this is the social democrat wing of DSA, she's trying to empower them to crush the almost-in-control marxist wings

I highly doubt anything Pelosi does is going to crush a clique from advancing in an already infiltrated controlled opposition group

Because Dean Preston is rich as fuck.

This is like when the guy who was just extremely cruel to you for no reason tries to apologize.

Revealing the full extent of controlled opposition within a party is intended to demoralize actual interparty radicals while fostering justified paranoia and division among the ranks, also signals to other opportunists hiding in the weeds to come out and play

If Dean Preston had a socialist or competent bone in his body, he'd condemn the endorsement and start messaging around party unity and independence
