Also, I don't really see how this is "co-opting" the movement.
Brandon Johnson's election was kinda a big deal because it was a direct blow against the Chicago Democratic machine.
He'll probably make a lot of disappointing decisions, no doubt, but for now, I can see why he would be included.
He was also elected on the back of the Chicago Teacher's Union. I guess they aren't real Labor though.
Chicago Teachers' Union was one of the first to call for a ceasefire.
The foreign policy of a teacher's union is orthogonal to their purpose and is also irrelevant.
It's not irrelevant.
Economism is bad.
