    The critisism was valid. Israel should not get defensive weapons. When she changed her position on the issue, the dsa reconciliated with her. You will get nothing for acting like a cultist to any politician.

      I always tell people to look at Frederick Douglas and Bayard Rustin.

      Douglas backed Lincoln over a full on abolition candidate because Douglas knew Lincoln had the better chance.

      Rustin was a gay man who never once pushed MLK to talk about gay rights.

      But we must have perfection right now!

          Between 12 and 60 million people died as the result of the African slave trade.

          And I’m pretty sure Frederick Douglas would have known something about that.
