As someone that went to their national convention last summer it’s such a performative, do nothing org in most cities. Can’t believe I wasted 3 years of my life with them.

You mean the group that got Mamdani elected? Is sending multiple members to the NY statehouse? Is also sending multiple members to Congress?

Same tbh. A majority of leaders of my local DSA spent all their time fighting to do nothing, and the few people who actually tried to go out and do things were constantly getting pushback from people in charge who refused to act on ANYTHING.

Massive part of why I left, trying to get anything real done was an uphill battle because everyone was too busy trying to purity test one another and wagging their fingers

I couldn’t even get them to work together long enough to work on a community garden where most of the supplies were already donated

Not true, definitely varies by community. Metro Detroit DSA has a congresswoman elected (Rashida Tlaib! love her), now multiple city councilors, a handful of state representatives, and a few other minor positions (took back control of a local library board from conservative). They also run specific issue based campaigns.

They did not get Rashida elected, you give yourselves way too much credit when it’s a group effort

DSA *is* part of that “group effort.” Rashida is actively engaged with DSA, she was at Metro Detroit’s last general meeting lol. I don’t understand the desire to minimize that.
