Yeah, I agree that was complete bullshit. Not even NY DSA is nearly as bold as they should be.

But I'm also not going to dismiss the over 200 candidates currently serving because of the ground work the DSA chapters have done.

And unlike in the DNC, those issues can actually be brought up and forced to be addressed by the serving body in those chapters.

I don't know if you've visited your local DSA chapter, if you live in the states, but for better or for worse it's all grassroots volunteers.

I don't personally care which organization someone gets involved in, whether DSA or PSL or a different one. It's getting involved with the community that matters. My experience is with west coast DSA chapters, which are still new to electoral politics, and even such only at the city level.
