I see no reason to cater to the DSA. In terms of popularity, YouGov puts Zorhan at 46% popularity and AOC at 43%. This is below Kamala at 49%. When it comes to electability, the more moderate a candidate was, the better they preformed this election. All super left-leaning candidates underperformed. According to Ballotpedia, the single senator the DSA endorsed lost. They also endorsed 29 candidates in the US house, 8 won 20 lost (27% success rate). With policy the DSA doesn’t offer anything practical. “Medicare for all” isn’t a policy, it’s an empty platitude with no actual plan to achieve it. The green new deal not only would be economically destructive but was a completely unachievable bill to push for. Rent freezing doesn’t actually solve housing issues, it just makes the housing market worse for new renters and home buyers. And of course the national DSA positions on foreign policy are atrocious, blaming the Ukraine war on “NATO expansion.” The DSA has controversy with foreign governments. The DSA sent “election monitors” to Venezuela in which they “certified” that Maduro won his last election. They also met with members of his staff. In terms of supporting the Democratic Party, it doesn’t. The DSA did not endorse Joe Biden nor did it endorse Kamala Harris. They also push terms that are meant to erode confidence in the Democratic Party like “corporate dem”, “zionist democrat” and “establishment democrat”. DSA candidates are also legislatively impotent. AOC has had zero bills of the 294 bills she has sponsored. Bernie Sanders passed two out of 477 he sponsored. So what exactly does the DSA have to offer?
