    You can find crazy folks for any and every political persuasion. The DSA as a political party is different than some random online user. Not to mention that it’s within the realm of reason that people pretend to be progressive and intentionally say crazy stuff.

    Yes, abolishing prisons.

    Can you point me to where the DSA supports this? I vaguely recall one instance of someone in the DSA who tweeted something to this effect years back but has since adopted a more reasonable position. I apologise that I can’t remember who that is. Maybe the same person you’re talking about.

    In any event, it’s not a platform the DSA as a whole supports. Do you understand the distinction? There are/were “pro life” Democrats but the Democratic party policy is pro choice. Does that make sense?
