I'm a DSA member currently, but I don't think I really want to spend my time and energy trying to push the DSA left. I'm already part of a giant, terrible union that is controlled by liberal ghouls with a deathgrip on power. The biggest problem I have is that it's an organization, not a party. It has no ideology (by design). The politicians they endorse and elect aren't accountable to the organization or its membership. There are good caucuses and good chapters, but I've just been feeling like I want an org with some discipline and ideological consistency.
