I want to vote for them, but I spent at least an hour looking of proof that they've done anything other than paint all their stuff red and couldn't. All I could find is people complaining that they tanked other local socialist chances in local California races (no idea how valid) and my friend in Oakland saying in the George Floyd protests they were out signing people up, but not looking to really help out in any way.
Like they post articles and books which is cool, but I see people online making it seem like you're a fool for not immediately voting for them. Have they changed people's breaklights, handed out food, or help tennants/workplaces organize? Cus if not they've done less than the libs at DSA.
Sorry for the long-winded rant. I just don't see what they've done other than have socialist in the name and get on the ballot so I'm genuinely curious.
My experience with the PSL has been good. The local chapter here is pretty aggressive when it comes to trying to get people to join, whihc turns a lot of people off of joining I feel, but they are a really great resource when it comes to "joining" the left. They do not do as much mutual aide as some other chapters, but they do enough. Some other chapters are full on Tankie Death Cults, so ymmv.
Ultimately I think the DSA currently has more momentum as an organization, but the PSL is doing some great work.
