The Democrat party has been freaking out about the Democratic Socialists of late – despite striking similarities between their policies – because while Democrats are happy to sweet talk voters into socialist ideas that signal maximum virtue, they don’t actually want to enact policies that would make blue-city budgets even more dire than they are.
In short, the party is panicking because the voters they radicalized are electing radicals…
So what better way to let progressives see what they’re voting for? Trot out a co-chair of the DSA with maybe two brain cells to rub together, ask her simple questions, and watch her implode.
To wit: co-chair Megan Romer was given a softball interview by New Yorker editor David Remnick, in which he asked Romer “What does ‘taxing the hell out of them’ mean?” in regards to a core DSA position of ‘taxing the rich.’
Romer stumbled hard…
Romer: Uh, yeah, you know, again, I don’t have like a solid…
Remnick: But shouldn’t you? If you’re the co-chair of the DSA, shouldn’t you be more specific than ‘taxing the hell’ out of something? What exactly do you mean?
Romer: Um, that’s a good question. “So again, it’s democracy, right? And we have to look at what we have to spend and what we need. We don’t want to depend on the existence of millionaires because that means people are still getting exploited.”
Watch:
DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer says “We believe in taxing the hell out of millionaires.”
She then struggles to explain what that actually means:
Remnick: “What does ‘taxing the hell out of them’ mean?”
Romer: “Yeah. You know, again, I don’t have, like, a solid…”

“They went to campus and had their heads filled with junk and have never been challenged on any of this for their entire life, by anyone,” said commentator Stephen Miller, adding “An entire generation of privileged idiots.”

Romer was then asked about open borders – and once again, cogent answers left the chat…
DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer is asked to explain the DSA position on ‘open borders.’
The slightest ask for explanation or scrutiny placed on these nonsensical positions results in this rhetorical gobbledygook:

She was also asked the very loaded question about whether DSA believes Israel ‘has a right to exist.’
And instead of something about how Palestinians also have a right to exist, asymmetric warfare, or Israel using the US to fight a proxy war in Iran based on decades of being ‘two weeks away’ from a nuke – Romer once again failed to formulate anything resembling a response one might expect from a DSA honcho (or not, nevermind).

Just wow…
I cannot get over the constant miming with her velociraptor claw.
