      Mostly we need our orgs to shake the accusation that they’re tailing the democrats or too heavily invested in electoral politics. CPUSA has real trouble with this. I’m not saying these accusations are accurate, but if so many people come to that conclusion we’re doing something wrong. I think part of it is the associated publication, People’s World. Some of those articles are absolute trash and really harm the party’s image
