I disagree that she’d be more effective as a streamer. She needs to be honest with herself and do what is best for her, but her becoming an influencer full time I think it becomes really easy to write her off. And then go further to say look left politics doesn’t have the staying power elect me I have bank money.

I’m not a diehard fan and I recognize she has a lot of flaws but she brings people to these ideas and has been instrumental in putting more people in leadership positions. Half of DSA’s membership can be tied to her election and that means something even if you think they’re not as effective as your local trots.

I take an opinion that we need to basebuild through familiar reform processes before pursuing revolution - Americans are not Russians and have the illusion of change through legal processes. So to me her work is important to organize and radicalize. If she stays in office and doesn’t do anything but tweet nice things for 4-6 more years then at worst that helps bring a few thousand in that could otherwise go to the right.
