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)[/b]
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.

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