I'm a DSA member.
why?
I'm tired of the Dem old guard. They aren't able to be effective at a grassroots level. I'm tired of the Blue Dog / Third Way of politics.
I'm not really a socialist - I think capitalism is a very effective way to improve quality of life.
but holy crap does it need to be reigned in and controlled.
I'm not a real "democrat". People en masse make terrible choices, particularly long term & with ads.
But the country gotta move leftward.
