    A lot of DSA locals are cool from what I’ve seen and read and I think the DSA serves an important function as an entry point in the leftist pipeline, especially whenever locals set up reading clubs to cover actual theory.

    The DSA has the Marxist Unitt Group so there is still a chance. And I think quite a few people in the DSA just got a hard lesson on harm reduction voting so maybe it will radicalize them a bit.

      Late reply but lol absolutely nobody in our local at least (and the major org in charge) thought Kamala was worth anything

      Routinely shocked what people believe tank and file members think of these things

    i wonder how many else did. it was only a fear in the back of my head until my ex-maga father called me after the debate to vent about how kamala as being so rude/disrespectful/aggressive/mean/etc. to trump and asked “why can’t she just be nice”. then seeing all the liberals on the lemmyverse champion her performance the next day with shallow critiques made me aware of the disconnected between harris supporters and reality.

    i still only gave it a 49% chance of it happening in my mind and i’m kicking myself for falling into the same trap i did with bernie in 2020 & 2016 and clinton in 1996.

      It wasn’t just me, I actually organized a plan response a month ago so we have over a dozen people plastering the town with material and attending whatever in person events happen
