Instead of seeking out stars, DSA members have focused on ultra-local campaigning. They joined sit-ins and protests against the Republican effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but they used them to advance arguments for single-payer health care similar to Canada's. In California, DSA members have phone-banked and knocked on doors to back a state single-payer bill that the legislature's Democratic supermajority has tabled; the campaign, however, is designed to continue even if the bill were to pass.
