Are the parties so diverse that they are no longer one party?

24. I didn't know that. DSA actually endorses reasonable candidates around here:

Greg Casar
Three city council members


However, there are other socialists groups that all Democrats should stay clear of: Party for Socialism and Liberation. It's literally the communist party and they want to destroy the Democratic Party. There could be overlap with DSA. I know DSA is non-partisan.

I really don't understand the socialists obsession with I/P. There is all sorts of injustices and other ongoing genocides in the world. I hate to see that this is the hill that many of chose to die on. Is there a possibility that we can reduce arms to Israel without tearing the Democratic Party apart. Funding for Israel is I believe for 10 years and cannot be repealed. (It's a wierd set up) Presidents do have discretionary rights to temporarily increase funding. (Which Biden did)

However, DSA does not address the complexities of the ME.

What would happen if we stopped all arms funding to Israel?

Fortunately, DSA does not address Russia/Ukraine.


Party for Socialism and Liberation, which is everywhere these days and they support Russia. It is also a communist party, not a socialist party, yet they have infiltrated local Democratic Parties and try to recruit Democratic voters via protests and workshops. When they aren't running candidates they have workshops and they currently are very active in anti-ICE activities, which appeals to many Democrats. (They carry "loud signs" on wooden stakes)

Their leader Neville Roy Singham lives in China. They also supported Bashar al-Assad when he was in power. They also support the Islamic Republic. IOW, they sorta have an axis they support.

Singham lives in Shanghai, China.[13][6] He is married to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, who has become pro-China after marrying Singham in 2017.[18] Singham has also become a major donor to Code Pink, with organizations from his network providing around a quarter of the budget.[18
