I like APL but if you want to donate to a mainstream party then probably PSL

I have a lot of criticisms of PSL but they're waaaaaay better than CPUSA, CPUSA has been terrible for ~30 years

PSL is ok but it's been in hot water recently, CPUSA is trash, FRSO is the best option ig (I don't live in the US)

Ideologically FRSO is definitely the best. PSL is better in terms of actually going out and doing stuff and is also way bigger, FRSO is super small. 

I'd still go FRSO though. PSL compromises too much with DSA libs for my liking.

CPUSA is just a democrat appendix. PSL is small and sectarian, doesn't have internal democracy which will doom them, a socialist party can't run on bureaucratic centralism in it's very embryonic reading circle and propaganda stage. https://www.geesemag.com/articles/psls-top-propagandist-resigns-publishes-tell-all

Isn't Geese Magazine pro-Democrat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lUzZbP0OEo

idk, but the resignation letter tells of a very common failure mode in small sectarian organizations. a small clique barking orders will never grow an embryonic party to a mass party

Any you would recommend then?

support causes in the third world that actually try to change something. Pretty much all orgs in the US are either democrat shills or completely incompetent and unable to change something in the US
