Do Young People Understand the Democratic Socialists Of America?

Authored by Christian Milord via The Epoch Times,Polls show that many young folks in their 20s and 30s favor the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Some polls estimate that more than 40 percent of folks in that demographic think that socialism, rather than capitalism, is a beneficial system for society.However, do these young people truly understand what the DSA stands for and what their policies would do to society? Have they studied the history of socialism around the globe?Many DSA candidates appear to be tone deaf regarding the socialist model and its repercussions in scores of countries.Do young people understand that socialism is one small step away from communism, wherein every aspect of one’s life is monitored, and the government controls the means of production?Do they understand that the first values to be curtailed are freedom of religion and speech?Socialist leaders quickly seize the information narrative and squash media outlets that don’t adhere to their party’s line.Will youngsters have access to their favorite apps or only those approved by the state?Do young people realize that “democratic socialist” is a contradiction in terms?Democracy is the rule of the people, for the people, by the people. By contrast, socialism is governance carried out by a small circle of like-minded autocrats who crave power and believe they are smarter than everyone else. These authoritarians attempt to convince people that they care about the masses, yet in reality, their goal is to control them through edicts and propaganda.In the mid-term elections, several DSA candidates are vying for seats at the federal, state, and local levels of government.Are young people aware that these candidates want to abolish or defund law enforcement at all levels, as well as open the borders and prisons? How will youngsters fend for themselves when criminals are let loose in their communities? Have they thought about this scenario?Have young folks considered that, in a socialist economic model, they will have to pay for many goods twice, including groceries?First, their taxes would subsidize government-run grocery stores, similar to the experiment in New York City under Mayor Mamdani. When they shop, they’ll have to pay for the items before leaving the store. In the private sector, we pay for our products just once. How does this square with the DSA mantra of affordability?What do young people think about the concept of free education, healthcare, and housing with price controls? Do they really believe that anything is free in life?There is no free lunch. Taxpayers, including young people, will have to pay higher taxes to fund those “free” programs. Moreover, their choices will be limited because a bureaucracy will decide who receives resources, given the lack of free-market options.Under the DSA, these young folks will be judged by their color, gender, and race (pernicious diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI) rather than their character, experience, and merit.Do they want intellectual diversity or intellectual groupthink?Do these young adults want special favors and to be treated like children forever, or do they want to stamp their own imprint on the world through serious study and hard work?Do they want to be coerced into a minimalist lifestyle, or do they want to choose their own lifestyle?DSA folks have recently become concerned about fossil fuel energy prices. Yet for years, “progressives” have fought to get rid of internal combustion engines and arm-twist consumers into electric vehicles. They yearned for high fuel prices. Why the sudden flip-flop on energy?Does the younger generation understand that the DSA is anti-family?Socialists believe that the state – not the parents – should be in charge of the upbringing of children. Do young parents want secular moral relativists to manage the intellectual and spiritual development of their children?In their platform, DSA politicians claim that they want to raise taxes only on the wealthy, but it would also impact the middle class. Do young people understand that excessive regulatory and tax burdens have consequences?Folks will have less money to invest, save, or spend; government will become bloated and less efficient; and businesses will hesitate to expand and hire. Reduced productivity also means fewer taxes to fund social services. In other words, high taxes are counterproductive.Does the upcoming generation understand that the DSA’s goal is to dismantle America’s time-tested traditional private and public institutions and start over from scratch?However, their policies of centralized control defy common sense and the human drive to compete. Are youngsters aware that the socialist landscape for over a century has been littered with broken promises, brutality, criminality, and death?It is built upon a shaky foundation of contradictions, corruption, envy, and fraudulent victimology. If young people examine the truth about socialism, they will find that capitalist free enterprise is the best system devised to deliver opportunities to as many people as possible.By contrast, communism/socialism is the worst model ever devised to deliver the least amount of benefits to the populace.If our young people become aware of the devastating consequences of regressive socialism, will they still yield to the DSA siren song, or will the socialist favorability rating plummet? Perhaps the future will render an answer.

The Gateway Pundit was first to report about the Abdul El-Sayed staffer who quit the campaign over core disagreements with the Muslim Brotherhood-funded candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
Jordan Domingue, a top staffer who worked on Abdul El-SEl-Sayed’s campaigns, quit the Democrat’s U.S. Senate race and is now talking. What he describes is a candidate who has faked his way through public life, right down to the “physician” title. This is a lengthy article, but every American needs to understand, from an insider’s perspective, how dangerous this man would be if elected to the U.S. Senate.
Jordan Domingue and El-Sayed
In a post on X, Jordan Domingue outlines his decision to defect from Abdul’s campaign after working first on his failed gubernatorial campaign and again on his current Senate campaign.
“His foreign policy was driven by a desire to invoke what seemed like misplaced revenge.”
I protected Abdul for two years, I worked as his personal assistant/executive protection lead on his campaigns. I departed two jobs early from working abroad, moved to Michigan twice, and took paycuts averaging 50,000k.
I took his lovely wife to the hospital for visits when she was pregnant. His youngest daughter called me Mr. Jorjan. I painted him an original piece of artwork for his birthday.
I was happy to do and experience all of this. For his gubernatorial run he never mentioned foreign policy. During his senate run, his foreign policy was driven by a desire to invoke what seemed like misplaced revenge.
When I finally realized he didn’t actually care about civilians and peace, everything I had previously ignored or excused made it obvious to who he was and that I was on the wrong side.
Jordan Domingue’s profile on X reads more like that of a Republican: USMC Combat Veteran – International Security Professional – Bjj Brown Belt – Lockheed Liberal – Anti DSA – Democratic Field Organizer – Rugged Individual
Jordan Domingue
After leaving Abul’s campaign, Jordan Domingue became the founder of Democrats for Mike Rogers.
Domingue uses the Dems for Mike Rogers X account to expose the truth about El-Sayed’s support for Hezbollah and Hamas.

Abdul El-Sayed wants to…
Send our money overseas to UNRWA, whose employees participated in the October 7th terrorist attacks, raping and murdering Israeli women and children.
Raise taxes on working class Michiganders.
Although Jordan refused to talk about Abdul’s wife in past posts on X, this morning, he made the decision to reveal, not one, but several shocking new claims about the fake physician and his wife, who is a doctor that treats patients, but doesn’t accept Medicare, despite El-Sayed’s campaign being centered on a “Medicare for all” mantra.
Until Sunday, the tiny man from Michigan, who was relatively unknown until he defeated Haley Stevens in the primary election, kept his hijab-wearing wife hidden from view. After kicking Stevens out of his campaign, El-Sayed appeared at a Black church, where he was desperate to get votes, with his rarely seen wife.

Today, Jordan revealed a very different man that the one we have seen on the campaign trail. In his post on “X,” he claims El-Sayed was so abusive to his staff, that one of the staffers was actually taken to the hospital by their parents. He also appears to claim that El-Sayed was unkind to his wife, “blaming his wife for things he’s done” and “expressing interest in cheating on her.”
Here is his post on X:
I have refused to talk about Sarah. She was the last person within this orbit I communicated with after I departed from the campaign, and I do actually like her. Wives are off limits generally, and I know she is just being supportive, but she is lying here.
Between this and Abdul giving Instagram advice to young men on how to treat women, I have to say something I’ve held off on mostly.
Abdul’s mistreatment of staff was what first me woke up to him, and pulled my rose colored glasses off. In particular one person was emotionally/mentally abused to the point their parents had to check them into the hospital. I made an effort to check in on this person daily just to make sure they ate and actually slept. Most days they didn’t. This moved me to the area of concern of this person potentially committing self harm, to which I called DC general council (Max Glass) leadership and told him that he needed to tell Abdul to back off. This person would break down in tears often, and once in front of Abdul at a breakfast in Dearborn. To which he reacted detached and even annoyed.
This framing of this honest principled caretaker of a man is a lie. I have witnessed him blame his wife for things he’s done, express interest in cheating on her, abuse staff, lie to one group of voters and then the next, and so much more. Abdul would and did do just about anything to win.
My closing point still stands, as my opening project since I felt the duty to warn. Even if you take away the national security concerns. Abdul is a manufactured man, and if he wins (I expect benson to carry him over the line), there will be plenty of stories out of that senate office to confirm this.

Election Day is already off to a disastrous start in Kansas, where a polling location in Leavenworth County ran out of ballots Tuesday morning, leaving frustrated voters waiting more than an hour and reportedly forcing some to leave without casting their votes.
The stunning election administration failure unfolded at the Linwood Community Building in downtown Linwood, where voters arrived Tuesday morning expecting to participate in the crucial 2026 midterm elections.
Instead, they discovered that county election officials had failed to provide enough ballots for their precinct.
According to KCTV5’s Election Day report, the polling location was short of ballots for Kansas House District 38, creating long lines and delays as election workers scrambled to print and deliver additional ballots.
The polling site serves voters in two different Kansas House districts, District 38 and District 42. The shortage specifically affected voters requiring the District 38 ballot.
And the situation was serious enough that some voters were reportedly turned away.
KMBC 9 News reported that a caller said voters were turned away at the building’s doors because election workers did not have enough ballots.
According to KSHB 41 News, the Leavenworth County Election Office acknowledged that it had not ordered enough ballots.
County officials initially printed another 200 ballots for delivery to Linwood, approximately 45 minutes away, while working to prepare roughly 800 additional ballots.
Voters reportedly waited more than an hour as officials attempted to correct the problem.
The Leavenworth County Election Office publicly acknowledged the shortage, describing it as an administrative mistake involving the Linwood/Sherman H-38 ballot.
In a statement reported by KMBC, election officials apologized for the disruption and said they began working to correct the problem as soon as it was discovered.
But an apology doesn’t give voters back the time they lost standing in line.
And it certainly doesn’t guarantee that every voter who left the polling location will be able to return before polls close.
County officials urged anyone unable to vote because of the shortage to return to the Linwood Community Building or contact the county clerk’s office for assistance before the 7 p.m. deadline.
WATCH:

NEW: A Kansas polling place RAN OUT of ballots this morning after the county delivered only 10 PERCENT of the ballots needed
By 8am, voters were being TURNED AWAY. It took over an HOUR AND A HALF for more ballots to be delivered.
How does this even happen?! https://t.co/NI7g5oYsUF

The Supreme Court could deliver another blow to Colorado in a religious liberty case over the state’s exclusion of a Catholic church from a “universal” preschool program.
Justices heard oral arguments in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy on Tuesday.
“This is not a zero sum game. Letting families use universal preschool funding at Catholic schools won’t take away a single seat from the over 2,000 preschools already participating in the program,” argued the plaintiffs’ attorney Nicholas Reaves before the court.  “In fact, letting Catholic schools in will create more seats for everyone even for families who disagree with Catholic teachings.”
Colorado’s actions were at the center of religious freedom disputes before the high court in 2018, 2023, and earlier this year, losing each case.
In this case, the state’s program provides all children with up to 15 hours of tuition-free preschool, but it requires participating schools to admit LGBTQ-identifying children and the children of LGBTQ-identifying parents.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a liberal justice, became animated at several points during her questioning, asserting that the “bottom line” was “Your Catholic schools will reject the child merely because their parents are homosexual.”
Reaves disagreed.
“If the government is excluding someone from a public benefit solely on account of their religious exercise, that would trigger strict scrutiny,” Reaves said. “The government would have to come forward and say, ‘we have a really good reason for this.’ And we just don’t think they’ve done that in this case.”
Justice Brett Kavanaugh later addressed the Sotomayor question, asking, “You don’t categorically exclude children of those in same-sex marriages.”
Reaves replied, “Correct.”
Helen Norton, arguing for Colorado, argued that the universal pre-K program, referred to as UPK, does not discriminate on the basis of religion, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett pressed her on the issue.
“You agree, don’t you, that Colorado could not say that Catholic schools or Evangelical schools or Orthodox Jewish schools were excluded from participation in the UPK program,” Barrett asked.
“Absolutely. They’re welcome,” Norton replied.
Barrett followed, “Then explain what the differences between that and then choosing to impose a condition that you know that those schools will be unable to agree to.”
Norton replied, “There’s no evidence of any animus hostility in this case.”
Barrett replied, “I’m not assuming animus against religion. But if you know that the effect of choosing that requirement will push out those of a contrary belief, how is that different?”
Norton replied that the state even convened a working group of faith-based providers that included St. Mary to solicit their input and welcome their inclusion in the program.
“It’s absolutely true that states engage in religious discrimination and triggers trick scrutiny when they have the intent to disfavor religion, regardless of whether that intent is transparent or hidden. Here, there is zero evidence of Colorado’s intent.”
St. Mary’s Catholic Parish preschool in Littleton, Colorado, has argued its exclusion from the state’s universal preschool program violates the First Amendment’s protection against religious discrimination.
The plaintiffs in the case are two Catholic parishes, two Catholic parents, and the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver. The defendant is Lisa Roy, executive director of the Colorado Department of Early Childhood.
A district court and the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Colorado, citing the Supreme Court’s 1990 decision in Employment Division v. Smith that the state’s rules were neutral and applied to every preschool without distinction.
In the 1990 precedent, the Supreme Court allowed Oregon to exclude a Native American man from receiving unemployment benefits because he had consumed the hallucinogen peyote, which he claimed was part of his religious practice. Congress then passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, which requires strict scrutiny for laws restricting religious freedom.
Plaintiffs also note that two federal appeals courts and two state supreme courts have ruled differently from the 10th Circuit on the same question.
The state has argued in its response that the parish seeks “an exemption from this law to allow them to receive public funding while turning away preschoolers because of their, or their parents’ gender identity or sexual orientation.”
This could mark another setback for Colorado in religious freedom cases.
In March, the Supreme Court held that Colorado’s ban on talk therapy for minors regarding gender identity or sexual orientation violated the First Amendment because it imposed a viewpoint-based restriction on speech.
In 2023 and 2018, the high court held that Colorado could not compel a Christian website designer and a Christian baker, respectively, to provide specific creative services for same-sex weddings.
