Will all Democrats change to the Socialist Party?

Will the classic JFK Liberals switch to the DSA?

Bill Mahrer is afraid they will, he is looking at changing to the Republican party.

What is it that draws normal Democrats to the DSA party?

DSA’s Position on Prisoner Release and Abolition
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) does not operate as a single monolithic party, and its positions vary by faction and context. However, the organization’s Abolition Working Group and its broader political platform make clear that DSA supports abolishing the carceral forces of the state — meaning prisons, policing, and related systems — and that this includes freedom for all incarcerated people Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)+1.

[b]Abolitionist Commitment
DSA’s Political Platform calls for:

Defunding the police and ending their expansion

Ending the criminalization of working-class survival

Freedom for all incarcerated people

Demilitarizing the police and ending colonial policing

Investing in community self-governance and care instead of incarceration Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

This framework frames abolition as both a political demand and an organizing strategy to build alternatives to prisons, such as community-based accountability and social services factually.co.

Great question. It's a mystery to me for sure. That being said, I believe there are a few points in their platform that most "normal" Democrats agree with. Open borders, defunding police, illegals voting and amnesty for all. I don't believe most are on board with the more radical segments of their bizarre plan.

@carpediem like those policies aren't radical enough?

It will vary from state to state. A lot of the democrats in my state are very middle of the road in their thoughts and idea's.

Hmm well probably the possibility of an America with universal healthcare, strong trade unions, public housing, worker protections, publicly owned utilities, progressive taxation, extensive social safety nets...

To name a few.

PS. It's not a party.
One things for sure. It will be an ‘ism’ of some sorts.. divide and conquer comrade✊

Bill is just afraid that Israel might finally be hung out to dry.

@Tastyfrzz I believe he's honestly afraid of the insanity the socialism path is. Justifiably so

The draw is the laziness looking to life paid with other people's money. And the stupidity of believing it's sustainable.
