Democratic socialist candidate welcomes COMMUNISTS to party during interview with PBS
The Daily Mail ^ | 03 Aug 2026 | ALEX HAMMER

Far-left Colorado House candidate Melat Kiros appeared to welcome communists to the Democratic Party over the weekend.

Speaking with PBS host Margaret Hoover on Friday, a smiling Kiros, 29, conceded: 'It's a big tent, right?'

The self-professed democratic socialist had just been asked whether conservatives framing hers and others' success as a resurgence of the ideology bothered her at all.

'Some members of the Democratic Party are proudly proclaiming themselves as capitalists,' Kiros pointed out.

She also clarified that she did not identify as a 'communist,' personally.

'At the end of the day, it’s up to the voters, right?' Kiros told Hoover.

'Until a self-proclaimed communist actually wins an election, then it’s just noise from the Republican Party.'

Trump billed communism as 'the most serious threat to our country' after Kiros and others scored big wins over more moderate liberals in June. Kiros scored an upset win over Colorado's most senior Congressmember, Diana DeGette.

Kiros told Hoover that none of her contemporaries - at least the successful ones - ran on a communism platform.

'There's no one actually winning with that,' Kiros said.

Communism is widely seen as the final, last, and most complete form of socialism, as envisioned by 19th-century German philosopher Karl Marx. It preaches a classless, stateless society ruled by the working class achieved through revolution, if necessary.

If she says she’s not a communist it must be true.

A capitalist who understands capitalism.
Man that one from Michigan goes over good.

Some people
Won’t be happy until 100% full take over of the govt of everyone and everything.
Nobody will receive any paycheck.
Govt will disperse food as they deem necessary.
Only those essential to the State will receive healthcare.
Everybody lives in high density housing and only about 500 sq feet at the most.
No sports
No recreation
No movies or music or art
Only activities deem essential will be permitted
Only the state can decide who performs which tasks and who receives education
But everyone except party leaders will be equal
100% zero tolerance for crime, 100% death penalty.
This could be the world and still some would say it’s still not fair.

“Kiros was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to a family of Tigrayan origin, and her parents immigrated to the United States when she was an infant.”

DSA is the marketing-friendly face of communism.

Commie countries build walls, iron curtains, create neutral zones, kill zones etc etc etc to STOP CITIZENS FROM ESCAPING.

Free countries build walls to keep people OUT who want to break in...

When the above is understood it explains that people who fall for commie bullsh*t are effing idiots.

Their platform sounds like a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the USA.

Here we have a description of the vast majority of the ‘tards that populate the socialist group O’fools:

”At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.”
~ P.J. O’Rourke

A key part of that article —

“According to her campaign website, Kiros was born ‘weeks before’ her father was picked in the United States’ Diversity Visa Lottery.”
