Joined my local DSA a month plus ago. I wanted to find leftists near me and don't live in a very urban place. So far everyone has been cool, we do mutual aid work, have started power mapping to start exerting influence, have had a couple of good educational sessions where we learn about who needs help and what needs to be done in our area, got 2 members into local gov seats, created fliers and distributed them about the cdc eviction info, and have just generally been hanging on discord. Its a major improvement over doom scrolling and making a material difference is good praxis.

Edit for your spoilers

When we meet on webcam it has been totally cool just to have people on voice. There are plenty of socially awkward people but everyone is cool about it. A broke college student can do a lot, people give each other rides to different things but even beyond that, having more comrades in the group is good for morale, you help just by existing. If you want to work on things, there's always plenty to do that doesn't require having to be really comfortable with people.
