Van Hollen Dodges DSA Socialist Nod

Van Hollen Dodges DSA Socialist Nod

Sen. Chris Van Hollen refuses to slam the door on a Democratic Socialists of America endorsement while Trump delivers results.

Van Hollen’s careful hedge reveals the Democrat playbook in action: pretend moderation while keeping far-left radicals in the tent. The DSA pushes policies like nationalizing industries and open borders that clash with constitutional limits and voter rejection at the polls. Van Hollen knows this group backed candidates who cheered defunding police and inflating deficits, yet he stops short of rejection because those votes still count in Maryland primaries. His “not seeking it” line fools no one when the same party let AOC-style socialism reshape the platform for years. Facts show socialism’s track record in real governance: higher taxes, slower growth, and dependency that Trump’s agenda now dismantles.

This non-rejection exposes the elitist flip-flop where Democrats demand border security for themselves but embrace the ideology that fueled migrant surges and urban decay under Biden. Van Hollen plays both sides to keep campaign cash flowing without alienating the base that still clings to failed experiments.

Shut your suck hole, Van Hollen.

Satire. But you knew that.
