seriously. it's not that big a deal. if people in gaza are still standing up to their oppressors every day then you likely have zero excuse for not doing more IRL shit (political reading and writing at home are good, but don't mean anything if you're not applying that theory as practice and then assessing the results and adjusting your practice accordingly).

DSA: Libs who don't really get anything done except tell you to vote for AOC (and they can't even control their elected candidates) and Biden

WFP: Completely fucked up by supporting Warren in 2020

Local Democrats: Might as well CW yourself

CPUSA: Fed central

There are a few decent DSA chapters and some good people in the org but as a whole it sucks. I learned a lot from my time in it and met some interesting people so I would say if you're trying to learn it's your best option on that list but understand that they are far from revolutionary, totally undisciplined, and questionably principled at best.

DSA captured org that's sucked a massive shit ton of leftist potential and threw it away on the Does Not Care vote party. Whose elected members are absolute betrayals of the ideals they set up to do. They did not bring the ruckus to the DNC they are collaborators with the prison wardens.

WFP - also vote vote collaborators. Not very independent. Bunch of warren-snake-green

Local Democrats - worst maybe-later-honey pieces of shit on the planet who have no trouble calling the cop if you call them out on their corruption and fascism. Local parties have the least amount of transparency in the country and they like to keep their gentrifying grift that way. Who do you think manipulted the meow-bernie primary votes to change for hillgasm?

CPUSA - captured vote DaBiden collaborators.
