Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.
Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo
Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting
Deeply unserious people
For context this article is written by a caucus in DSA called Red Star. They’re MLs and part of a Marxist majority on DSA’s leadership committee. One of the two cochairs of DSA is from this caucus. The members being criticized here are from R&R, a Trotskyist caucus with no representation in leadership, and SMC, a social democratic caucus that is part of a minority in leadership.
I think this context is important because it seems most people outside of DSA don’t understand how it works. It’s not the most well defined organization but thats has allowed it to accumulate a large number of members. As such, it’s become a site of struggle with many dedicated communists trying to educate and radicalize open minded members. It shouldn’t be written off.
