It really makes me laugh when I see the likes of mbaugher denounce me for having voted for Biden in 2020. In the first place, as is typical of the sectarians, he hides behind the issue of Biden's support for Israel's genocidal war. The fact is that he and the other sectarians consider it to be a matter of absolute principle, good for all times and places, to never vote for any bourgeois Democrat. That's the real issue. Of course, I didn't notice these sectarians attack the entire left in Brazil for supporting the bourgeois Lula against Bolsonaro in the second round of the elections there. But what does consistency matter to the sectarians?
But more to the point: When Baugher & Co. organized a forum on the "new" labor movement, they made sure that there would not be a single speaker who opposed the union leadership's absolute support for the Democrats. Then, 2 of the 3 speakers predictably defended those links, while the third one focused on petty details. What was the response of these ferocious "Marxists"? They were quiet as a churchmouse. Then, after I expressed my opposition to that connection, Baugher clearly considered this to be beyond the pale. It's all too typical: shout and rage about the Democrats in these nice, safe ultra-left echo chambers and then, when confronted with the soft left "national experts" be quiet as a churchmouse.
