No idea how I'm crafting a strawman and also I never even brought up Turner. I'm just simply pointing out that being a press secretary for a campaign is not a lifetime contract or a blood oath but somehow you chose to interpret that differently.You’re trying to craft a strawman here and I’m not sure why.
We all know Symone Sanders Tory. She’s even wrote a book on it.
The difference between her and the other two women mentioned is that they do fashion themselves as socialists or as you put it, “soldiers of the revolution.”
There’s a reason why folks Call BJG a grifter and not Turner. One appears to be larping.
So did Bernie lose the 2020 campaign because BJG is an accelerationist or is she grifting as an accelerationist now, after the campaign loss. Has she been larping as an accelerationist even during the campaign? You're arguing both sides with yourself.Won't happen, but people ask why folks bring Bernie into it is because his top 2 people on his 2020 campaign are accelerationist and it's clear why his movement torpedoed after his 2016 gains.
Me personally I don't really give a fukk what she is because she's irrelevant, first as a campaign press secretary (nobody even knows who was Biden's 2020 campaign press secretary) and second as a commentator/pundit because she gets no views. Her only relevance is that she can get platformed as a progressive as @storyteller pointed out.
As far as grifting goes, I'm more inclined to agree with @mastermind on this. If she's grifting she going about it in the worst way possible. There is a clear blueprint for 'leaving the left', well established and very profitable. And for a black woman that shift has to be even more flagrant but would probably be even more profitable.
But I'll admit that I've only seen some of her tweets, part of her Sam Seder debate and a large part of this Kyle Kulinski debate on 2x speed because again I don't really think she matters nearly as much as this thread makes her out to.
