Matthew Continetti: The DSA Membership Is Disproportionately Influential, It Will Shape the Direction of the Dem Primary

RUSH EXCERPT:
CONTINETTI: "Sure, absolutely. As a percentage of the total of Democrats, the dsa membership and of course these new elected officials who won primaries are relatively a minor part. I say they are disproportionately influential. So what we are looking at is the post potential for aoc squad should double in size of after the 2026 election pretty socialists candidates like abdul el sayed can win they are gonna have a presence in the Senate that they have never had before. And what that will do, Paul, is shape the future direction of the Democratic primary. We know it’s energetic minorities who can provide the guidance and direction and spirit of the movement. That’s what we’re seeing with the dsa and I think that’s a danger for Democrats. Not sure that midterms are the 2028 cycle will Democrats are going to have to appeal beyond just the primary base and beyond even unsettle electric at the moment look to the future a lot of these dsa policies such as Medicare for all, defending the police, change your constitutional order, reparations for slavery, those are not popular."
