebrating a small step towards a likely dead end is a dangerous thing. For morale amongst DSA, sure, but that energy should be redirected towards paths that will achieve something durable

      Not in DC where power is actually concentrated, the media and the establishment can easily ignore millions of pro-Palestinian Americans, but they can’t easily ignore the most popular politicians in the country and one of the likely front-runner for 2028

      That has ripple effects that only benefits us and puts eye-balls on our messaging

        Yeah, of course to all this, but then that means that the syrategy cant be ‘get DC people to change position through political pressure campaigns of influence through DSA.’ It’s still attacking the strongest point without having any huge weakness or flaw to exploit, as far as I can tell
