I've been feeling a little antsy lately; both socially and just feeling like I need to do more. I live in a pretty major city but I also feel like people have been leaving DSA in droves and a lot of the work they do seems to be just canvassing for local candidates. Interested to just hear the thoughts of others who are still active in their local orgs to see if I'd be wasting my time joining.

If you aren't part of an org DSA is a good starter org. You aren't gonna get into any of the cooler orgs if people have no idea who the fuck you are. I mean yeah the DSA itself sucks shit and is full of nerds who can't put the "social" in socialist to save their lives but definitely join if you have nothing else going on. Good orgs don't just fall into your lap if you aren't plugged in at all.
