DSA isn't compromised. It's just that as a "big tent" org with no vetting standards wrecker shit is going to happen.
We should want a space for angry libs to go and learn what the left is truly about. What we shouldn't do is allow them into spaces where they can do dumb shit without some form of vetting. But I will stand by the DSA being open to help people grow into comrades as a necessary part of the movement. It just needs to fill this role better.
That is literally what I meant by compromised.
The best argument you can make for the DSA not being compromised is that "compromised" implies having some baseline level of legitimacy that the DSA broadly lacks.
