Well, look at what happens even in liberal hotbeds like NYC and San Fransisco. Democrats are so obsessed with appeasing wealthy reactionaries that they’ll do obnoxiously anti-popular moves like Hochul delaying congestion pricing (what a turn of face that’s been) and Dianne Feinstein raising a Confederate Flag above the mayor’s office.
How else do you get a crook like Eric Adams or Henry Cuellar or Bob Menendez in these positions of entrenched power without the party endlessly running cover for them. Fucking sickening.
But real leadership still exists. I’ve got a great local DSA chapter here in Houston. There are a number of activist groups - Food Not Bombs leaps to mind - that do an incredible job of bringing popular politics to bare against entrenched capital interests. They just don’t get a million-dollar kickback from the Heritage Society to produce mediocre rap videos with Tom MacDonald or put up a Whites Only orgy tent at Burning Man.

No real leaders to rally about, anywhere, that I know about. Just a slow decline into increased corruption
