out of curiosity how does a HOOS feel about DSA? (I am not a member or uh american so it really is just curiosity)

It's gone from a bookclub to a fighting organization. I think the way they're deliberately taking a variety of approaches, from serve the people programs to electoral ground game, is the best approach for an organization that wants to build its membership. Add to that that they're enabling great campaigns, and connecting everyday people with socialism as they change their brake lights, and I think they're doing powerful work.
You might say there's still the matter of settling on what socialism is, but that's part of the ride when you're building a big tent.
I'm a member & am relatively active with my local chapter--I lead an anti-eviction canvassing team as part of a larger campaign an old Occupy friend conceived.
Also their national staff rent space in my org's office & the outgoing Deputy Director is a good friend. He humors me by chatting about the week's Online DSA Gossip. Last week Amber was defending a woman who'd said she wanted to punch a member of the NPC in the face ("he's so condescending," she said). [The guy she was threatening happens to be a friend. So I stay a little salty at her I guess.]

Oh over the summer I helped organize a bunch of decentralized sit-ins--DSA was part of the coalition, which meant really meant DSA chapters. I was super impressed at how their chapters were able to turn out committed people for civil disobedience. The Cincy chapter are rad fuckin people--they did an overnight sit-in with a couple of folks in wheelchairs.

that matches my outside perception of the good things they've been up to. I'd kill for Canada to have a big-tent org like that tbh

the flow of conversation in this podcast feels very unnatural to me. @midnight was a terrible show that was obviously written, and this was highlighted by the question and answer format. comments in this show feel written in spite of them talking over each other. very happy to learn about gamecube dungeon, however.

Sometimes they reuse their own jokes from twitter, which might account for some of the written feeling.
