From Canary Mission’s Latest Report:

Mass protest tactics around the Palestinian cause were tested in New York by the DSA’s largest chapter before going nationwide. NYC-DSA launched bartender Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and nine current New York State DSA legislators. Once in office, the DSA drafts policy for the politicians.

The career path for Democratic Socialists of America members: 1) Campus radicalism, 2) street organizing with BLM, Antifa, SJP, and pro-Hamas groups, 3) running for office and being groomed, trained, and provided resources by DSA.

“We need to turn the DSA into a factory. “From outside agitators to people with real power.”

DSA Agenda:

• Dismantle the prisons
• Defund the police
• Abolish ICE
• Align with Cuba, Iran, and China
• Open borders
• DEI
• Degradation of educational standards
• Opposition to Israel and Jews
• Grow the Red-Green alliance
• Expand the electorate with non-voters, young people, “immigrants,” especially Muslims.
• Support rank-choice voting
• Partner with community organizations and labor unions.

Key takeaways:

1) DSA is running a bloc of candidates, not independent candidates.

2) NYC-DSA is a national template. They have 14,000 members and 90,000 volunteers, while Los Angeles has 5,000 members.

3) Arrests for terrorist activities are viewed as “achievements” by perpetrators.

4) Candidates pose as “working class” but are often elites from wealthy families.

5) The goal is to expand the electorate to bring out young, immigrant, and Muslim voters.
