Are There ANY Working Class People in the DSA?
Hot Air ^ | 25 August 2026 | David Strom

Posted on 08/25/2026 7:13:14 AM PDT by Rummyfan

It's almost too easy to take a swipe at the hypocrisy of the Democratic Socialists of America.

I'm not kidding about that. I seriously debated with myself about whether it is even worth it to write about how just about every DSA leader turns out to be a nepo-baby cosplaying as a working-class person before going home to their parent-purchased or subsidized luxury home.

f the DSA had remained an obscure political party with little relevance, I wouldn't have written about this phenomenon, but the line between the DSA and the Democratic Party is blurred. The DSA may see itself as distinct, but the Democrats, with few exceptions, want to merge (unofficially) with the DSA as its own partisans flee its leftward lurch.

In other words, who makes up the DSA matters because Democrats are trying to incorporate these people into their coalition, and it turns out the DSA is a better fit with Democrats than one would expect.

I'm not talking about ideological overlap, of which there is obviously quite a bit, but rather the demographic overlap that the DSA is trying to hide. The DSA wants to take over the "working class" slot that used to be filled by union members and appropriate it for themselves, but it turns out that they fit much more comfortably in with the upper-middle-class and upper-class Democrats who now dominate the party.

You’re just a middle class socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that you’ve got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)
You talk, talk, talk about the suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain, you dumb f___?

You have to be really rich to afford to be a Communist.

Just ask Bernie. He has 3 houses and a jet.

Mamdami parents own Uganda.

Reminds me of what someone once said about Gandhi: it costs a lot of money to keep him (Gandhi) in poverty.

That is the entire story of the Democrat party as well.

They see themselves as the "Vanguard" of the working class.

You know what that means? It means the officers. And that is the kindest meaning.

None of them are working class. No, not even the "minorities". Middle class at the lowest.

Angie Davis's dad was a business owner and her mom was a school teacher. They sent her to Germany to study.

My grandfather was a tow truck driver and grandma cleaned houses. The only way we went to Germany was to shoot Germans or defend them from the Russians.

No. That is just the point.

They will be the ones that end up on top.

It is the shock troops that will be put up against the wall and shot.

That is how it works.

Every time.
