Let's look at what these DSA candidates stand for. They actually say they want to abolish the Senate. They want to abolish the carceral state. That means basically police forces and prisons. They want to abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all. They do not support any deportations whatsoever.
Abolish the Senate. Abolish the carceral state β basically police forces and prisons. Abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all. They do not support any deportations whatsoever.
They want to replace the president and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary that is chosen by and subordinate to Congress. So, this would be a total makeover of our constitutional system. They want public ownership of major corporations. They want to defund the Department of War.

This is a very radical organization. And you would laugh at a lot of these types of proposals, but you can't really laugh at it anymore because these guys are taking over the Democratic Party. They do not actually see the traditional establishment wing of the Democratic Party as an ally. They see it as an obstacle.

The DSA co-chair said, "We're using the Democratic Party as a ballot access vehicle."
>> Oh my god.
>> "Not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it's useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home."

So, the DSA is coming for the Democratic Party. It controls the base now. It's where all the energy is. I think this takeover will continue.
