There's a lot of value being in those local Dem spaces. I'm not talking national but the local county and state parties. They're not all ghouls and a lot of those Democrats are a nudge away from gaining class consciousness. A lot of good organizing ends up in that party because a lot of people do not know alternatives are even possible.

We all all shold learn to get more comfortable being uncomfortable. Agitate at these Dem events.. Those spaces are where we meet the workers now, now the ideal form of them that hasn't materialized in several decades of non-electoral organizing.

Local dem spaces where I am are doing fundraisers for zionists and calling the cops on protesters

Sounds like a great reason to grab some comrades and disrupt that shit. I bet there are people even in that room that agree with you and just need "permission" to speak out

The people “speaking out” are the protesters who are being arrested and screamed at by the democrats

That really depends on the space. Not all local Dem parties are like that. From where I sit non-electoral organizing also hasn't brought qny change in the last few decades so IDK if either of us are right or wrong. It's more likely you pick the lane that gives you the best shot in the place you live rather than discard any one way to make progress
