    Counterpoint: you can manipulate them to do stuff for you. Also I there's value in pipelining cool ones into commie orgs, basically the opposite of entryism.

      Yeah, there's really no better pipeline left than a fairly large organization that has actual people in power who at least stake out positions to the left of Democrats.

      Leftists are upset with the DSA because they aren't a revolutionary vanguard party, but they don't need to be that to be useful.

        DSA is extremely lib and does embarrassing things, so I'm sympathetic to dunking on it (I love to do it too lol) and pointing out its risks and failures.

        I just think it still has utility for commies if approached strategically. Set your sights realistically and you can be (a little) less frustrated when your local DSA chapter goes slava ukraini or something.
