Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I agree completely. The majority of DSA committees are held by caucused membership, which are almost exclusively hard left when compared to the uncaucused DSA rank and file. It sets DSA’s course to left for sure, as these caucuses are largely responsible for the political agenda DSA engages in.
The biggest internal debate within DSA is about electoralism, and I don’t see it being large enough to fracture the org because it is so decentralized. As the org grows, I do see it gaining the ability to wield party-like level control of politics in some strongholds. Popular Front style DSA-PSL campaigns where groundwork could go a loooooooong way in places like NYC where a ground game can essentially unseat any incumbent politician. This in combination with the Working Families Party, there is essentially a party apparatus waiting to be used behind the “Smash Glass In Case Of Working Class Politics” sign.
We actually came quite close to using this in NYC this mayoral election cycle should Zohran have lost the primary. We were strongly considering throwing our weight behind running him on the Working Families Party ticket in the 4 way general election. Turns out he was too popular for that to be necessary lol
