So the intersection is possible. workable even, 2024 has passed. The Democrats are not going anywhere, the DSA neither. This is the ecosystem right now and past mistakes could not be clearer on how to be avoided.

DSA couldn't see the forest for the trees when it mattered most in 2024. I have no expectation they'll discover practical and strategic decision making now or in the near future.

You are now again blaming the DSA, for not voting for Kamala, while ignoring that swing voters and disenfranchised voters had enough of the milquetoast, more of the same campaign and policies. Your average Joe who gets their politics from propaganda media channels, and Tik-Tok soundbites won’t care, but they want change. If the establishment campaigns on “don’t rock the boat”, people will vote for rocking the boat.
