The "centrist" think tank Third Way is looking to pay someone between $140,000 and $150,000 to spend their days trying to dig up dirt on DSA members. They're trying to sell this gig as "anti-extremism" work, which I find completely disgusting.
from job listing:

As the Director of Anti-Extremism, a typical day might include…

Assembling and updating a database of the DSA’s most extreme ideas and statements and a repository of voting records, affiliations, and issue positions to make available to allies and partners;
Leading public opinion research to identify and test the contrasts that move base voters away from these extreme candidates;
Overseeing the development of memos, talking points, rapid response materials, and other products that make the case against these extreme forces in American politics;
Promoting and marketing our research and materials to ensure they reach decisionmakers quickly, repeatedly, and at scale through a coordinated distribution infrastructure;
Recruiting and arming a group of young, diverse spokespeople to fight the DSA from a center-left perspective and assembling a broad coalition of organizational partners to make the case against extremism;
Running an earned media program to create a drumbeat of our message in op-eds, television appearances, podcasts, and traditional and digital media engagement.

Words have meaning, you know. Having a majority of elected leaders comprised of women and people of color is the opposite of tokenism. Having a few would be tokenism. Furthermore, if a bunch of white people as you say are voting for mostly nonwhite people, is that supposed to be a bad thing? ↓

The majority of DSA electeds are women AND people of color. Its easy to verify. Not only is your comment a cynical/bad faith use of identity politics, its factually wrong too. Blue MAGA is ideologically and morally bankrupt. Its only a matter if time before they are swept out of power.
