DSA has a hundred thousand members which is about 0.0333% of the US population.
Membership was only ~6,000 members in 2015 compared ~100,000 now. Almost all of that gained in recently direct response to Donald Trump. But you can dismiss a massive and sudden grassroots change if you want. That’s what the DNC has done for the last 30+ years to instead just do whatever their donors want, and dangle various social issues as their sole differentiator, unless those conflict with corporate donors.

the democrat party is made of many subgroups that people affiliate with officially and unofficially. that ~100k is definitely underrepresented. of any accepted group, the DSA represents my interests the best. I ain’t never seen any enrollment paperwork for it.
