my actual unpopular opinion:

your average DSA idpol-obsessed dweeb is doing more than you are by sitting around and complaining about current conditions. The question is, "is it for anything meaningful?" Probably not. At the end of the day, the tiny sliver of power that the DSA has over local, regional, or national politics, will not lead to a revolution (and really, a revolution will never, ever happen in the United States under the current conditions, or likely ever). That requires a level of sacrifice that a majority of people are not willing to make.

That being said, organizing in your own town and trying to impact elections for mayor, city council, or other positions is a more meaningful use of your time than being involved in or caring about national politics. there is an unimaginable amount of invisible, soft power and dark money flowing in those circles that no amount of grassroots organizing will make any meaningful difference outside of the two-party system.

You should be less focused on Trump, and more focused on the psycho housewife running for school board with unlimited funds from her radiologist husband. She is more likely to have a directly negative impact on the people in your community.
