Democrats Make History, But Not in a Good Way
Democrats love "making history" almost as much as journalists love congratulating them for it.

Barack Obama Fathered Today’s Marxist Democrat Party
Barack Obama is no moderate and neither is his party.ANOTHER democratic socialist likely headed to Congress — says 9/11 was ‘inevitable’
In what seems like a never-ending trend of communists winning their primaries this election cycle, Colorado democratic socialist Melat Kiros is likely headed to Congress.
And Kiros’ recent comments about the tragic events of September 11 have Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck alarmed.
Kiros was asked in an interview with Colorado’s Next 9News about comments she had made regarding the Hamas terror attack on October 7 while appearing on Twitch streamer Hasan Piker’s show.
Kiros doubled down that it was “an inevitable consequence of apartheid, of occupation, decades of occupation.”
The reporter followed up that answer with a question about the most deadly attack on American soil.
“Do you believe that the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America were the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy?” the reporter asked.
“Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East. That forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response. And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to getting rid of those conditions that lead to violence,” Kiros replied.
“It’s the typical, you know, blame the rape victim that you get attacked from whatever we did,” Jason Buttrill tells Glenn.
“I don’t agree with blaming the victim or anything when it comes to anything like this,” he adds.
“Name the country that hasn’t made these kinds of mistakes,” Glenn agrees.
“We do nothing to deserve that kind of stuff ... the American people are those people that we think of as red, white, and blue and just want to do the right thing and help each other and help other countries,” he says.
“That’s what’s really in our heart. But that’s not what our government’s been doing,” he adds.

Democrats can’t outrun their socialist wing
“In New York, they don’t say ‘I love you,’ they say ‘NYPD suck my d**k’ and I think that’s beautiful.”
“A world without borders — just like a world without prisons or police — is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.”
Voters judge political parties by what they do, not by what they call themselves.
“Trick question — Israel doesn’t exist.”
Those are social media posts or reposts from Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate who won the 2026 Democratic primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District.
Many Democrats still insist the Democratic Socialists of America remain a fringe movement with little influence over the party. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), for example, recently promised that “common-sense Democrats will fight back” against the socialist agenda.
The evidence suggests otherwise.
The DSA’s influence no longer depends on how many members it elects to Congress. Its influence comes from how many of its priorities have become mainstream Democrat positions.
Approximately 250 DSA members held public office in 2025, with roughly 90% elected after 2019. Only two currently serve in Congress, but the movement’s real strength lies elsewhere: dozens of state legislators and nearly 150 local officials, including mayors, city council members, county commissioners, and school board members. Another 35 DSA-backed candidates advanced through this year's primaries and appear positioned to win office.
Increasingly, the DSA shapes the Democratic Party from the ground up.
Consider the issues. The DSA openly advocates sweeping changes on immigration, policing, transgender policy, censorship, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The DSA has long called for expanding the Supreme Court to reduce conservative influence. Democrat leaders have moved in the same direction. Former Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed Supreme Court reform, while Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) introduced legislation in 2024 to expand the court to 13 justices, joined by Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
On gender policy, the DSA advocates taxpayer-funded transgender procedures, including for minors, and has threatened hospitals that refuse to provide them.
Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin (D) argued that schools should be permitted to withhold information from parents when a child socially transitions at school. Whatever differences may exist around the edges, the underlying assumption is similar: Parents should not always have the final say.

Immigration presents another point of convergence.
The DSA opposes meaningful immigration enforcement and has labeled Immigration and Customs Enforcement itself an instrument of “state violence.” Democrat officials have likewise resisted federal immigration enforcement in a variety of ways.
Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) publicly aligned himself with anti-ICE activists, while New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) has limited state cooperation with federal immigration authorities and expanded state funding for immigrant legal defense.
The rhetoric differs. The practical effect often does not.
The same pattern appears on free speech.
After Elon Musk purchased Twitter and restored numerous previously restricted conservative accounts, the New York City DSA launched a dedicated “Stop Musk” campaign.
Democrat officials have repeatedly criticized Musk’s moderation policies and supported efforts, both here and abroad, to pressure X over the speech it permits.
Again, the methods differ. The destinations look remarkably similar.
The DSA also embraced the “Free Palestine” movement immediately after Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terrorist attack, issuing a statement calling for an end to the Israeli regime.
Many of the Democratic Party’s most prominent progressive members have likewise become leading voices in the pro-Palestinian movement. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) have all championed that cause, while several have also supported reducing police funding or sharply limiting law enforcement.
No, today's Democratic Party is not formally controlled by the DSA. But it increasingly advances many of the same priorities. That is why Democrat leaders spend so much energy insisting they are not socialists. They understand the label remains politically damaging.
The problem is that voters judge political parties by what they do, not by what they call themselves. When the Democratic Party repeatedly adopts positions first championed by the Democratic Socialists of America, the distinction becomes more difficult to see.
Democrats may not like the comparison. Their policies increasingly invite it.
In 2026, voters should recognize an uncomfortable political reality: A vote for today’s Democratic Party increasingly advances the agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America.
