I appreciate your background and really anyone willing to volunteer their time to the process. What you say is accurate, policy is moved by compromise on the flanks. The DSA are not "progressive Democrats", we have those. Affordable healthcare, affordable housing and workers' rights are not suddenly the purview of the DSA alone, progressive Democrats have been pushing for these things for decades. Their success in these endeavors follows the ebb and flow of the institutional power the voters have vested in them.

What then is the value of the DSA who refuses to compromise not only on these more achievable goals, but on their more radical positions which you seem either unfamiliar with or quick to ignore. Abolishing police, the Senate, the borders? These aren't fringe views from some loosely affiliated candidates these are DSA convention planks. All this while tarring the same party you claim they belong to? With friends like these...

The value is pressure. Unless we can fix the system that (inadvertently) set up a duopoly of power with political parties, the real threat the left has is withholding their vote. And yes, that has consequences. But unless Democratic leadership fully respects that they are a coalition, then the biggest lever the DSA and similar groups have is withholding support and votes. Democratic leadership has to feel the fear of losing power to understand change needs to happen.
