The DSA's Biggest Hater Likes One of Their Policies

The DSA's Biggest Hater Likes One of Their Policies

In the wake of the success among members of the Democratic Socialists of America, The Atlantic’s Jonathan Chait has turned in a series of articles that call the group anti-democratic, against the Democratic Party, and unnecessary or even a hindrance to accomplishing policy goals like universal health care. On the other hand, he thinks DSA member Zohran Mamdani is doing a pretty good job as mayor so far.


So what’s at the root of Chait’s problem with the DSA? And what policy position is he completely on board with?


Guest: Jonathan Chait, staff writer at The Atlantic.
