My school actually has a club of socialists but I swear they are the least productive group of activists I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s because everything is online and we can’t meet up, but I keep suggesting we do zoom meetings or have movie nights on their Discord and nobody even bothers to react. I joined the club my freshman year because I was super excited that there was a group of leftists, but their Instagram was barren, and over the course of a year at this school, I’ve received a total of ONE email. Ive only met one person from the group, and attended a local protest, but that’s it. Maybe it’s demotivation that Bernie lost, but I barely got any info from them to begin with. Sucks, since I was so excited to join what i thought was a DSA

    This is sad to hear, but I'm glad to hear you're trying to light a fire under them which isn't an easy task! Try to find other club members who think like you and coordinate your efforts to get more activity going. I think multiple people asking for a meeting or events to be held would be much more effective than doing it alone. It's a shame to see young socialists who should be studying and practicing their organising skills be idle, but it's a situation worth trying to change.
