DSA Co-Chair Ashik Siddique laid out the group’s strategy for using the Democratic Party as a launching pad for an independent socialist party. Siddique said DSA is a “big tent” that includes members who want to reform Democrats, those calling for a clean break, and others pursuing a “dirty...

🚨 Hasan Piker and Chris Rabb Lay Out the DSA Playbook for Using the Democratic Ballot Line Against the Party This clip is a clean look at the socialist left’s bizarre frenemy relationship with the Democratic Party. Hasan opens by attacking Democrats directly. They “don’t love you,” “don’t care about you,” and “don’t care about your interests.” But he does not tell people to leave the party. He tells them the Democratic primary is the battlefield because it “determines the trajectory of the Democratic Party.” Then Chris Rabb picks up the thread. Rabb says he “identif[ies] as a democratic socialist,” but is “running as a Democrat because the system creates this narrowness.” In other words, the Democratic label is not the identity. It is the vehicle. Rabb makes that even clearer moments later. He says Democrats may share the same label “in this moment,” but “we are very different.” Then he tells voters, “You don’t have to love the Democratic Party to vote for me. I do not care because I’m not here for the party. I’m here for the people.” The result is a strange but increasingly effective hostile partnership. The DSA needs the Democratic ballot line because third-party politics is a dead end. The Democratic Party keeps absorbing candidates who openly reject it. And over time, that one-way arrangement lets the socialist left take more ground inside the party while still pretending to be outsiders. But what do Democrats actually get out of this arrangement?

🚨 Is This Chris Cuomo Surrendering to DSA? Is DSA the Future of the Democratic Party? This Chris Cuomo segment almost feels like a surrender to the DSA. Cuomo frames the Democratic Socialists of America as the Democrats’ best shot at capturing populist affordability anger, then brings on DSA co-chair Ashik Siddique to make the socialist case. And who is the counterpoint? John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan, a Democratic mega-donor law-firm guy warning that socialism leads to Cuba and Venezuela. If the public face of the anti-DSA argument inside Democratic politics is a wealthy establishment Democrat telling people to trust the old Bill Clinton model while sounding like a Cold War PSA, then DSA has already won the optics fight before Ashik even opens his mouth. The worst part is that Morgan is basically right about the danger. He is just the worst possible messenger for it. If I had his ear, I would have told him to stop doing generic “socialism bad” warnings and get specific. Hit DSA on its own record. Hit them on their repeated delegations to Cuba and Venezuela, the praise for socialist regimes, the constant laundering of authoritarian politics through “solidarity,” and the new DSA platform coming this July, which I broke the news on. Saying “socialism bad” in the abstract does nothing. The argument has to be specific. DSA is bad by its own words and actions. By the delegations it sends, the regimes it flatters, the platform it passes, and the radicals it keeps elevating. Cuomo basically tees Siddique up as young and plugged into the future of the party. Morgan comes off like a dinosaur. And if he is serious about taking back his party, whoever is advising him on how to talk about DSA is doing him no favors.

🚨 Inside DSA’s “Workers Deserve More” Socialism 2026 Panel: Abolish the Senate, Build “Militant” Unions, and Use a “Roadmap” to the “Big Thing” Not everyone is going to have time to sit through the full Hasan Piker panel on DSA’s “Workers Deserve More” program at Socialism 2026, so here are some of my favorite moments that really hammer home what DSA’s national leaders, with Hasan as hype man, say they are trying to build. DSA national co-chair Megan Romer says, “we know we’re not abolishing the Senate tomorrow.” Instead, the program is a “roadmap” for DSA politicians, chapters, and union organizers to push toward goals like social housing, moving “a little policy here and a little policy there” that can “eventually build up to this big thing.” Fellow national co-chair Ashik Siddique says DSA is “not formally a party, although we are functioning more and more like one,” while describing an internal debate ranging from formally breaking away and creating a new party to trying to “realign the Democratic Party.” Michaela Branagan, co-chair of the Workers Deserve More Program Committee, casually says, “we also talk about abolishing the Senate because who needs a Senate, right?” She also points to “powerful militant democratic unions” as part of DSA’s vision of what “real democracy” should look like. And when labor power comes up, Siddique points to the historical ability of organized workers “to shut down the economy” and says, “we need to rebuild labor power.” Are you ready to #TrySocialism yet? So is “the big thing” just DSA-speak for the revolution?

It turned philosophical. As Devine dove in deeper to Gabbard’s rise to where she’s sitting today, Devine asked Gabbard about her infamous departure from the Democratic Party, the party she once represented and even ran for president under. Gabbard let it all out. She said the modern Democratic Party has abandoned the Constitution entirely, and what we’re seeing now is a “spiritual problem” rooted in a rejection of objective truth. She saw it coming and says she was mocked for speaking out. “I remember, as I was running for president in 2020… I talked about wanting to revive kind of a new Democratic Party that would bring it back to our roots of fighting for the people, of fighting for free speech.” “And I was ridiculed. I was ridiculed at that Democratic event for having the audacity to say such things.” That was just five years ago. She says the party’s descent has only accelerated since then. “The Democratic Party has rapidly become far more extreme.” So where did things go so wrong? “You can point to a lot of different moments,” “But really fundamentally, the Democratic Party is not rooted in the Constitution.” What troubles her most is their denial of reality. “Their refusal, for example, to accept that there is such a thing as objective truth.” “We have people in the Democratic Party—almost everyone—who accepts this or promotes and propagates that there is no such thing as a man or a woman.” And it doesn’t stop there. “How is it that these people really don’t believe that there is such a thing as objective truth?” “Fundamentally, it’s a spiritual problem where they are putting themselves in the position of believing that they are God, and therefore they are the ones who designate what is true and what is not, what is right and what is wrong.” This was a total unmasking of her former party.
