When the Left cannot win within the rules, it changes the rules—and when that fails, it changes the people who make them.
What binds the new Democratic Party to the new Democratic Socialists is a set of shared issues and values. That is, the radicalism of the Democrats in the age of Trump Derangement Syndrome—lawfare, de-balloting, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and calls to destroy the Electoral College, the nine-justice Supreme Court, and the filibuster—helped give birth to the socialists.
But the overriding commonality among those on the new Left is that if they do not get their way, they blame the “system.” Then they seek to change the rules, no matter how hallowed those laws and conventions may have been or how much they themselves benefited from them in the past.
When the Left lost the White House, Congress, and, for the most part, the Supreme Court, it began clamoring to change the system. For left-wing Democrats, that angst also translated into calls to bring in two new blue states, weaponize the FBI and DOJ, ally with social media to suppress the news, and spy on congressional representatives. All the socialists and communists did was up the ante in destroying norms by calling for the end of the presidency, the Senate, the border, the police, and the Pentagon.
By 2021, it was time to destroy the southern border and welcome in some 10 million illegal immigrants—without audits, English proficiency, health checks, or the ability to support themselves.
Had Kamala Harris been elected in 2024, we would have had another four years and another five million illegal aliens. And perhaps America would have gone from 50 million foreign-born residents to 60 million, or about 18 percent of the population.
In this regard, the Left sees California as our most liberal—and most ideal—state

DSA “Calvinball”
Normal people see politics as a game—a serious game with serious implications, but a game with rules for a free and fair chance for all.
Leftists and Muslims see politics as a revolution, and in a revolution there are no rules, more like a deadly game of musical chairs where the loser gets dhimmied or dies.
It has only been in those times in our history when non-revolutionary people have taken on the rules of the enemy (Jackson, Sherman, Patton, LeMay) that they have won significant victories and saved the republic.
The left has always played Calvin Ball.
Conservatives whine about this but keep getting their asses kicked. The Dems change the rules! The Dems change the rules! Yes, they do. And they win. Guess who else decided to change the rules now? Donald Trump with all the redistricting. Its so refreshing to have a president who acts and doesn't just wring his hands about how unfair the Dems are.
Well they have garnered and maintained the power to do so.
“What binds the new Democratic Party to the new Democratic Socialists is a set of shared issues and values.”
What they share is a belief that values are and should be transient and self-serving. The single permanent value of all Bolsheviks: take and hold power by any means available”. Democrats have always had a soft spot for slavery, and the strategic end-game of the DSA is exactly that.
Republicans have fixed values, mostly derived from religion or natural philosophy, even if some don’t know it. They don’t always live up to them, but the notion of matching the Democrats’ level of maleability offends their self-esteem.
The Dems are always on offense tactically; the R’s are perpetually on defense, but are too committed to being perceived as gentlemen. We don’t have to change our values; Grant didn’t win Civil War battles by being nice.
