DSA could never tea party the democrats so I don't expect them to be trying

My areas chapter still argues about this. It is not a resolved question in the DSA at all. I still see people saying we need democrat coalitions.

It's currently the central struggle I've seen when looking at discussions in the national board.

Hell, I see some arguing Marxist-Leninist is a failed experiment that is either less useful or equally as ineffective as social democracy.

I saw someone post on the DSA national forum that the failures of DSA's left is that they don't recognize this is a Social Democracy movement today, that basically saw responses split down the middle.

I've seen people say this campaign working is proof that entryism works and can be used for the socialist movement.

Over the last year, The Agitator has published numerous pieces arguing for recommitting to the strategy of Bernie’s 2016 campaign to remain within the struggle on the Democratic party ballot line, which is a tactic of democratic socialists dating back to the 60s in fighting within the Democratic party. That felt more relevant during the Biden era, when parts of DSA felt like running away from the Democratic Party was the best option to pledge a new way forward. Yet, the primary victory of Mamdani puts us back in the same place of fighting it out against liberals and everyone to their right. The victory forced national media to suddenly grapple again with the idea of socialism within the Democratic Party

This is the caucus with the largest sway in NYC DSA, and a major playing in shaping its ideological tendency at a national level. Attempting to tea party the democrats is very much on the table.

Some of the "mind reading" is just people trying not to dox themselves.
