I've been feeling a little antsy lately; both socially and just feeling like I need to do more. I live in a pretty major city but I also feel like people have been leaving DSA in droves and a lot of the work they do seems to be just canvassing for local candidates. Interested to just hear the thoughts of others who are still active in their local orgs to see if I'd be wasting my time joining.

There are some marxist-leninists who argue for joining

So yes, join- either your local is good and you can hop on the bandwagon or you get experience making near-miss-left into left.

This is assuming you aren't in LA or NYC
