'Regular progressivism is not cutting it anymore for the far Left. To the extremists, conservatives are bigoted and hateful, and even the far Left is dangerously moderate.' -Briana Oser

Connolly has co-sponsored 31 progressive bills and is rated an"A+" on the Progressive Massachusetts Legislature Scorecard. But that is not enough for the DSA. In Boston, the more extreme the Left gets, the more it opposes its political representatives.The DSA’s expulsion of Connolly is a small piece of a bigger conflict: the infighting between the “center” Left and the far Left. The infighting is mostly sparked by a small but vocal minority vying for ideological “purity.

According to the DSA, one of Connolly’s crimes against ideological “purity” was his support of Democrat Lydia Edwards’s state Senate campaign. But Edwards is a golden example of progressivism: She is the first person of color and the first woman to represent her district. Her campaign goal was to diversify the Senate in order to open up more racial justice conversations.

Edwards went so far as to liken the DSA to white supremacists because they seem to “believe they know what is better for BIPOC people.” Her remarks pertained in particular to the progressive movement to defund the police. She said, “I can’t think of a greater way to say, ‘I am white, rich, and privileged. So privileged I can afford to have an arrest record.’”
