So far Ayanna’s victory in Massachusetts has been a large step to the right https://theintercept.com/2018/08/18/...setts-primary/

And other ‘progressive candidates seem to be using identity politics to silence the socialist/worker movement and the anti-imperialism movement in favor of corporate donors (like Ayanna received) and ‘nuanced’ pro war positions.

Back in the day, left wing activists use to stand for something like Eugene Debbs. Now millennials are using identity politics to cover up protests of the drone program, worker slave wages, corporate panels in international trade deals, support of dictators who help us exploit resources, etc.

All I see is the leftist movement wasting its energy moving us to the right (just like Obama, all style, no substance).
