> replace it with some "workers will decide" socialist mumbo-jumbo.

Isn't it clear to you that you're misrepresenting DSA's position?

This 100%.

I think most of us want a moderate Democrat. I hope populism dies with Trump/MAGA in the coming years. We don’t need to match them with our own distasteful populism.

>But- It's worked pretty well over the last few hundred years.

Except form the million of black people living in the south of the US. For them, the USA is a democracy only since 1964.

And if you argue "yes but it got better", the Republicans are making everything to get back to before 1964.

Incidentally, your "we can't let workers decide" sounds a lot like "we can't let negroes vote" or "we can't let women vote". And is as much FUD.
