    DSA currently debating whether to expand national staff support for mass trainings (the opponents don't want too much centralization), and there's a point of order: "Can we please use 'comrade' as an honorific instead of 'sir' or 'madam'?"

        This stuff is always interesting to watch: DSA has grown very fast in an even faster-changing environment of social change, new thinking on gender fluidity, etc. So you hear people saying "sir" by accident and getting chagrined.

        The idea that comrade is used for this is so funny to me given how it's been co-opted in Chinese to mean LGBT
