Why is the DSA picking up so many mentions on the talking head news recently?

What happened? I cant tell if the dems are pushing them to attempt to appear to be separate/different or if the gop is pushing it to highlight that the dems are lunatics.

You’ve seen the media work for the GOP?

Really?
Sorry I missed that the last 30 years.


Why?
Because the media is an operation itself. Operation Mockingbird.

Annnnnd the media has a communist agenda and works to set the table.


Been this way for decades.

Because they literally stated their goals are to destroy the USA.

Because Trump fricked up so hard that these clowns are actually considered viable candidates even in swing states.

Are they winning outside of retarded bughives like New York? If not, they're still nationally irrelevant and non viable.

Need to drop the D in their name. Anything with democratic in its name is a lie. There is nothing democratic about socialism. Socialism is communisms stepping stone.

You honestly think this stops in New York? Look over at Michigan and Colorado right now. Look at Seattle.

The Dems are pushing them because they have active and vocal followings and that does far more to create the perception of momentum than does your average Democrat who feels their party has left them. As they give these groups (DSA won't be the only one) more and more of a seat at the table, it pushes out moderates and conservative Democrats. As it pushes more out, the DNC feels pressured to make noticeable gains where ever the can and a loud, rabid group is what they think they need.

Mamdani is as much a litmus test as was Platner and as is Omar. The test is to see how much socialism can be pushed onto the voters before they push back. Once that level is reached, they'll backtrack slightly but set wherever that is as the new norm and then push again in a few years. Rinse and repeat until they are either beaten back down to irrelevance or they have the numbers to begin doing the crap they are talking about.

I'd recommend taking a look into the notable members of the DSA. There's some definitely recognizable names in that list, of dumbocrat politicians, or dim political backers.
The socialist faction has been present in the DNC for over 100 years, but have finally gotten to where they've taken a significant portion of the party.
Now take into account that much of the MSM you referred to, LITERALLY get their scripts from the DNC (2:00 emails).

I could disagree. A socialist party bringing in millions in donations, to sponsor political placements like AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib (SP don't care) Hakin Jeffries and their ilk... To me that's a threat, not irrelevant.

Democratic Socialism is one of the branches of the socialism family.
To me, the biggest notable thing about Democratic Socialism is that the government still gives citizens votes. But only for the candidates the government select to let them vote for. (Sound like any dumbocrat primaries or election schemes over the last 20 years or so? Especially recently?)

Simple. The MSM have decided that the younger socialists are the team they’re supporting.

Because the DSA is the Democrat party now. And the old school Dems know it.

The problem is that they shouldn't be winning anywhere.

Beyond that though, the answer is "yes". A good gauge is the membership of The Squad. Prior to 2018 there were socialist-leaning Democrats but they were few and considered outsiders. AOC, Tlaib, Pressley and Omar won, met around Freshman Orientation and pretty much created their own unofficial pro-socialism caucus.

While their membership has fluctuated slightly since then, the key factor is that it's grown. They now have members from New York, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Illinois.

Now the destruction of the democrat party is Trump's fault, too.
