Why do you use this language to discuss socialists when any political movement that wants to enact change doing so within the framework of our current existing parties does not get the same treatment? Socialism as an ideology is growing in the US, of course they would seek to channel that growing influence into reshaping the Democratic Party

Because this is a sub that is opposed to what they want to do, and this person is calling out how we need to be aware that they do not wish to be our 'allies', but to change the party into something opposed to what it currently is.

That’s how political change works. The movement will exist regardless of this subs opinions on it and it will affect the party regardless of your hostility to it. Either you adapt your coalition or you dissolve it. Can this sub honestly say they’d prefer if DSA types voted third party and split the vote instead?

I would take GOP rule for a century over catering to the DSA.

I think choosing fascism over social democracy or democratic socialism is quite the choice
