Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said he would rather see Republicans keep control of the House by five seats than watch Democrats win the chamber by the same margin, warning that a “nightmare” razor-thin majority would leave party leaders “hostage to the DSA.”
The Democratic party leadership hates the DSA, Democrats abandoned labor decades ago and the DSA is pro labor.
Personally, I think the DSA is “bait”, used by the Democrats to win elections, but then abandoned.
I hope I’m wrong and the DSA does hold the party leaders “hostage” to force attention to their cause. That’s what they’re supposed to do. That’s how you pass legislation, or at least get some concessions.
I suspect the Democrats will betray the DSA at the first opportunity. That’s what Amazon pays them to do, after all. STOP LABOR AT ALL COSTS
