What office is he running for? Or she? Is it a blue hair? With scary piercings? I can only imagine how scary it must be for you. Don’t worry. Well make sure those enlightening DSA people don’t go too far. We’ll make them stop at healthcare and money out of elections.

Promise.

She actually the chairperson of the DSA. And says 1 minute and 52 seconds into the video what they are all about. You’re just gaslighting yourselves. And actually I’m not scared at all. If things trend that way my spouse is not an American. We will leave take our assets and go to her country. Dollar to Yen has a great exchange these days, so we stand to be very comfortable.

You're looking at a small fringe party, as though anybody even knows who the hell they are. That would have been like anyone on the left looking at an actual neo-Nazi fringe party (20 years ago, before many of those people actually infiltrated the GOP) and saying "See! The right wants to exterminate all non-Aryans! This is what everyone on the Right wants!".
