DSA is hot shit in most of the country, especially in the big cities. the politics runs liberal but even more than that, the org is captured by the worst sort of people, more obsessed with their personal power in the org than with what they might accomplish. I spent about two years trying to make the org less useless but the last convention convinced me it wasn't a worthwhile use of time. but that and my time in a chapter's leadership means I have a lot of stories about the org. AMA, I guess.
