It's not just DSA, and there are some decent, thoughtful people still there even after the others flooded in during the 2016 election period. But the others! If you're not 110% with those people, whether LW authoritarians, populists, or ideological extremists, you're the enemy.
(Remember the vicious swiftboating they did on Hillary? Their attacks on John Lewis and other AA just because they endorsed the other candidate, on pro abortion and labor groups just because they endorsed the other candidate? The Bernie Bros and swarming of victims on social media? The "Lock her up!," near riots at state conventions, and attempted election thefts? The constant use of outside big money to try to influence and subvert local elections? On and on.)
Where they are, and can't win because they're always too few (NOT 99%!), the shit flies. As here. SOP.
