I was involved in a pretty large and successful chapter that hasn't fallen to rancor because of libshit. They're 100% focused on local issues. When the chapter narrowly agreed to put together an organ to promote Bernie's primary campaign in late 2019 there was a collective eye roll from the rank and file. Bernie was simultaneously the best and worst thing to happen to the DSA. He was a great figure to coalesce around after 2016, but it should have ended there. If the DSA is to survive it must abandon electoral politics everywhere but local elections.
