against the tired, tepid, and timid leadership from the Democrat establishment. “There’s no affirmative vision really com-


ing from most places in the Democratic Par- ty, with the exception of democratic social- ism,” says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a DSA member and possible presidential can- didate in the 2028 Democratic primaries.


AMERICAN VALUES Belatedly, some Democrat centrists are sounding the alarm about the danger the DSA poses. Democratic strategist James Carville, who


helped propel Bill Clinton to victory as presi- dent in 1992, insists that the DSA’s rise means that “it’s time for Democrats to talk the ‘s’ word — schism.” He warns, “These people do not like Demo-


crats. Not only are they not Democrats, (but they also) wish Democrats poorly.” New York Rep. Tom Suozzi says it’s im-


portant for his fellow Democrats to support “commonsense solutions that stay true to our American values.” He has joined with other centrists to


promote “The Promise to America.” It pro- claims that its signers are “proud of Amer- ica, want safety, not lawlessness,” and “We are capitalist, not socialist.” Sounds good, but so far only 10 Democrat


House members out of 212 have signed the promise (and no U.S. senators). The DSA’s army of foot soldiers is now


one of the most powerful forces in Demo- cratic Party primaries, apparently capable of intimidating Democrat officeholders into si- lence or issuing pathetic calls that the party “can be a big tent” representing both social- ists and moderates. It’s hard to see any such big tent that won’t eventually explode out of the inherent


contradictions contained inside it. Consider Darializa Avila Chevalier, a


32-year-old DSA member and Ph.D. gradu- ate student from New York’s East Harlem, who defeated Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in the June congressional primary. She has called the United States “a f***ing


disgrace,” referred to the U.S. as “occupied” Native American land, and boasted that she once rubbed her soiled hands on an Ameri- can flag. She co-founded Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), the militant stu- dent group behind the violent 2024 occupa- tion of the campus after the Hamas attacks in Gaza the year before. CUAD was explicitly nihilistic in its man-


ifesto, which was co-written by Chevalier: “We are Westerners fighting for the eradica- tion of Western Civilization. We stand in full solidarity with every movement for libera- tion in the Global South. Our intifada is an Internationalist one.”


LOST FOR WORDS She and many of her DSA allies are so ideo- logically extreme that Jeff Maurer, a former writer for wildly left-wing comic John Oliver’s HBO show, is lost for words. He recently wrote: “My challenge is to find


words to describe just how bonkers this Cirque du Soleil-level show truly is.” Founded in 1982 as a vehicle to push the


Democratic Party leftward, the DSA lan- guished in obscurity until the 2016 presiden- tial campaign of Bernie Sanders and the 2018 upset victory of Ocasio-Cortez over the third- highest ranking member of the House Demo- cratic leadership. The DSA is now the fastest-growing politi- cal group in the U.S. But with its sudden suc-


DARIALIZA AVILA CHEVALIER HAS CALLED THE UNITED STATES “A F***ING DISGRACE,” REFERRED TO THE U.S. AS “OCCUPIED” NATIVE AMERICAN LAND, AND BOASTED THAT SHE ONCE RUBBED HER SOILED HANDS ON AN AMERICAN FLAG.
