Is there any veracity to the claim that “the PSL covered up SA allegations”? I hear it a lot in discussions surrounding the PSL. I wanna know if this is a valid concern

    I hope you’ll forgive me, my steam is running out for reading and replying here, so I don’t have too much more in me.

    On the difference between the DNC and PSL: sure, it’s not an exact comparison, but does it matter to a mouse if it’s being crushed by a person or an elephant?

    On developing better processes: it seems like PSL is working on something, at least, most of the examples seem to be several years old.

    I really agree with you on not labeling the org as a whole as bad, and that’s what I’m finding so frustrating here. I think the PSL is probably the better of the parties in the U$, but there’s some fucked up stuff that (allegedly) happened at some points. Is it so difficult to say they’re pretty good, but have some faults?

    The Philly thing specifically has been struggled over since genzedong on Reddit, and it doesn’t seem to ever be accepted that it happened and it was fucked up, and move past that. The insinuation that this is some kind of opp really burns me because no one cares about this. No one at all. It pops up every once in a while in these spaces, but it’s not part of some real unified smear campaign against PSL. No one gives a fuck. If this had happened to someone I love I’d at least want it to be acknowledged.
