The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) claim to advocate for the working class and minorities while distancing themselves from the Democratic Party. However, a recent membership survey indicates that DSA members are predominantly white (66%), with a majority being women and non-binary individuals (54%). Furthermore, many are highly educated (80% hold a bachelor's degree), urban dwellers (57%), and financially well-off (28% earn over $100,000 annually). The average age of a DSA member is around 33, making them younger than the average American (39).
The survey reveal that DSA members share similarities with those in the Democratic establishment. For example, prominent policies such as raising taxes on the wealthy (96% support) and granting citizenship to illegal immigrants (91% support) resonate strongly within the group. Despite claims of ideological differences, DSA members express views aligned with mainstream Democratic priorities, including immigration and socio-economic issues.
The DSA membership profile closely mirrors that of the Democratic Party elite they critique, suggesting a shared background and set of priorities, despite claims of representing a broader working-class narrative.
