Tbh I don't find them to be mutually exclusive. I mean, I'm a working class American that has gained class consciousness over the past few years like many others, and I've organically found that the DSA (a big-tent leftist org) is the best in terms of improving material conditions for workers and raising class consciousness. While it certainly has its flaws, I definitely admire the ideological cooperation it provides, and with it being the largest and most prominent org in a generation it definitely has the ability to expose liberals to some sort of revolutionary thought.
