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

    I mean, singling these losers out is cool, but it seems weird to call out all of DSA for the ugly behavior of these two bad actors. After all, this is a statement coming from within DSA. Its not coming from the Cubans themselves. The fucking President took time to meet with them, which would seem to suggest Cuban organizers are largely supportive of these outreach efforts.

    Disagree. An organization is responsible for their members especially when their members are clearly acting in bad faith.

    edit: A strong and healthy organization should be able to absorb the criticism and make internal improvements to regain public faith.

      None of the goals are mentioned, none of the organizations leaders are named, and there’s no mention of when or how the author plans to

      materially intervene against our government’s imperialist aggression by dismantling the embargo

          The author as in the critic blasting the 2 losers?

          The opening complaint is that the International Committee didn’t follow up on the trip properly. This seems to be an indictment of the entire visit, as if the author is trying to dismiss it as a vacation for spoiled rich kids.

          No word on who else attended or what they accompolished or how they planned to continue outreach to Cuba. Just some wishy-washy “We should be fighting imperialism at home” with no other plan of action.

            Demanding that people come up with a detailed 69-point plan for global revolution before they can criticize social chauvinism in their party is absurd and bad faith behavior on your part
