Democratic Socialists of America Embroiled in ‘Civil War’ Over Future as AOC Is Slammed for ‘Consistent Pattern of Opportunism’

The Democratic Party continues to struggle with internal issues and divisions that have fractured it beyond recognition as socialist candidates fight among each other while pushing out moderates entirely.

There are currently three major issues facing Democrats that have created a civil war within a civil war.

The first is a lack of moderate voices. Any so-called moderates still left standing are moderates in name only, like James Talarico in Texas, Rob Sand in Iowa, or Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who ran down the middle but is governing her state like California.

The second issue is the party’s willingness to normalize socialism. The rise of candidates like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York during the 2018 midterms, and other “Squad” members, left the door open for fringe thinking and highly partisan talking points.

This created an environment where Democrats seeking bipartisanship or moderation, like Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, felt the wrath of liberal lawmakers and got roasted by mainstream media outlets for daring to work across the aisle.

The third and most recent problem is the division between AOC acolytes and the new kids in town, the Democratic Socialists of America. Examples include New York City’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Ironically, the DSA doesn’t think AOC’s political platform goes far enough, despite her rhetoric about taxing the rich, the “Green New Deal,” giving Medicare to all, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and more.

New York’s Biggest Teachers Union Fighting the Socialist Mayor It Helped Elect After Mamdani Files Lawsuit to Stop Pay Raise

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani received overwhelming support for his election from the city’s largest teachers union, the United Federation of Teachers (UFT).

Mamdani thanked them by filing a lawsuit to stop a pay raise for education paraprofessionals.

In July, the New York City Council passed the “RESPECT Check Act,” giving public-school paraprofessionals, like teacher aides, a one-time $10,000 “workforce stabilization” payment.

The Act was passed by the Council unanimously and became law without the mayor’s signature.

Although Mamdani supported a version of the bill in the past, now that he is comfortable in the Mayor’s seat, he has changed his mind.

He argued that the Act violates New York State’s Taylor Law and ultimately filed a lawsuit against the city.

WOW! Slimy DSA Democrat Who Ran as “Poor Waitress” in Wisconsin Primary Was Making Bank from Soros Orgs.

DSA Candidate Rebecca Cooke won her primary this week in Wisconsin’s 3rd district, a plus-3 Republican district. Rebecca will now run against retired Navy SEAL, Representative Derrick Van Orden.

In a recent political ad, DSA candidate Cooke ends with this… “We need real working people in Washington. And that’s why I approve of this message.”

Cooke ran as a working-class waitress. But, since she’s DSA (commie), you know there’s more to this story.

In fact, FOX News recently discovered that Rebecca Cooke delayed reporting her personal financial disclosure until two days after the Democrat primary.

Cooke requested a 90-day extension from the Clerk of the House on April 24, moving her disclosure deadline from May 15 to August 13, according to the official extension request.

Wisconsin’s primary was held on August 11.

Cooke ultimately defeated former Eau Claire City Council President Emily Berge with approximately 60 percent of the vote, setting up a November rematch with Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden.

Zohran Mamdani’s New ‘Free’ Childcare Program Plagued With Problems Just Two Weeks Before Launch

Zohran Mamdani’s new program to provide ‘free’ childcare to New York City residents is already running into all kinds of roadblocks from funding to physical resources.

Consider this a preview of how his city-owned grocery stores will operate.

Of course, the mayor has no choice but to try to make this work. He campaigned on this program, among others.

Also, it’s important to point out that this news about the problems with the childcare program is not being reported by conservative media, it’s the liberal New York Times.

From the NY Times story:

Funding Delays Threaten Rollout of Mamdani’s 2-K Program

Funding issues and late payments are threatening the rollout of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s free child care system for 2-year-olds, two weeks before the program is scheduled to begin, day care providers said.

Many early childhood centers have yet to receive funding to buy classroom furniture and basic supplies like pencils and paper, or to pay newly hired teachers and assistants. Without the money, several providers have warned parents that the centers will not open when school starts on Sept. 10.

Because of the delays, city officials had encouraged providers to apply for interest-free bridge loans from the city — not just for 2-K programs but also for 3-K and pre-K programs. But many of those who have applied for the loans say that money has not arrived either, forcing them to take out high-interest personal loans, borrow from relatives and drain their personal savings.

Who could have predicted such a thing?

Another DSA Nutcase: US Senate Candidate N’Kiyla Jasmine Thomas Posts Extremely Unhinged Emotional Breakdown 

This US Senate candidate from Oklahoma is your ‘winner of the week.”

The unhinged nutcase posted video of her self screaming, running into a pink bedroom, and ranting against “Christian nationalists!”

N’Kiyla cuts out a photo of Markwayne Mullin and then tapes it into her “Burn Book.”

This must be something they do on the left.

Obviously, she really doesn’t like Markwayne, the former US Senator and current Homeland Security Secretary.

Why did she think posting this was a good idea?

AOC officially rejoins Democratic Socialists of America as she eyes possible 2028 presidential run

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has officially rejoined the Democratic Socialists of America group.

The congresswoman, among House Democrats’ most progressive members, signed up for an annual membership in 2018, then let her membership lapse for seven years, the news outlet NOTUS reported Thursday 

She is the most prominent politician affiliated with the organization, which had considerable success in this primary season in knocking off some long-standing Democratic incumbents. 

Recent polling shows Ocasio-Cortez a favorite among potential Democratic presidential candidates, and her decision to rejoin the DSA could score points among Democratic voters who appear to be moving further to the left in the midterm cycle. 

The DSA confirmed the she rejoined the organization in August, and told NOTUS that it’s not usual for the DSA to discuss membership status of individuals. However, with Ocasio-Cortez appearing to be weighing a 2028 presidential bid, the organization decided to announce her membership.

Watch a DSA Member Explain That Their Takeover of the Country Will be a ‘Violent Process’

One of the most amazing things about the DSA is hearing them talk in their own words when they think only other members are listening.

A clip that has been making the rounds on social media shows several members engaging in what looks like a Zoom meeting when one of them begins to detail how they are going to take over the Democrat Party and ultimately the country.

He then mentions that it will be a violent process.

This is why Democrats and media liberals must be called out when they try to claim that these people just want healthcare. It’s a total lie.

Townhall reports:

The DSA Promises Its Revolution Will Be a Violent One

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) haven’t exactly been shy about their intentions for America should they ever gain majority power. They will destroy America’s founding documents, the Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court. They want to undo our immigration laws, abolish our borders, end ICE, and put the kibosh on law enforcement.

Of course, they’re also aware that tens of millions of Americans own guns and that many of us will put up a resistance to the commie takeover of the U.S.A. That just means the DSA is promising the revolution will be bloody and violent, as they usually are.

“We have seen that the Democratic Party establishment that we have has to be ripped out,” said Michael Beyer, a DSA activist and streamer. “We can actually start to grab hold of the ship of state and steer it in our direction, but it’s going to be a, you know, violent process.”

Oliver Larkin, who is running for Congress in Florida’s 25th Congressional District, added, “Our country needs to change and this Democratic Party needs to change. I was more than glad to go on Hasan’s stream. This is we need, as Democrats, we need to go into these spaces.”

Another Winner: Radical DSA Candidate for US House, Defund the Police Advocate and Convicted Felon Trashed Black Leaders Last Year – Hakeem Jeffries Forced to Speak Out Against Him

The party of tolerance and inclusion strikes again.

DSA Democrat William Lawrence is under fire for demeaning older black political leaders.

New video has surfaced of Democratic DSA candidate William Lawrence, a convicted felon and defund the police protester, being confronted after he said that older Black political leaders “defang the white left.”

Lawrence is very popular on the far left and with the communist faction taking control of the Democrat Party. William Lawrence was arrested and found guilty in 2013 during a protest against a Michigan gas pipeline.

Lawrence was so impressed with his activism that he posted a picture of the protest on his Instagram page.

Lawrence also spoke out publicly about defunding the police although he now is attempting to distance himself from those comments.

And William Lawrence also has been very public in his hatred of Israel and support for Palestinians.

Privileged NYC City Socialist with a VERY Fitting Nickname Gets Dunked On After Posting This Condescending Message on Social Media

A champagne Democrat socialist (DSA) with an incredibly appropriate nickname is getting dragged after posting a quite telling message on social media.

NYC resident Grace Ryan, a 25-year-old chocolate heiress from Ohio who graduated from NYU this spring, went on X last week to defend recent criticism she has received for being a rich girl cheering on socialism.

“Everyone’s trying to dunk on me for being a progressive from a privileged background but like have yall never heard of noblesse oblige?” Ryan wrote. “I have a moral obligation to use my advantages to help those who are struggling.”

Most Americans, of course, have not. And not surprisingly, X roasted her all over again for this ultra-condescending post.

One fact they continuously pointed out was that Ryan lives in a rent-stabilized department despite her family’s wealth.

As The New York Post notes, the idea of “noblesse oblige” lets the rich keep their fortunes as long as they share a small portion of it. But the DSA advocates for a classless society, as Karl Marx did, a goal Ryan clearly does not believe in advancing.

Ryan, who has nicknamed herself “Lulu Lenin,” lives up to her nickname so well that she could pose as the poster child for champagne socialism in a GOP ad.

Her rich daddy is even a registered Republican!

Radical ‘Maoist’ Faction of the DSA Says AOC is Too ‘Moderate’ to Run for President in 2028

There is apparently a ‘Maoist’ faction of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), called the ‘Liberation Caucus’ and according to them, far left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is too ‘moderate’ to run for president in 2028.

This is going to be news to the millions of Americans who see AOC as a leading figure of the radical left. She is still a member of the DSA chapter in New York City.

If AOC is a moderate, what does that say about the rest of them?

FOX News reports:

AOC blasted as too moderate by Maoist DSA faction as 2028 buzz grows

The Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) Liberation Caucus is rejecting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., as a potential candidate for Democrats in the 2028 presidential election, arguing she is too far removed from the socialist agenda.

“Liberation condemns Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s continued retreat from socialist politics and rejects any effort to present her as the future presidential standard-bearer for DSA, or for the broader socialist movement,” the DSA Liberation Caucus wrote in the statement.

DSA slammed Ocasio-Cortez as an “opportunist” and condemned her vote to defend Israel’s right to exist and for not holding firm as an anti-Zionist.

“In short, it was determined that she had failed to meet conditions concerning Palestine solidarity,” the statement said.

After withdrawing a conditional endorsement of the “Squad” Democrat in 2024, DSA’s National Political Committee “determined” that Ocasio-Cortez hosted a public panel with an alleged Zionist organization — the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.

She was also trashed for joining a group of House Democrats to co-sign a statement — after voting against providing Israel with supplemental weapon funding — that voiced support for Israel’s right to have defensive systems.
