Democrats who embrace rotten DSA policies festering in their party are paving the way for a nation that would make our founders weep.
New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh have more in common than campaigns to run major cities in the United States. Both are under 40 and elected members of their state houses. Zohran, 33, is a member of the New York State Assembly; Fateh, 35, is a Minnesota senator. Both are charismatic, Muslim, and are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), running on the Democrat ticket with radical, socialist ideas.
DSA is not a political party, but it is acting like one. It is a parasite taking over the Democrat party, which means it is becoming harder for traditional Democrat candidates to rise within the party. Every Democrat candidate should be scrutinized for policy ties to DSA, even if they don’t advertise the connection.
As the traditional, old Democrat Party is cannibalized by DSA members, voters should understand that the DSA aims to fundamentally change the United States. The DSA calls the Constitution “ossified.” Its socialist platform is so radical that the DSA essentially proposes trashing the Constitution completely, developing a “new political order,” and writing “founding documents of a new socialist democracy.” If allowed to flourish, DSA will render the U.S. society as we know it unrecognizable.
Here is a closer look at some of the DSA’s platform that rarely, if ever, come up during campaign speeches.
1. Ditch the Senate and Electoral College
DSA’s platform puts an emphasis on abolishing the Senate and the Electoral College, which would leave people in less populated states without effective representation. We know more densely populated areas lean Democrat. If popularity were the only measure, the east and west coasts and large cities in between, like Chicago, would likely win every election by simply out-voting the many small farming communities and sparsely populated counties that lean conservative and deserve a voice. The founders created the Senate and the Electoral College to preserve their voices.
2. Close the Prisons
DSA cloaks its intentions by using difficult-to-decipher language in its platform, such as, “We must constrain, diminish, and abolish the carceral forces of the state.” It is a fancy way to say DSA wants to get rid of police and prisons, which it views as “white supremacist institutions.” DSA calls for the “Freedom for all incarcerated people.” It wants to stop “police occupation of black and brown communities,” and it wants to remove firearms from law enforcement officers and security guards. The lawless DSA plan would “repeal local ordinances that criminalize” homelessness, squatting, and those “involved” in the sex and drug trades. But the platform also calls for “community-based response systems to transphobic and homophobic violence, especially violence targeting black trans women, that is entirely separated from the police and criminal law system,” the DSA platform reads. So, protection for this group, but no one else, apparently. --->READ MORE HERE
There’s no hiding now.
Zohran Mamdani — a proud, card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America — has been shying away from some of his fringe party’s agenda as he runs for mayor.
But newly-unearthed platforms from the DSA’s New York City chapter paint a shocking picture of the extreme shift toward radical policies the Big Apple could face if Mamdani is elected in November.
The NYC-DSA manifesto — which was scrubbed from its website in late 2021 and discovered by The Post through Internet archives — lays out how the group aims to “dismantle and move beyond” America’s capitalist society and create a “wholesale socialist transformation of our national and global economy.”
Some of the socialist group’s agenda has already been plucked by Mamdani for his insurgent campaign — including promising city-run grocery stores, free buses and increased public funding for hormone therapy and surgery for transgender people.
And since he trounced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the June Democratic primary, Mamdani has parroted even more of the NYC-DSA’s most recent dogma, including defending the decriminalization of prostitution and saying he supports ending mayoral control over city public schools.
When asked in detail about each of the planks on Thursday, Mamdani’s campaign refused to say whether he still ascribes to the values of the DSA, which he joined in 2017.
“Zohran’s affordability agenda is crystal clear: if Zohran has not publicly endorsed or spoken on a position during the campaign, it is not a part of his mayoral platform,” said Mamdani campaign spokesperson Dora Pekec.
She pointed to public comments Mamdani — who was elected to the state Assembly as a member of NYC-DSA in 2019 — made Thursday saying, “My platform is not the same as national DSA or any DSA organization.”
But Mamdani has not always rejected DSA stances that he has not publicly endorsed himself. --->READ MORE HERE
