The role of DSA is not to succeed, but to keep disenfranchised liberals rounded up in the party and back towards electoralism, which keeps the DNC and the entire oligarchy in power.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

This is why I left DSA. It was full of MLs and anarchists who hated demsocialism. Members of a demsocialist organization who hate demsocialism. Why? The only reason I could think of was sabotage. They didn't want DSA, or demosocialism as an ideology, to succeed. Well, I'd say mission accomplished. Demsocialism is pretty much dead. There are still people who call themselves demsocialists, but most of them are just New Deal social democrats (I know a lot of people think this is just semantic pedantry, but demsocialism and social democracy are distinct ideologies).
