Praxis is when you test the tenets of Marxism through acts of social struggle and then refine your theory based on the outcome.
An organization that isn't undergirded by a Marxist framework and isn't informing it's strategies off of past Marxist parties successes and failures isn't engaging in praxis.
It doesn't mean they can't do good things or that we can't occasionally learn something from them, but it's an important distinction between what a Marxist party does and a party that tolerates eclectic theories like the DSA does. A bunch of people operating with different ideologies and methodologies "getting shit done" might win some short term gains, but it won't ever bring about a rupture from capitalism.
