I've got minimal experience with SRA, but I would say that if that's your only local option, then join up. Whatever issues they may or may not have as a national org, you're going to be meeting friendly people in your area that you can learn from and/or teach about firearms.
How many times can I tell you that you're missing the point. None of what you said matters! When Biden or Harris can barely even pretend to be against genocide, and continue to be responsible (via their current positions of power) for arming the Israelis, that is an acute emergency. The only reason that a potential dem voter is considering voting for Stein instead, is that, #1: she's on the ballot, and #2: she's against the genocide.
Any of your attacks or criticisms of her are irrelevant as long as those two things are true, or until Harris makes a drastic change to her policy.
You're missing the point. Nobody has to trust her word. She doesn't have to be right about everything, she just has to be correct on this particularly important issue. Nobody thinks Jill Stein is going to win. Nobody. So they don't have to imagine how she would implement her platform. It is irrelevant.
The problem for the democrats is that they are so WRONG on this one thing (genocide), that a certain subset of their potential voters can't bring themselves to vote dem. Some of those voters may be bluffing and some may not be. Dems will roll the dice and hope for the best, rather than come out against genocide (my prediction).
I'm not talking about "Liberalism", I'm talking about "liberals". They aren't driving me crazy because of some obscure philosophical tenets, though "scarcity harm reduction" might do it.
