DSA Ties Should Disqualify Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other prominent progressives’ membership in the Democratic Socialists of America membership have “been treated gingerly,”gripes Commentary’s Seth Mandel. Yet “affiliation with the DSA should finally and rightfully be regarded as disqualifying for an elected official.” After all, the recent DSA national convention included a resolution making “it an expellable offense to say ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’ or to ‘have knowingly provided material aid to Israel,’” plus one “censuring Ocasio-Cortez for being too pro-Israel.” Who wants to be associated with a “hate group?” No way “any politician’s membership in such a group should be acceptable.” https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/justice-democrats-jd/
