    The next centrist move, if I'm reading the tea-leaves right, is to talk about Sanders as a Trotyskite. Which is a) untrue (at worst he might have eaten lunch with a Shachtmanite) and b) faintly anti-Semitic.

        Sanders was affiliated with the Socialist Workers Party (Trotskyist and the opposite of Shachtmanite) for years. He's not a Trotskyist today obviously.

        Gotta love the preemptive allegations of anti-Semitism against unnamed people for attacks that have not actually happened.

        "Being held to account" for being a socialist? That's a moral failing? Better he should be held to account for cravenly backing away from his policy positions on border cruelty -- that's something that actually matters, that a president will bear direct responsibility for.

        He was a delegate for the Socialist Workers Party in the 1980s, tho. (An explicitly Trotskyite party....)

        Maybe if you're not familiar with the history of the SWP! As early as 1982, the SWP (US), they started to drift away and become increasingly inactive with the Trotskyist movement and formally broke in 1990 with the Fourth International.
