I think at least part of DSA leadership isn’t bad. They unendorsed AOC for her positions on Palestine which I honestly wasn’t expecting.
I kinda expected airing my grievances with the DSA and the CPUSA might open up an arena for infighting but I genuinely don't want this to happen.
There's plenty to be discussed about the DSA leadership but I think I'd only really do this face to face with people because the internet really doesn't need yet-another unproductive slapfight.
At the end of the day there's a lot of comrades and even just progressive libs in the DSA who are putting a lot of energy into fighting for a better world. I might not always agree with their strategies or the DSA leadership but this is where critical support isn't some trope for me but it's a very real thing; I largely support the DSA's efforts, I have criticisms of the DSA (especially the leadership) but I would rather direct my energy against capitalism/imperialism/colonialism/the bourgeoisie and the DotB than putting it into attacking the DSA. Especially in a space like this one.
