There is a lot of talk about DSA candidates, as if left of crazy is something new.
There is not.
All Democrats have really done is create a label for the most visible faction of their party. They call them DSA. They call them democratic socialists. They call them progressives. They call them the activist wing.

The question is not whether DSA is different from Democrats.
The question is how different DSA is from Democrats.

And that is why Democrats want to put some distance between themselves and DSA.
They need you to believe there is a Democratic Party and then there is this weird little socialist cousin who wandered in from the basement.
But voters have watched the evolution.
The argument tonight is not that every Democrat is a DSA member. That's obviously not true.
