Also, how fucking funny is it that he was on their advisory council lol.

The dude literally has zero accomplishments except getting to 300k Twitter followers by stanning Elizabeth Warren and doing lib shit -- this somehow means he gets to be an advisor to a "leftist" party lmao.

For those unaware of what's going on, the People's Party recently decided to drop "socialism" from their platform and focus on "progressive populism" that will unite the left and the right hahahaha.

      i mean he thinks the DSA is worthless and "skipped" over it. His argument being that it's unworkable since it still works within the dem party, which is a fair critique, but there isn't any other org with their reach and structure currently like the DSA. Part of me feels like he wants to be the face or a co-chair of whatever org he latches onto next. It is good he is transforming but he comes off as more of an opportunist than anything to me. His ego is fairly massive if you actually follow his posts and what he says. Most of us here have our own critiques of gripes with the DSA but every local chapter can be different in good or bad ways, writing it off entirely isn't smart or practical to me.

        The DSA electing people as democrats isn't a problem at all. Political parties in the US are much more comparable to coalition governments that you see in other countries anyways (otherwise we wouldn't even have localized primaries happening to begin with).

        The DSA is worthless. Entryism into the Democratic party is worthless, and that's what the DSA is all about. If you say we should change that you are basically trying to do entryism into an entryist organization to make it not entryist. It's all worthless.

        They are party agnostic, so I'm not really sure the critique is fair. DSA members usually run as Dems because that's the easiest way to win, but they have no official ties to the Dems and they've backed candidates from other parties before. That being said, electoralism is really only a small part of what the DSA really does.
