Ok cool. But I mean strategically. It's nice to say these things and I agree but how?
Because ostensibly DSA is the largest socialist org in the country doing exactly what you are describing...do you think shitting on DSA serves your interests broadly or hurts them?
Posts like this basically being like "this isn't the REAL left" without any substantive critique AND counter proposal are silly to me. And like I'm part of the DSA and criticize them plenty and will continue to do so but from where I'm sitting they are our best bet as a vehicle for socialist development - warts and all.

You criticism is valid and I misunderstood your intent. There is merit to supporting the DSA and working within it but I strongly believe that this should be prefaced with the understanding that the DSA is primarily an opportunist party. They are not a strong opposition to the fascist current in america and as such our goals when we work with them should be to push its members further left into more principled organisations. Shitting on the DSA should be elaborated upon when addressing a general audience. Unfortunately I often live under the assumption that other people think like me and have the same base of information as me.
