The Democrats opened the door to the socialists, and they're doing all they can to take over the party while most of the Democrats are either welcoming them or talking about being a "big tent."
But the socialists don't want a "big tent" — they want to get in and upend our system of government, and they're not shy about admitting it.
Listen as the Democratic Socialists of America national co-chair, Ashik Siddique, explains one big thing they have in their platform to get rid of, if they get power. They want to abolish the U.S. Senate.
DSA's Ashik Siddique: Our goal is "to replace capitalism with socialism."

"That power is not conceded without struggle."

"That's part of our platform. We don't think that's extreme," Siddique said. "We think it's a change that will make the country more democratic."
So what he/they want is completely counter to the Constitution, which explicitly set up things like the Electoral College and the Senate to head off pure democracy and mob rule. The Senate is supposed to represent the interests of the states. We have a House to address proportional representation, which was what was so brilliant about the construction of the Constitution.
If the DSA got its way to just have the House, the country would basically be controlled by New York and California, and become a one-party Democratic (or socialist) state.
Siddique previously said that they wanted to replace capitalism with socialism.

So if this is what they think, how can any DSA member swear (honestly) to uphold the Constitution if they are sworn in?
As we noted, it isn't just this guy; some want to abolish prisons and borders. They want to use running as "Democrats" to get there.
Listen as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani spun his head off when asked about the positions of one of the New York City socialists, Darializa Avila Chevalier.
ABC: Abolishing prisons, having open borders…most of Americans won’t go along with that.

MAMDANI: We can have disagreements on policy positions.
ABC: We can disagree on something as basic as we should have prisons?
MAMDANI: There are prisons. pic.twitter.com/QfjzGVj7yZ
On our 250th birthday, they want to undo the very framework of our government — that's not "extreme" to them. The states that would be disenfranchised would never go along with what the DSA wants. Article V would require every state to agree, and that's not happening. But this just shows how extreme the socialists are. This is what the Democrats let into the House. This is what has fully captured their party.
