Eh. I'm just commenting how, for as much as we all get up in arms about what she said or hypothetically should have said, it's all meaningless without the presence of enforceable party message discipline. She won't lose her DSA membership over this. She doesn't and never has had to answer to the party and its members about her public comments. That's regretable, and its's part of why stuff like this keeps happening.
Because of the stuff she put in front of asking for the end of the embargo? Having a Party Line means having more control over messaging so you get more good stuff - like calling for the end of the embargo - and less bad stuff - like (maybe unintentionally) broadcasting imperialism.
I didn't say she doesn't want to end the embargo. I'm saying that by feeding into the narrative she's make it easier for those who support the embargo to use her own words against her.
So she doesn't want to end the embargo, yet she's emphatically calling for an end to the embargo?
She wants to end the embargo, yet she uncritically repeats the reasons the U.S uses to justify the embargo?
She obviously doesn't think those reasons justify the embargo, otherwise she wouldn't be calling for the end of it.

Why would she lose her DSA membership over calling for an end to the Cuban embargo? That's what the left's been asking for since the embargo started!

"Sure they are eating babies but we shouldn't stop them because that would be worse" basically.
