I really hope people don't support this party and make them the stupid face of Democratic Socialism.

Which party?

The DSA i just heard of. If this article is saying anything true, then the DSA is making huge mistakes associating itself with Castro and then it's other big agendas are eliminating police and getting rid of public prisons(imo, everyone involved with private prisons should be sentenced to death. It's almost as bad as a capitalist health care system).

Getting rid of cops and standard prisons are a pie in the sky option right now. I get that it's a good goal as long as we create a more humane system but a fledgling party can't expect to push that and expect that people aren't going to push back. Thanks for listening.

If you didn't read the article to the end, I'd recommend that you do. It's interesting.
