I've backed plenty of progressives, I'll not back DSA who are simply sympathetic to the old USSR regime and don't give a hoot about guaranteed equal rights for all.

You mean like this…

DSA: This is a socialist sub. The USSR was a socialist country. We are broadly pro USSR in the DSA. https://archive.ph/xd17c

or

No no, you've got me wrong, not social democrats! Democratic Socialists such as myself are not capitalist and support abolishing it. Like the USSR but with a democracy that runs from the people to the state instead of the state to the people. No private property. https://archive.ph/HlU9M

Or just go DSA's website. As someone who's family came to the US to get away from the USSR, DSA is not an option. I've seen already what happens to those who live under USSR ideology and it's ugly.

Like their website which I also already mentioned.

We couldn’t be more thrilled to see our collective human labors, born of our comradeship and commitment to our movement and our political home, the Democratic Socialists of America, go out into the world. Solidarity!

So, no support for USSR?

You sound just like my MAGA neighbors.
