They Admit It: The New Goal is to Destroy America

It’s clear that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are gaining prominence, especially with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being the longstanding frontrunner in betting markets for the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee. What makes this interesting is just how extreme the DSA’s views are. While sometimes the DSA’s “defund the police” stance breaks into mainstream media, that’s actually one of their tamer stances in the larger scheme of things.

So join us today as we explore the DSA’s actual program and discuss what a DSA-led America what might actually look like. Sure is interesting!

DSA Structure

Founded in 1982 through the merger of two leftist orgs, the DSA is made up of a National Convention (its highest decision-making body which convenes every two years) and super autonomous local chapters.

* National leadership

* Is where all dues go; they’re then partially redistributed back to chapters

* Made up of:

* The National Political Committee (NPC): serves as collective leadership and a board of directors

* A Steering Committee that makes interim decisions, oversees staff and finances, charters and revokes chapters and commissions, and implements convention priorities

* The NPC and national staff provide resources, field organizers, training, shared tools (phone/text banking, compliance help), and national priority campaigns.

* Local chapters
