It emphasizes that many Democrats share and even advocate for policies aligned with socialist principles, such as open borders, abolition of ICE, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >ending mass incarceration<\/a>, and expansive welfare programs. Prominent Democrats like Kamala Harris, Ilhan Omar, and Joe Biden have expressed views that de-emphasize criminality and border enforcement, aligning with DSA ideologies.DSA candidates explicitly call for abolishing prisons, police, and borders, and promoting policies like rent control and housing as a human right. The article suggests that mainstream Democrats often avoid confronting the full implications of these positions, which align closely with socialist goals, and many openly accept or support these ideals. the piece implies that the political landscape is shifting, with DSA candidates embodying a more radical progression of conventional democratic policies.  <\/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=nFhRFUFvDnE>  Jonathan Karl \/ 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\/29\/the-dsa-is-the-logical-conclusion-of-democrats-insane-anti-american-positions\/\" 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=The DSA Is The Logical Conclusion Of Democrats\u2019 Insane, Anti-American Positions&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/29\/the-dsa-is-the-logical-conclusion-of-democrats-insane-anti-american-positions\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=The DSA Is The Logical Conclusion Of Democrats\u2019 Insane, Anti-American Positions&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/29\/the-dsa-is-the-logical-conclusion-of-democrats-insane-anti-american-positions\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/29\/the-dsa-is-the-logical-conclusion-of-democrats-insane-anti-american-positions\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=The DSA Is The Logical Conclusion Of Democrats\u2019 Insane, Anti-American Positions&#038;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/29\/the-dsa-is-the-logical-conclusion-of-democrats-insane-anti-american-positions\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &#038; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<style>  \/* FORCE larger text *\/<br \/> .wp-block-post-content *,<br \/> .<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-may-release-his-tax-returns-after-irs-settlement\/\" title=\"Trump &#039;may release&#039; his tax returns after IRS settlement\">wp-block-paragraph<\/a>,<br \/> p,<br \/> .entry-content p {<br \/>     font-size: 21px !important;<br \/>     line-height: 1.75 !important;<br \/>     font-weight: 400 !important;<br \/> }<br \/> <\/style>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Of 257 Democrats in Congress, just 15 were willing to sign onto a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepromisetoamerica.com\/signatories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coalition<\/a> to combat rising socialism and communism. As part of their \u201cPromise to America,\u201d the 15 Democrats declare (among other things): \u201cWe are capitalist, not socialist,\u201d \u201cWe want safety, not lawlessness,\u201d \u201cWe are proud, not ashamed of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, more than 90% of congressional Democrats declined to sign onto a statement opposing socialism, at a time when Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates are surging. Yet rather than mount a group effort to stop the growing rise of socialism, most Democrats appear to have no problem with it. <\/p>\n<div id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2587730749\" 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 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">But that should come as no surprise. After all, the DSA candidates aren\u2019t inventing any new ideas or positions. They\u2019re merely taking positions already embraced by much of the Democrat Party and just following them through to their logical conclusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Take immigration for example. For years so-called mainstream Democrats have insisted that illegal aliens should not be treated as criminals and should have pathways to citizenship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Then Sen. Kamala Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KamalaHarris\/status\/855566787513122816?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> in a 2017 post on X that \u201can undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. Give people a path to citizenship. The vast majority of folks we\u2019re talking about are living a lawful life and paying taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., (though a so-called \u201cprogressive\u201d herself) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IlhanMN\/status\/1765953197653279023?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declared<\/a>: \u201cLet me be clear: No human being is illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">After then-President Joe Biden called illegal aliens illegal during his 2024 State of the Union address, Democratic Reps. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DeliaRamirezIL\/status\/1765943756979634574?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Delia Ramirez<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepChuyGarcia\/status\/1765950131159859281?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chuy Garcia<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2910551\/state-of-the-union-biden-laken-riley-illegal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joaquin Castro<\/a> all said some variation of \u201cno human being is illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The DSA also argues that no human is illegal. The logical conclusion of that is flat out calling to abolish ICE and end all deportations, which is what some DSA candidates are calling for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">New York DSA candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/politics\/these-people-are-lunatics-competitive-dsa-candidate-sparks-fury-with-answer-on-deportations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has said<\/a> \u201call deportations are wrong\u201d even for those convicted of crimes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The same pattern goes for police and prisons. Mainstream Democrats have spent years calling for police reform and an end to \u201cmass incarceration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">During her 2020 presidential campaign, Harris\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/kamalaharris.medium.com\/kamalas-plan-to-transform-the-criminal-justice-system-and-re-envision-public-safety-in-america-f83a3d739bae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">campaign<\/a> had a plan explicitly entitled to \u201ctransform the criminal justice system\u201d with a section on \u201cEnd Mass Incarceration.\u201d Biden likewise pledged to <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20221220162432\/https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201031233716\/https:\/\/joebiden.com\/justice\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reduce<\/a> federal incarceration. The DSA arrives at a more sweeping conclusion \u2014 but a conclusion that is ultimately the logical end of mainstream Democrats position. DSA candidates frequently endorse just abolishing prisons and police departments entirely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsnow.com\/news\/mamdani-backed-congressional-candidate-deleted-posts-calling-to-seize-private-property-abolish-police-borders-prisons\/article_6cc9bbbf-8c26-5cec-ad26-c0a14b50f585.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chevalier<\/a> said: \u201cA world without borders \u2014 just like a world without prisons or police \u2014 is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.\u201d She also posted: \u201cNo. It <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/another-one-new-dem-candidates-old-tweets-unearthed-called-for-the-single-worst-policing-policy-weve-ever-seen-and-so-much-more-insanity\/\" title=\"Another One: New Dem Candidate&#039;s Old Tweets Unearthed, Called for the Single Worst Policing Policy We&#039;ve Ever Seen - and So Much More Insanity\">means ending policing full stop<\/a>. Period. No more police at all ever\u201d in response to defund the police debates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/inthesetimes.com\/article\/future-of-defund-the-police-movement-minneapolis-abolitionists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Willie. Burnley Jr<\/a>, a DSA endorsed candidate, was elected to Somerville, Massachusetts City Council and co-founded the Defund Somerville Police Department organization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Or take housing. Mainstream Democrats have adopted positions for more government-subsidized housing and expanding welfare. <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200401220628\/https:\/\/joebiden.com\/housing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Biden<\/a> declared that \u201cHousing should be a right, not a privilege\u201d and directed HUD to create a national strategy for \u201cmaking housing a right for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/dsa-la.org\/committees\/housing-homelessness-committee-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DSA<\/a> begins with the same premise but then advances policies that logically flow from it: yes, housing is a human right and therefore aggressive rent controls and freezes follow suit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In each instance, the only difference is that Democrats simply try to hide the ball on the end goal of their positions. If no human is illegal, then why should there be deportations? If incarceration is unjust, why should prisons exist at all? If housing is a human right, why should markets and landlords determine housing prices? Democrats try to avoid answering those questions, but DSA candidates don\u2019t. In fact, they embrace answering them. So many Democrats refuse to publicly distance themselves from socialism and these candidates because they fundamentally agree with them.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
