DSA doesn't logout accounts (or flush sessions) at the moment. AuthAlreadyAssociated highlights the scenario where the current user is not associated to the current social account trying to be used. There are a couple solutions that might suite your project:

1. Define a sub-class of social_auth.middleware.SocialAuthExceptionMiddleware and override the default behavior (process_exception()) to redirect or setup the warning you like in the way you prefer.

2. Add a pipeline method (replacing social_auth.backend.pipeline.social.social_auth_user) that logouts the current user instead of raising an exception.
