Lol okay, I do suggest SRA at least. Our local chapter is doing good mutual aid work and we're proud to call them comrades. They've got some drat good trauma response classes, too.
I actually am technically in the SRA but I never learned the secret handshake / joined the correct Slack / participated in the required number of Zoom meetings to actually become a regular member.

Yeah, they are pretty strict with security for obvious reasons, I guess. If I didn't have mental health issues in the family that make having a gun around a bad idea i'd be all over them. Pandemic zoom meetings suck too, so reaching out now that in-person stuff is kicking back in gear may be a good idea.

I think if your local DSA group is making good changes in your community then you should stick with them even if you disagree with the totally impotent foreign policy positions of national DSA.

National DSA could announce that it's now a Zionist body that proudly endorses the Jewish state of Israel and all its very necessary security measures and it wouldn't change the situation in Gaza at all. National DSA could call for nuclear war with Russia and it wouldn't change the situation in Ukraine at all. National DSA does not have power anywhere, don't worry about it.

DSA is sometimes cringe but it's good to organize with people with the intention of making the world better.

Absolutely fair. Socialist Alternative seems pretty awesome in Seattle though, not gonna lie.

Being around people that can actually recognize that our stupid capitalist structure is broken as all hell is good for mental health at the very least. Even better is doing something to start fixing the problems, but even knowing who locally you can go to if poo poo really hits the fan is a good goddamn idea.

Socialist Alternative is openly dual-carding in DSA and has been for about a year. If you wind up participating in person again, you'll find that DSA and SAlt are gonna be working together on a bunch of stuff.

If I can anti suggest SRA I will. National is a goddamn tire fire. They owe like 18k in taxes to the irs and their budget is worse each month. They owe 50k in dues sharing back pay to the chapters. I don't think it's malice or anything, just incompetence originally. I mean the original budgets were paying the vice pres and a Cohost monthly for a podcast that rarely ever released.

(few years ago) the vice pres went on a huge rant about tankies on Twitter and on a livestream and questioning her or the president Alex's decisions would end with you being labeled a transphobe.


Our local people are all great, though. Just don't really see the point of a national org that does nothing national

here's a strange twist. the DSA recently announced a new strategy to push people to the left

the communists were surprised to learn this meant pushing them to the left

the people ive known for years in DSA all made a slack and discord for two separate things (professional / "fun")

the fun part was them making a discord channel to exclusively talk about their Teslas and try to get other people to buy them
