The function of DSA is to capture and dissipate the revolutionary moment, ultimately to maintain the imperial and zionist status quo. The fact that Mamdani hasn’t followed through on any of his supposed “anti-zionism” should be wake up call that there is no salvation to be found in democratic party entryism.

Trump got elected again because Dems couldn’t stop alienating demographic groups that have traditionally been strongly democratic in voting patterns. Did you really think it was smart to appeal to neo-cons and alienate centre-left voters?

Being a member of some or other group doesn’t automatically make you right. This is no different to a Republican substituting a coherent political or philosophical argument with “As a straight white Christian male, I have this opinion and you can’t question it”.

Revolution is the overthrow of one class by another. What occurred in France, Russia, and a number of anti-colonial national liberation struggles throughout the global south for instance. The OP is of course being facetious (can’t blame them, Americans are frustrating in their servitude and passivity despite what’s unfolding), revolution doesn’t occur unless the material conditions are conducive to mass disobedience on that scale. The problem is that liberals are trying to funnel the disillusionment and contain it in hopes of dissipating the revolutionary moment in order to get back to their usual business of putting a human face on America’s domination and hostility in South America, Asia, and Africa as the “Good Cop” to the Republican’s “Bad Cop”.

DSA was founded by a Zionist and imperialist. It’s a glorified democratic party caucus with no potential beyond being a means to funnel momentum back into dead-end entryist candidates. Rinse and repeat for 50 years, and fall for it for the millionth time.
