TL; DR for people who don't want to read all that: Lee Carter is calling out the DC chapter of the DSA for being abusive towards him and his family.

That chapter of the DSA is apparently lead by a former staffer at Center for American Progress

DSA seems like it's super bad and just an avenue for Democrats to offset anger at their party by funneling people into supporting the party but doing so in a way that makes it seem like they are not.

Like I'm not going to respect any leftist org that has an alumni for CAP as a leader and it makes every other branch suspect no matter how many times I am told that they have no interconnectivity.

Alternatively, Democrats could negate the automatic cuts if they raise taxes to prevent adding to the debt or abolish the filibuster, another political can of worms.

I think that guy and the fact that a supposedly socialist and leftist organization didn't intially care or have any way to really deal with it easily showed that they had already been lost at that point.

I think AOC isn't that stupid, I think she's knowingly misinforming her fans in order to create the illusion she's getting something for them in the future and to get them conditioned to be another generation of voters that don't expect their political representatives to be able to deliver actual tangible results. She's not the point in her career after two years where she is concerned primarily with her own job security since she knows she will never actually get anything real done in congress.

the interactions I have had with DSA people have been (for the most part) not great.

Asking too many questions about what "organize!" means usually ends with being ignored, condescension or hostility. A few of them are cool though.

Which sucks because there's no Socialist Alt in KS or MO so they're the only option lol

Wait I thought that the dsa would obviously be supportive of lee carter but they just hadn't voted to support him yet. Wasn't that the line earlier in the thread when I made fun of the dsa guys for openly supporting ossoff and not carter? Or is it just "those are separate local organizations that coincidentally share a name but are actually unaffiliated" again

You really are a louse...
I don't think "oh yeah well CAP is just as bad as the military" is a great defense of why I should think CAP lady is inherently worse than being in the military. Sounds like both have troubling career backstories.

That said the economic conditions that can force a non-fash into the army are a lot different than the economic forces that might lead you to CAP editing. That also said idk i don't think someone's career past matters as much as their current political work, that seems like a weird hill to fight over.
