    It feels like the correct amount of "working within the system to make real change" combined with not being beholden to bourgeoise parties. I saw her interview on Bad Faith but I wanna read more about her strategies & SA in general, are there any stories I should check out? Including left critiques?

      Well they're a Trotskyist party. Tbh, I think that is a reason why you don't hear much through DSA channels but the two work in coalition with each other too (like her recall campaign now). They're in an international with the CWI (committee for a worker's international). They do require more of their membership vs DSA in terms of activism and political education. They also use democratic centralism.
