I get that CPUSA has some bad reputation. This clip is a part of a call-in show. It features 4-5 calls from American hogs and the CPUSA guy responds to their questions. I think that this interview was interesting at least. I will post more information in a comment.

We do not play lesser evilism.
Then why do thier leaders parrot it? Just saying the leaders seem all to willing to look the other way on Democrats when they should be considered equal threats. Perhaps there is a disconnect between membersship and leaders which makes the organization appear bad.
Our leaders do not parrot this line.
The membership ultimately elects the Nat'l Committee. We have several new Nat'l members soon enough from various districts, including Justine Medina.
I think that many members lived through Reagan and don't want another repeat of that, but I think that we definitely consider the Democrats a threat, just going by my own District Organizer (D.O.) alone, who is in Nat'l.
I literally got into a fight with leadership over the lesser evilism at my districts convention. CPUSA absolutely parrots this line. It's the reason I have quit the party and am looking elsewhere. Tune into good morning revolution like, ever. It's clear as day, and its been the case for as long as I've been alive. There are articles from the 2000s on the party website where they were spouting the lesser evil narrative even back then.
I'm not gonna just sit back and watch you spout the same bullshit line that "the party is improving, the libs are just the old guard". Joe Sims is deeply revisionist, deeply reformist, yet is practically WORSHIPED by some members. That isn't going to change anytime soon.
They do not. The 2000s was ages ago, as far as the org is concerned. And I watch Good Morning, Revolution every day.
Joe Sims is to the left of John Bachtell and brought the organization to new heights. I hope he's voted in for another term.
What?
