The Democratic Socialists of America just hit 100K members.
David Duhalde explains why it functions like a “movement party” rather than just an electoral brand.
Meaning cadre organizing + campaigns + disruptive pressure that can actually win policy.

Just saw a guy park by the basketball court by my building, get out with a ball, try to dribble it but it wouldnt bounce bc of the layer of snow and ice, then try to run up to shoot a 2 pointer only he slid and fell on his butt. Then he went back to his car and drove away

I vote for my leadership. Who gets to vote for the DNC's leadership?
What you just wrote is a set of signifiers wholly without meaning. Where your understanding should be are a series of irritable memetic gestures that you use to signal your affiliation with people as willfully ignorant as yourself.
So to be clear, a situation where im an equal member to everyone else, where I can elect people to convention, who elect our leadership, thats tammany hall. Those leaders are unaccountable. The DNC, which is a network largely run by money, thats good?

Do people not realize it is illegal for parties to do this in the United States because we decided around the turn of the last century that we didn't want unaccountable party bosses to decide who we could vote for
People pay because they want their ideology to win

Opposition to dues is one of those things that seems to make sense if you dont think about organization too much. But the reality is if your members dont fund the organization, they dont control the organization.

A century ago, a socialist magazine published a manifesto calling for workers to pick up the pen, heralding the dawn of America’s proletarian literary movement.

People are knocking the number but dont realize that this is tens of thousands of organizers. In most cities DSA is one of the largest democratic membership organizations. Ive seen people go from recluses to leaders and new tendencies bloom all inside of DSAs spaces.
