What Does the DSA ACTUALLY Believe?

What does the Democratic Socialists of America actually believe — and why are DSA-backed candidates gaining power inside the Democratic Party?

In this highlight from The Brief, Jesse Arm of the Manhattan Institute explains the rise of the DSA, why socialism is polling more favorably among Democrats and younger voters, and how far-left candidates are challenging establishment Democrats from within. Arm argues that the DSA is not trying to start a third party because its strategy of pressuring and “cannibalizing” the Democratic Party is already working.
