If you want to assert that, then we do indeed have a disagreement, but I don't think you do."

I'm not saying that exactly, but I'll come very close: if everyone tomorrow were to drop their "issue based" activism and devote their time to organizing a progressive political party, the left would be far more effective than it is today, for reasons I attempt to identify in the piece.

I do think we have a disagreement-but I recognize that i am in the minority on this.

Best,
