Iirc Megan is Red Star the ML caucus and Ashik is (was?) from the Groundwork caucus, the extreme opportunist pseudo-Marxists who really only care about attaching DSA's name to electoral victories. Let that color any interpretation of this interview.
I did not watch the interview but the answer is absolutely not. NYC DSA specifically and the organization more broadly do this all the time where they endorse candidates with little to no relationship to the organization to attach their name to an up and coming social democrat. Then, because the DSA lacks any actual proletarian power, the candidate is pressured or caves into bourgeois interests and burns DSA.
