I've been feeling a little antsy lately; both socially and just feeling like I need to do more. I live in a pretty major city but I also feel like people have been leaving DSA in droves and a lot of the work they do seems to be just canvassing for local candidates. Interested to just hear the thoughts of others who are still active in their local orgs to see if I'd be wasting my time joining.

    you should be in some org, even if it isn't the DSA. IWW, PSL, some local anarchist group, etc. Make your own splinter org! join a union!

    it's a great way to meet local comrades, and "organizing" is most of the point of being a communist. it's a shame DSA does so much electoralism though.

      I joined my local DSA and it was a fiasco of overeducated rich libs with zero organizing chops and tons of infighting.

        "if it sucks....hit da bricks"

        if you don't like the DSA, leave and join a different org.

        your experience with the DSA isn't unique, btw.
