I don't like spending this much time arguing against campism but they just keep talking at me.

The DSA cannot at all be compared to the groups I was talking about because they fail at one of the main requirements, to be an anti-imperialist movement, their candidates have like backed out from every meaningful thing. They are not really "democratic socialists" they are closer to social democrats.

    Not really? The official DSA platform includes dissolving the Senate. The movement itself is pretty anti-imperialist, even if individual candidates have to waffle a bit to get elected by the tribalistic dummies.

    Still though, a better class of lesser evil than the DNC in any case, that can't be denied. I haven't seen a significant level of "backing out", and certainly not from every meaningful thing. Until class consciousness attains a level to make more direct means practical, I'd rather shill for a lesser evil that sucks a bit less. DSA > DNC, even if both are a far cry from a proper International.
