      This is my question as well. I also support Medicare for all and ending corporate home ownership, but I absolutely do not support open borders and public control of large corporations, which is part of the DSA platform. Does this candidate also support open borders and public control of large corporations? I’ll vote for a democrat over a republican but not one who supports these aspects of the platform.
