Context: DSA voted against endorsing progressives Chi Osse and others. But caved to centrist Liberal AOC this year, changing their stance from previous years for no apparent reason.

Completely my opinion: their member base is 50% more progressive than your average Democrat, and the organization is 25% more progressive on paper but effectively 5% more progressive in reality.
Each percentage is what felt best when I typed it based on being a disillusioned former DSAer. I left because they were too conservative for me.
Comparing progressiveness to Democrats is a bar so low that it’s a tripping hazard in hell.
