I think some people are being a bit unfair - they're good people with (95%) good politics, just with poor organization and tactics. Even their national contact was enthusiastic about cooperation with the PSL and even participation in the campaign. And best of all, at least the people local to me are open and willing to learn more effective methods of organizing. It takes time and confidence to build organizing skills.
They're cringe, not evil or fundamentally flawed. Be nice, be tolerant, and be willing to help and teach. They are not doomed - they just need direction.

Sure, you can be nice to them. Doesn't mean join them though.
I'm just going based off what you said.
