My experience with DSA is that it’s so incredibly chapter dependent that it basically doesn’t matter at all what the national organization says. There are DSA chapters near that are great orgs and there are also ones I wouldn’t piss on if they were on fire unless I had the capacity to urinate kerosene.

Particularly because the things where a fairly marginal organization like DSA is most able to actually matter are often hyper local, city council level stuff that it’s unlikely the national organization has a stance on.

It would give me pause if the socialist org I was a part of was effectively fighting against socialist goals. Not a problem for you apparently.

Who gives a poo poo? If you are able to do concrete good things with the people of that organization in your own local context, why should you care at all what someone in a different city with an organization that shares the same name does? My goals are material, not spiritual, and I honestly find it incredibly difficult to give a poo poo that people in the same org might not share The True Thought or whatever if they’re helping me push for the city council to legalize SROs or whatever.
