I certainly would join DSA, and have been involved in some efforts to launch such an org in my country. Seems that the marxist factions inside DSA have way more vitality and potential than the old national communist parties. Potential for productive splits that give birth to revolutionary mass parties from DSA => leading to a meaningful vanguard seems higher than CPUSA becoming a vanguard worthy of the name. The Bolsheviks were born of a party split amirite?

Agreed. I suggest the free tier of chatGPT voice mode as a rubber ducky - prompted something like, “ask me software dev interview behavioural questions”. I didn’t even really bother with getting input on my answers from the LLM, you can reflect on your own how you sounded. It was just good practice being asked a random unexpected question and coming up with a good response.
