Will Fare in Midterms\">article discusses recent political developments<\/a> in New York where self-identified democratic socialists, often equated with communists, have secured electoral victories, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >including primary wins<\/a> over incumbent Democrats. this has led to concern among Democratic Party leaders about thier own seats being challenged and lost to these candidates.Jonah Goldberg criticizes the Democratic Party for fostering organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America, which he believes threaten to destabilize the party. The article argues that Democrats intentionally recruited anti-American socialists and imported voters from abroad, resulting in their own electoral setbacks as these newcomers challenge existing incumbents. The shift signals that more communists may soon hold office, but party leadership appears unconcerned, focusing rather on other priorities. The piece highlights how the Democratic Party\u2019s strategic moves have inadvertently empowered their ideological opponents, with recent elections in New York exemplifying this trend.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qe1VXVABW3o\" target=\"_blank\">Zohran Mamdani for nyc\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/25\/dems-arent-afraid-of-the-communists-their-party-is-electing-they-just-hate-losing-their-jobs-to-them\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Dems Aren\u2019t Afraid Of The Communists Their Party Is Electing.

That\u2019s a wild misread.<\/p>\n<p>Party leadership isn\u2019t afraid of yet more communists getting elected. They\u2019re just mad that they and their friends are losing their own seats to them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1842949273\" class=\"d-flex justify-content-center fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 fdrlst__b89e9-entity-placement\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jonah Goldberg, a content creator who calls himself a conservative, and who appears to wear a silky almond-colored dishtowel as a hairpiece, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JonahDispatch\/status\/2070101797402722326\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lamented Thursday<\/a> that \u201cthe Democrats have nurtured an organization, the Democratic Socialists of America, that is determined to effectively destroy the Democratic Party in a hostile takeover.\u201d He said Democrats have \u201cliterally no clue how to deal with it.\u201d The implication from Goldberg is that Democrats are in a bit of a pickle, having created an uncontrollable monster for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democratic-assemblyman-ron-kim-calls-out-liberal-nonprofits-accuses-them-of-selling-out-to-cover-up-cuomos-abuse-of-power\/\" title=\"Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim Calls Out Liberal Nonprofits, Accuses Them Of Selling Out \u2018To Cover Up Cuomo...s Abuse Of Power...\">short-term gain<\/a>, now finding themselves in a state of regret.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not it. Democrats are getting exactly what they wanted, if not exactly <em>how<\/em> they wanted. They appealed to and recruited <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/25\/after-250-years-our-american-republic-is-coming-apart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anti-American<\/a> communists, largely by <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/25\/socialist-primary-wins-prove-mass-migration-remakes-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">importing their voters<\/a> from the Third World, and cultivated their electoral power one election at a time. The only problem for them is that now the Democrats \u2014 whose entire life\u2019s purpose is being in Congress \u2014 are seeing their own seats challenged by the very people they wanted in the party. They either didn\u2019t anticipate that part or it came before they were ready.<\/p>\n<p>In New York alone, two Democrat incumbents just lost their primaries to communists. An open seat has been all but secured by a third one. The newcomers <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Brad_Lander#:~:text=The%20race%20will%20serve%20as,Sanders%20(I)%20endorsed%20Lander.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">were<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Claire_Valdez#:~:text=Velazquez%20endorsed%20Reynoso%2C%20who%20is,member%20of%20the%20NYC%2DDSA.\">opposed<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2026-election\/espaillat-ny-house-primary-loss-district-13-avila-chevalier-rcna351127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">by party leadership<\/a>, which is normal, because party leaders essentially always back the incumbent or the more \u201celectable candidate,\u201d which is synonymous with \u201cthe candidate who is likely to go along with party leadership in Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And so it appears that three (more) communists are on their way to the capital. It\u2019s a bitter goodbye to the incumbents for party leaders, but they\u2019ll move on in short order. They\u2019re not afraid of having more communists in office. Republicans and conservatives who think that\u2019s the case are deluding themselves.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Eddie Scarry
