It seems so unimportant to me to focus on the tendency / the historical individual they supposedly look up to. Like really, what does a "trot" actually do differently than an "ML" in the context of American politics? I think this concept needs to be combatted in favor of left unity.
Also, participating in elections is good, especially when successfully doing so explicitly against democrats like Kshama. I think "entryism" is doomed to fail because it puts the cart before the horse, before labor is sufficiently organized and militant, but that said I think it's a good exercise in dealing with power and helps spread propaganda.
Maybe I'm not well-read enough on tactical differences between trots and others, but either way I'm 100% in support of Kshama's type of entryism here.

I agree. This is more of a United front than entryism, and it’s part of a longer term strategy of building up cooperation and solidarity on the left
