Ok from the USA Today story:
"Sanders, Mallory said, brings the experience of a long-time Senator who continues to work to bring progressive change to government.
"We believe as women ... that we ought to have more than just women at the Women's Convention," Mallory said. "People want to hear from the leadership from within our government who can give us some insight about what's happening ... so we can know what we need to do to be able organize."
There is indeed an appeal in Ms Mallory's quote to Sanders' authority as someone who can help "know what we need to do to be able to organize".
I don't find the person who posted that making any claim that the organizers do need help. Nor do I see any claim by that poster that they need help because they are WOC. Just that they aren't that good at PR, and they've released a lot of statements that aren't that consistent. Known that poster for a while she is def not an "enemy" of WOC.

One poster wrote: "111. I'm starting to wonder if the "organizers" are really the organizers."
Ok maybe I am dumb as a stump but that is such a vague statement. First time I read it I skimmed and thought it meant the organizers weren't organized.
Second time I read it as a comment on the number of Our Revolution staff involved. You read as orgazed by Putin.
Def see what your saying, this opinion is an outlier no matter which of these interps are correct.
However I don't see anything I can interpret in that post as disrespect to organizers because of Race/or are WOC.
I am gonna pm you in a sec for that nonsense Putin post, that needs hard pushback and I can't find it (0n tablet w/o page search.)
