DSA, as imperfect and org as it is, did see a large influx of new membership during the Mamdani campaign and following his primary victory. Which is better than nothing, since most active DSA cadre are marxists
Sure but new members joining and continuing to keep DSA majority white, college graduates which little to no average workers feel comfortable being around further entrenches the demographic trends within the organization. Then they join and what political education do they get? If they join the chapter near me they will be around Zionists and white supremacists who think Indigenous people are all dead and prefer to read Emma Goldman and think Stalin was worse than Hitler
