But I don't think it relates to this, in part because his behavior
during the whole thing ended up being the main reason I thought he
shouldn't be in leadership. I didn't vote for him, taking issue with his
opinion for orientation with the Democratic Party, and afterward took
issue with his not mentioning CLEAT in his statements that year, but
reading his later statements and hearing about his interactions with
comrades after the election became as much a concern as the rest for
many of us.


I don't know that much about Fotente but was struck by Serpico's praise 
of the Black officer that asked him to speak at a rally for Kaepernick. 
What would a left group do if a younger version of Serpico applied for 
membership? Or this Black officer?

Danny Fentone wasn’t officially outsted. DSA’s NPC came o the conclusion
that there wasn’t a proper mechanism for recall of Fentone. NPC called for
a dialogue with Fentone to remedy the impasse. Fentone then decided to
leave DSA because he felt DSA has gone too Left and new DSA members were
not like the old DSA members.
