I've heard some scuttlebutt about the ISO being "convulsed in a line
struggle over supporting Bernie in 2020". Here's a link to discussions
about "inside-outside" in their newspaper:

And here's an article by Danny Katch suggesting that they are trying to
figure out ways to develop a united front with the Sanders campaign
without using that term:

Katch writes: "This time, Bernie is also bolstered by prominent
socialists like Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose
elections to Congress last year now make Sanders look less like a lone
prophet and more like a trendsetter."
Is A. O-C a socialist? Is Sanders a socialist? What does that really
mean? During his Town Hall meeting on CNN, the execrable Wolf Blitzer
said something like "As a socialist, do you..." Sanders corrected him by
saying "I am a *democratic* socialist".
What a load of crap. Just go through Eugene V. Debs's speeches and there
are no mealy-mouthed formulations. He tells it like it is, just like
Malcolm X did. If ISO ends up calling for a Sanders vote in 2020, it
would be a grievous setback for the left.
