    He also completely undermines his own point by admitting that the American system lacks the parliamentary system that allows for left-leaning parties to extract concessions; we’ll join the governing coalition if you agree to do x, y, and z. There is no such concessions the DSA could get from Biden, endorsing him would get them jack shit. It’s the same old “if just genuflect hard enough to the establishment we’re opposed to, they might drop us some crumbs.”

      tbf they could get concessions from the House Democrats. That’s what “force the vote” was all about, although it should have been directed at removing Pelosi instead of a meaningless symbolic vote on a bill that would never pass. But either way, none of “The Squad” were really on board with that anyway.
