Personally I like the republican party.
The guy who runs it is an idiot but a genius at the same time.
I'd ask SE members only about their active experience within parties. Otherwise you might simply be getting some people's innate prejudices against parties they've never really dealt with.
Besides that you should also investigate which party has most regional activity in your area. What kind of activity it is, and if you could see yourself participating in those activities.
You have it so backwards and wrong it's hilarious, sorry but you're a big M-L and this is your opinion.
What's a 'leftist sect' and what about the PSL qualifies them as one, and how would the CPUSA not qualify for that term more than the PSL? I hope you're not thinking it's the PSL that's useless and the CPUSA is that party of marxist-leninists we should be supporting.
I think this what WCM was talking about when he said:

The problem is I will never deal with the PSL because my Party has no relation with them. Even if I could, I wouldn't, because I am a "communist", marxist-leninist, not a simple "socialist".
sorry but you're a big M-L
What is a "big M-L" ? Is that bad ?

Because CPUSA is not a split of a trotskyist split.
It almost sounds like you prefer the CPUSA because they have 'communist' in their name and the PSL only has 'socialist'.
No, I'm saying you're a firm marxist-leninist yet you're supporting the CPUSA over the PSL. That's ridiculous.
Neither is the PSL. You seriously think the PSL is a trotskyist split off the WWP?
No he's saying that the PSL split off of the WWP which split off of the Trotskyist SWP.
I don't really understand what he was saying their and I don't think this is what he's saying either, as neither the PSL or the WWP are trotskyist parties nor do their splits have to do with any loyalty to trotsky.
I'm an active member of the Communist Party USA and voted for them/us.
How is it ridiculous for a Marxist-Leninist to support a Marxist-Leninist party?
In OP-B's world any party or person that doesn't foam at the mouth at the very mention of Trotsky's name is somehow ultraleftist or anti-communist.
It isn't because the CPUSA isn't even M-L.
If nominal criticism is the extent of your polemic, then I'm sorely disappointed. Seriously, the "CPUSA isn't M-L, I'M M-L!!" garbage never had substance and is worn out. I don't even recall when S-E ever agreed to a precise definition of Marxism-Leninism. Furthermore it smacks of arrogance to turn up your nose and basically accuse an active worker's party of abandoning our theoretical methodology simply because you don't agree with the conclusions reached. It also flies in the face of good faith between comrades that we at least accept each others word that we are, in fact, communists. But, if you feel like factionalism will benefit the working people of the US, go right on ahead.
He's rabid when it comes to this issue. I think he just stepped out of a time machine from the 1930s actually.

He seriously thinks this way.
