They want to seize the means of party production.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s campaign guru admitted the DSA’s ultimate goal is to “take over” the Democratic Party — by running lefty darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for president.
Andrew Epstein, 38, recently told a Belgian newspaper that the Democratic Socialists of America want to build on victories from over the last year, such as Mamdani’s election and comrades Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez soon-to-be joining AOC in Congress.
“I think we want to take over the Democratic Party,” he told Dutch-language outlet De Tijd, according to a translation of the Tuesday article.
To achieve its aim, the DSA needs to run one of their own for president, with the clear choice being AOC, the far-left political strategist said.
“I cannot imagine any other politician who can mobilize the electorate needed to win the presidency,” Epstein was quoted as saying.
“You can only change a party by putting forward a president,” he said, adding, “Just look at how [President] Trump has transformed the Republicans.”
Epstein was the spokesperson and creative mind behind Mamdani’s Democratic mayoral primary campaign that saw the little-known state lawmaker trounce ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a stunning upset that made global headlines.
During the general election that followed, Epstein was moved out of the spotlight and replaced as campaign spokesperson.

The DSA will steal our money, use it to fatten their bank accounts, give it away to their cronies, foreigners and their pet leftist causes. Then, they’ll put you in jail for complaining about it.
We have too many Dems that just need to be exported out of the country. Not saying that all of them should be, but there are plenty.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says see it can be done and it’s easy and it’s media approved.
Yeah, but this time we will have learned our lesson. /spit
AOC doesn’t have an ice cubes chance in hell of ever being President...
“Gonna?” They already have. The DNC is nothing more than a pack of commie turds, been for years.
Implying that they “want/plan to” is a lie; intended to gull the still stupid into thinking that the Democratic party is not already communist.
Plan accordingly.
