It's interesting to me, and hopeful, that there is a real debate about the Sanders campaign at North Star, and that even people there who are critical of the idea of supporting the Sanders campaign acknowledge that the Sanders campaign is a positive development for people in the United States who want to see "socialist organizing" become a practical political project in the United States.
That, in itself, is a positive development. I would say though, contra this writer, that there is a range of things that one can do to "support Sanders." There seems to be a kind of strawman on offer, that the choices are "give your life over to the Sanders campaign and swear fealty to the Democratic Party forevermore" vs. "stand aside untainted." Why? Why can't I support the Sanders campaign in the morning, support locked out workers in the afternoon, be a critical critic of US imperialism in the evening, all without "becoming" Sanders supporter or critical critic?
