Eh..... The PSL is less of a political party and more of a political "think tank" funded by Neville Singham. The entire party is basically just the host of BreakThrough News.

Which I don't really mind the left having a think tank funded by a billionaire, I just wish they did more than self promote such a small pool of people and didn't represent themselves as an actual political party.

Despite claiming that they have representation in over 50 cities, they lack any kind of physical fingerprint outside of NYC. And despite being based out of NYC but have been completely silent on the mayoral race.

Local branches get up to a lot more than what happens at the national level, plus a lot of the work is done behind the scenes. There's more than just NYC, the local chapters do good work.

I'm guessing there's a bit of a difference between chapters? The closest one to me doesn't seem to do much but sporadically organize protests.

There's also been a lot of accusations of coverups of sexual assault and anti trans biase over the years. I mean at least bad enough to have its own section in the prolewiki.

There's decent variance. The ones I have experience with have all been pro-trans, with queer membership. Allegations do exist, but it doesn't appear to be beyond a local level. Talk to your local directly.

With all that money against leftists, leftists couldn't race head to head with the right wing in the USA. So I don't think they are against you either.

Leftists are not racing head to head with the right wing in the US Empire. The DNC and GOP are both right-wing, leftism is largely found in smaller parties like PSL.
