Much has been written about the DSA, so I decided to look up how much influence they have.
I counted (twice) zero members of congress.
I checked on the various caucuses in congress and found zero hits for the word 'socialist' (Did you know there was a Bourbon Caucus? Somehow only two members!)

I looked at the last presidential election and didn't find them. In fact, of all minor parties below the top 4, there were only 650K (0.41%) total votes in 2020, and that's for all of the parties below that top 4.
So I have to wonder about the continued focus on the DSA.
To me the headline is more: "Wackadoos boldly proclaim positions that statistically zero people support."
Old and tired: blaming the whole democratic party for the "Defund the Police" slogan rather than a handful of hard left nobodies being pumped up online by social media algorithms
New hotness: blaming the whole democratic party for the minimizing of Hamas' heinousness rather than a handful of hard left nobodies being pumped up online by social media algorithms
I think of my Congresswoman, Mikie Sherrill - former military, accomplished, reasonable. If Dems are the left - then the left does not act as charged. If not the left then the left is powerless. The Congressman one district north of mine if Josh Gottheimer - a conservative Dem. Yet the lazy press continues to tar Dems as if.
Took the words out of my mouth. And to add to it, we have TFF*G, a candidate for the presidency, advocating in so many words, killing generals, immigrants, political enemies even of his "party", overturning the Constitution, loving people like Putin, and his millions of followers loving his words, and it's barely a footnote in the news.
Charlie, come on, newsletter piece number two and three are about these terrible, horrible people's response. Not institutional Dems or the institutional left, but a vile subset of ignorant people. And in this morning's newsletter, the utter nonsense the FUTURE NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT is NUMBER FOUR?
Even though I don't drink, I kind of want to hang out with the Bourbon Caucus. They seem most likely to have their fingers on the pulse of average Americans.

Succinct analysis.
And "Abolish ICE"

I might prefer the Cannabis Caucus, if it existed. Pretty chill.
I drink but I don't like bourbon. I'd still join you.
Thanks for the correction. I missed it because they aren't a political party (apparently).
AOC has denounced the DSP and their position on Hamas.
I think they're a political organization and a caucus within the Democratic Party.
