Democratic socialism became more in vogue among progressive Democrats following Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) two presidential campaigns. His failed bids for the presidency inspired some dissatisfied with the Democratic Party’s response to Trump and on legislation that it led several DSA-affiliated candidates, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), to run for office and win.


The enemy is Trump AND anyone who doesn’t fight him tooth and nail using every available tactic. I.E. Dems in power from 2021-2023 who could’ve prevented ALL OF THIS.
Maybe not prevented fully, but at least delayed. Instead the opened the whole door and let him waltz in.
