There’s no practical utility in fighting against democratic socialists. They’re not a problem that needs solved. It’s a label used to organize people who are looking for an easy every point to leftist organizing. Most DSA “socialists” I know are actually radical dual power ML Communists already.
Complaining that DSA socialism is ineffective is like complaining that the first rung of a ladder is too close to the ground.
Just focus on building up the stuff you like better. Instead of explaining why voting is insufficient, point people towards what is.
Respectfully: I think this take is dumb.
