apparently theres 8 different factions of the DSA
from OSINT telegram:
"DSA is not simply a group of “democratic socialists.”
It operates as an umbrella for electoral socialists, ecosocialists, Marxists, Marxist-Leninists, Trotskyists, anarchist, abolitionists and revolutionary anti-imperialists.
These factions disagree over tactics, but they remain under one organization because they share the same goal: build political power, recruit younger voters and get their own members elected.
Their strategy relies heavily on social media, college campuses and youth organizing because they understand that long-term political influence begins by shaping voters early.
The caucuses fight over reform versus revolution, centralized discipline versus bottom-up organizing and whether to remain inside the Democratic Party or eventually break from it.
But many of them do not align with mainstream Democrats at all.
They use the Democratic ballot line because it provides ballot access, campaign infrastructure, media attention and the fastest route into office.
The plan is to win primaries in deep-blue districts, build a socialist bloc inside government, pressure elected members to follow DSA priorities and steadily move the party further left."
