They seem to be the only leftist org in my area that actually does much of anything, but they’ve come under fire for weird vague allegations, so idk.

I have never been a member of PSL, and I don't know a ton about them. But I think something that's universal for political orgs is it depends on your local chapter. Is it big enough to have well attended events and get stuff done without burnout? Can it avoid drama? Are the members people who you vibe with and can work with effectively? All of this matters way more than their national leadership or specific ideology imo.

I don't think there's any way to figure out how out except asking people in your community or going to a few meetings.
