I'm not sure I'm following all this correctly but there's clearly a tactical disagreement about the race for the nomination among the pro-Bernie left. His campaign has chosen a side: impeaching the racist president, dismantling white supremacy, ICE abolition. https://twitter.com/brotherbeat/status/1192501926207918081 …
These are new-lib cultural free spaces that sound nice and cost nothing. If these are your 'traps,' the heart of the disagreement is whether springing them will have the effect the DNC intends. I don't think it would.

Consider that Sanders *has to* spring at least two similar traps: reparations and open borders. That will undermine the dance he does around race and immigration. Instead, he could directly associate with the boogeymen and let the leftlibs make all the inferences they want.

We collectively expect - or at least hope - he'll be free to do this in the general. My bet is he could do it in the primary as well. Breaking the cultural coalition will change politics in the US permanently. It'll be chaos. It should happen ASAP.

I hope this doesn't come across as a callout. I think this is a valid discussion to have about tactics, and it's possible that voter registration regs in various states could prevent this being viable in the primaries.
