I’m a member of a politically based affinity group that is going through a lot of dysfunction; it all boils down to an insular, cult-mentality kind of vibe.However, we’re supposed to be a political education group, so this attitude really bogs us down, especially when we’re also dealing with weekly events, a high-maintenance guest speaker , conflicts over branding in our newsletter, activist burnout, and more.
