The DNC Just Went Full DSA — and This Vote Proves

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) often makes headlines these days for being lifeless broke after Kamala Harris bled them dry during her 2024 presidential run. Ever since then, they have been doing nutty issues like leveraging their Washington, D.C., headquarters building to pay their payments and keep their heads above water. 

As their money woes increase under the hapless management of DNC Chair Ken Martin, the social gathering has grown reckless in its embrace of the far-left activists more and more calling the pictures. The social gathering that could not face placing out an post-mortem of its 2024 electoral failures is principally inviting a not-so-hostile takeover by the socialists.

This was made abundantly clear Saturday as the DNC met for its summer season assembly in Austin, Texas, to work through numerous business objects and decide the social gathering coverage positions as the November midterms inch nearer.

One of the issues the DNC was voting on was whether or not or not to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after their aspect took a few losses due their lack of ability to observe lawful instructions. The “abolish ICE” sentiment has been brewing ever since President Trump first bought into workplace and strengthened the nation’s immigration insurance policies.

On Saturday, the DNC voted to approve a nonbinding decision urging congressional Democrats to craft laws abolishing ICE. Here’s some of the wording from the decision:

“The DNC urges Democratic members of Congress to craft legislation abolishing ICE and enacting immigration reform that provides pathways to citizenship, protects workers, and ensures dignity for all impacted people.”

(In the true split-personality model of the DNC, they also voted to reform ICE. Someone please make it make sense.)

And here is a bit of the talk forward of the vote, as reported by the @RNCResearch account on X:

• Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna slanders law enforcement as “cruel and rogue” and calls to abolish ICE. Khanna cares more about prison unlawful aliens than he does about Americans.
• Far-Left Democrat Rep. Lloyd Doggett thinks embracing insurance policies like abolishing the police, prisons, and borders are a “path to victory.”
• Far-Left Democrat Rep. Analilia Mejia thinks abolishing police, prisons, and borders is “an indicator of the vibrancy and wellness of our Democratic party.”

Martin is taking the “have his cake and eat to” method with this post-vote remark: “Clearly, the one thing that unites Democrats, regardless of their position on reform versus abolish or whatever other ways to change what’s happening, is people believe that what ICE is doing right now — and CBP and the federal government — should stop. There has to be a better way.”

Immediately following the vote, the Republican National Committee (RNC) launched a assertion excoriating the DNC for making the Abolish ICE motion “a key pillar of their party’s platform.” Here’s RNC Chairman Joe Gruters:

“Democrats made it official: they care more about protecting violent illegal aliens than American families. While President Trump and Republicans are securing our border and standing with law enforcement, Democrats want to let dangerous illegal criminals run wild in our communities. This resolution is political suicide, and Democrats will pay for choosing open borders over public safety, border security, and backing the blue.”

Gruters could also be onto one thing with that “political suicide” half. The DNC can strive to break up the distinction by voting to both reform ICE and abolish it, but its growing socialist wing retains forcing these concepts that once appeared fringe proper into the social gathering mainstream anyway. 

At some level, Democrats could have to admit what the remaining of us already know: the DSA is right here and it isn’t going wherever.

Editor’s Note: Democrats are fanning the flames and raising the rhetoric by evaluating ICE to the Gestapo, fascists, and secret police.
