was happy to have brought in 10 of those at least, and whatever its shortcomings might be I have hope we can actually put together a real leftist movement and establish some actual socialist political power over the next few years

    I know a bunch of you piss and shit yourself about how the DSA is bad, but it's actually good.

      Its interesting how stark a difference there is between people who actually organize irl vs terminally online leftists. theres lots of valid criticisms, but peoples understanding of dsa is so weirdly skewed tbh, and often conflating things to have it represent the entire org and everything it stands for. Either way, get involved, if not with dsa with another org, but you'll get more knowledgeable on these things. Its a LOT of work, and people are honestly very condescending towards tens of thousands of comrades volunteering their time to actually do the work necessary to build a mass socialist movement here.

        But it's not a socialist movement they are building, it's a capitalist reformist movement.
