Vote! Encourage those around you to vote. Help drive someone to the polls. If you know a young person who's never voted, get them to vote.
Don't care who they vote for, just get them to the ballot box.
The more people vote, the better things turn out for the majority.
Without a socialist party (as in, completely purged and free of all bourgeois influence), there's isn't a whole lot worth voting for at the federal level. Democrats repeatedly show that they are incapable of resisting the Republicans and take L's constantly (see here).
I encourage everyone to instead organize with local political orgs that can eventually build this power. The DSA being the largest currently available (and just as flawed as the other options one may have, ofc)
I agree with your assesment of the DSA, but our audience here isn't ready for that. I want them to get into the DSA where we can continue trashing on them until they do something more useful.
They aren't going to go from defending Democratic Party failures to Maoist Third-Worldist guerilla fighters (the correct sect of socialists, of course) overnight.
