This is old news and I remember debates on this board on that subject years ago............anyhow it still is a story that is not known by too many and it is good to see you post on it.

Also another story very similar along the lines of a liberal myth destroyed.

i am referring to the internment of the west coast japanese. Very,very few know the real truth about that.

You don't have a single clue what you're talking about, do you? You've just got your little list of breightbart approved talking points and you just go down the paper and post them in order, not having any idea what any of them actually mean.

Why are so damn many of you tRumplings so stupid?

President Trump should posthumously award Joe McCarthy a Presidential Medal of Freedom with distinction. There should also be a national holiday named after that great hero. You don't get the day off work, except none of your pay gets "re-distributed" and absolutely no taxes are taken out that day.
 
Why do you think the progressive dems abolished the Internal Securities Act of 1950?
Were there problems with some of the Act? Yes, but those could have been remedied.

that truly began the downfall of America as we had known it.
 
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is an organization of democratic socialist, social-democratic and labor-oriented members in the United States, whose ideological views range from democratic socialism to eco-socialism to libertarian socialism to communism. It is the largest socialist organization in the United States.
The DSA's roots are in the Socialist Party of America (SPA), whose most prominent leaders included Eugene V. Debs, Norman Thomas and Michael Harrington.[4] In 1973, Harrington, the leader of a minority faction that had opposed the SPA's rightward shift and transformation into the Social Democrats, USA (SDUSA) during the party's 1972 national convention, and formed the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC). (The other faction that split after that convention was the Socialist Party USA (SPUSA), which remains an independent democratic socialist political party.) The DSOC, in Harrington's words "the remnant of a remnant", soon became the largest democratic socialist group in the United States. In 1982, it merged with the New American Movement (NAM), a coalition of intellectuals with roots in the New Left movements of the 1960s and former members of socialist and communist parties of the Old Left.[5]
Initially, the organization consisted of approximately 5,000 ex-DSOC members and 1,000 ex-NAM members. Upon the founding of the DSA, Harrington and the socialist feminist author Barbara Ehrenreich were elected as co-chairs of the organization. The DSA does not run candidates on its own ballot line in elections, but instead "fights for reforms today that will weaken the power of corporations and increase the power of working people." The organization has at times endorsed Democratic electoral candidates—notably Walter Mondale, Jesse Jackson, John Kerry, Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders—and the Green Party candidate Ralph Nader.
The DSA is the largest socialist organization in the United States today.[6][7] As of September 2018, membership stood at 50,000[8] and the number of local chapters was 181.[9] As of December 2017, the median age of its membership was 33, compared to 68 in 2013.[10] In the 2017 election, 15 candidates who were members of the DSA were elected to office in 13 states, most notably Lee J. Carter in the Virginia House of Delegates, adding to the 20 members already holding elected office nationwide.[11] In November 2018, two DSA members, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, were elected to the House of Representatives as Democrats. Eleven were elected to state legislatures.[12]


Dorothy Ray Healey, "The Red Queen of Los Angeles", was an important link from the Old Left of the far-left organized labor oriented Young Workers League of the '30s to the CPUSA during the Cold War and then to the New Left of the Vietnam War protest era.

Formed in 1982 by the merger of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and the New American Movement (NAM),[13][14] the DSA is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization.[15] At its founding, it was said to consist of approximately 5,000 members from the DSOC, plus 1,000 from the NAM.[16]
Dorothy Ray Healey served as Vice Chair in 1982.[17]
The DSA inherited both Old Left and New Left heritage. The NAM was a successor to the disintegrated Students for a Democratic Society. The DSOC was founded in 1973 from a minority anti-Vietnam War caucus in the Socialist Party of America (SPA)—which had been renamed Social Democrats, USA (SDUSA). DSOC started with 840 members, of whom 2% had served on its national board, and approximately 200 of whom came from SDUSA or its predecessors (the Socialist Party–Social Democratic Federation, formerly part of the SPA) in 1973, when the SDUSA stated its membership at 1,800 according to a 1973 profile of Harrington.[18]

Earlier iteration of the DSA logo
The red rose is part of the official logo of the DSA,[19] having traditionally been a symbol of socialism[20] since the 1886 Haymarket Affair and the resulting May Day marches from the 19th century to the current day.[21] It was drawn from the logo of the DSOC, its precursor organization, and previously of the Socialist International, which shows a stylized fist clenching a red rose, the fist being substituted with a bi-racial handshake pertaining to the DSA's staunch anti-racism.[22][23]‹See TfM›[failed verification] The fist and rose logo had been originally designed by Didier Motchane and others for the new French Socialist Party founded in 1971[24] and was later shared by socialist and labor political organizations worldwide.
In electoral politics, the DSA was very strongly associated with Michael Harrington's position that "the left wing of realism is found today in the Democratic Party". In its early years, the DSA opposed Republican presidential candidates by giving critical support to Democratic Party nominees like Walter Mondale in 1984.[25] In 1988, the DSA enthusiastically supported Jesse Jackson's second presidential campaign.[26] Since 1995, the DSA's position on American electoral politics has been that "democratic socialists reject an either-or approach to electoral coalition building, focused solely on a new party or on realignment within the Democratic Party".[27] During the 1990s, the DSA gave the Clinton administration an overall rating of C-, "less than satisfactory".[28]
The DSA's elected leadership has often seen working within the Democratic Party as necessary rather than forming or support third parties. That said, the DSA is very critical of the corporate-funded Democratic Party leadership.[29] The organization has stated:[30]
Much of progressive, independent political action will continue to occur in Democratic Party primaries in support of candidates who represent a broad progressive coalition. In such instances, democratic socialists will support coalitional campaigns based on labor, women, people of color and other potentially anti-corporate elements. Electoral tactics are only a means for democratic socialists; the building of a powerful anti-corporate coalition is the end.
Electoral positions
In 2000, the DSA took no official position on the presidential election, with several prominent DSA members backing Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader while others supported Socialist Party USA candidate David McReynolds and others voting for Democratic nominee Al Gore.[31]
In 2004, the organization backed John Kerry after he won the Democratic nomination. In its official magazine, the DSA's Political Action Committee said that a defeat for Kerry would be taken as a defeat of the mainstream left, but that “On the other hand, a Kerry victory will let us press onward, with progressives aggressively pressuring an administration that owed its victory to democratic mobilization from below.”[32]
The only resolution on upcoming elections at the DSA's 2005 convention focused on Bernie Sanders's independent campaign for the Senate in Vermont.[33] The organization's 2007 convention in Atlanta featured record-breaking attendance and more participation by the organization's youth wing. Sanders gave the keynote address.[34]
In 2008, the DSA supported Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in his race against Republican candidate John McCain. In an article written in the March 24 edition of The Nation, DSA members Barbara Ehrenreich and Bill Fletcher Jr., along with Tom Hayden and Danny Glover, announced the formation of Progressives for Obama, [35] arguing that Obama was the most progressive viable Democratic presidential candidate since Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.[35]
Following Obama's election, many on the political right[36] began to allege that his administration's policies were "socialistic", a claim rejected by the DSA and the Obama administration alike. The claim led DSA National Director Frank Llewellyn to declare that "over the past 12 months, the Democratic Socialists of America has received more media attention than it has over the past 12 years".[37]
For the 2016 presidential election, the DSA endorsed Sanders as its favored presidential candidate. Sanders’ candidacy prompted a surge in DSA membership among young voters.[38] The DSA made it clear that Sanders' New Deal-inspired program did not fulfill the socialist aim of establishing social ownership of the economy, but considered his campaign to be a positive development in the context of contemporary American politics,[39] since he was a self-identified democratic socialist candidate as well as "a lifelong champion of the public programs and democratic rights that empower working class people".[40] The DSA ran the internally-focused #WeNeedBernie campaign to mobilize DSA supporters for Sanders.[40] After Sanders' defeat in the 2016 Democratic primaries, the DSA called for the defeat of Donald Trump, but did not officially endorse Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.[41]
2017 off-year election gains
In the United States elections of 2017, the DSA endorsed fifteen candidates for office, with the highest position gained being that of Lee J. Carter in the Virginia House of Delegates.[42] DSA members won 15 electoral offices in thirteen states, bringing the total to thirty-five (the DSA, having changed its electoral strategy at its national convention, had anticipated picking up approximately five seats): city council seats in Pleasant Hill, Iowa (Ross Grooters), Billings, Montana (Denise Joy), Knoxville, Tennessee (Seema Singh Perez), Duluth, Minnesota (Joel Sipress) and Somerville, Massachusetts (JT Scott and Ben Ewen-Campen); and the seat in the Virginia House of Delegates contested by Carter, among other offices.[43][44] 56% of the DSA members who ran in this election cycle won compared to the 20% previously in 2016.[44] These results encouraged dozens more DSA members to run for office in the 2018 midterm elections.[9]
2018 elections


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, representative from New York's 14th congressional district

Rashida Tlaib, representative from Michigan's 13th congressional district
In the 2018 midterm elections, the DSA had anticipated seeing the first DSA member in Congress and reaching 100 elected officials nationwide from its strategic down-ballot campaigns.[6] 42 formally endorsed people were running for offices at the federal, state and local levels in 20 states, including Florida, Hawaii, Kansas and Michigan; Maine's Zak Ringelstein, a Democrat, was its sole senatorial candidate.[45] Local chapters have endorsed 110 candidates.[46] Four female DSA members (Sara Innamorato, Summer Lee, Elizabeth Fiedler and Kristin Seale) won Democratic primary contests for seats in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, two of them defeating conservative male Democratic incumbents.[47][48][49][50] Additionally, Jade Bahr and Amelia Marquez won their primaries in Montana for the State House[51] and Jeremy Mele won his primary for the Maine House of Representatives.[52][53] In California, Jovanka Beckles won one of the top two spots in the primary and advanced to the general election for a State Assembly seat in the East Bay.[54]
On June 26, DSA member and endorsee Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won the Democratic primary against incumbent Representative Joseph Crowley in New York's 14th congressional district in a surprise upset, virtually guaranteeing her the congressional seat in the heavily Democratic district which spans parts of the Bronx and Queens.[55][56] Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, however, dismissed the win as "not to be viewed as something that stands for anything else"[57] and argued that it only represented change in one progressive district.[58] Conversely, head of the Democratic National Committee Tom Perez proclaimed her to be "the future of our party"[59] whereas the Trotskyist International Committee of the Fourth International critiqued her and the DSA as being a "left" cover for the "right-wing Democratic Party", particularly in regard to foreign policy.[60] Six weeks after Ocasio-Cortez's primary victory, DSA member and endorsee Rashida Tlaib won the Democratic primary in Michigan's 13th congressional district.[61] Both Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib went on to win their respective general elections to become members of Congress. Ultimately, about a dozen members (or non-members who were endorsed) won office in their state legislatures.[62] In the aggregate, the DSA had backed 40 winning candidates at the state, county and municipal levels.[12][63]
Ocasio-Cortez's victory and the subsequent publicity for the DSA led to more than 1,000 new members joining the organization the next day, approximately 35 times the daily average[64] and their largest ever one-day increase in membership.[65] These signups helped boost the organization to 42,000 members nationally in June 2018.[66] That number increased to 50,000 by September 1, 2018.[67]
DSA members elected to Congress in 2018 include Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and incumbent Danny K. Davis. DSA members elected to state legislatures in 2018 include Hawaii Representative Amy Perruso, New York Senator Julia Salazar, and Pennsylvania Representatives Fiedler, Innamorato, and Lee.[68]
2019 off-year election gains
See also: Chicago City Council Socialist Caucus
The 2019 Chicago aldermanic elections saw six DSA members elected to the 50-seat Chicago City Council: incumbent Carlos Ramirez-Rosa as well as newcomers Daniel La Spata, Jeanette Taylor, Byron Sigcho-Lopez, Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez, and Andre Vasquez.[69] In the 2019 off-year elections, DSA members made further gains by capturing over a half dozen city council seats across the country, such as Dean Preston becoming the first democratic socialist elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in forty years,[70] while Lee Carter won reelection in the Virginia House of Delegates.[71]
2020 elections
Presidential
The DSA endorsed Bernie Sanders after in an advisory poll 76% of the participating membership approved his endorsement[72], despite being objections from a part of the DSA membership concerning statements by Sanders on among others slavery reparations.[73] No other candidates were included in the poll. After Bernie Sanders dropped out in April 2020, the DSA explicitly did not endorse the presumptive nominee Joe Biden.[74]
Down-ballot
United States Congress

As of the August 5, 2020 elections, four nationally endorsed DSA candidates for Congress have won their primaries. Jamaal Bowman won his primary in the New York's 16th congressional district against 30 year incumbent Eliot Engel.[75] In the New York's 14th congressional district incumbent representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated her primary challenger Michelle Caruso-Cabrera by a landslide.[76] In Michigan's 13th congressional district incumbent representative Rashida Tlaib defeated her primary opponent Brenda Jones with over 60% of the vote.[77] Cori Bush defeated incumbent representative Lacy Clay in Missouri's 1st congressional district.[78] Additionally three other DSA members (although not nationally endorsed) will be on the general election ballot in November: Shahid Buttar in CA-12, Cathy Kunkel in WV-2 and Antonia Eliason in MS-1.[79][80][81]
In Tennessee, Marquita Bradshaw won the Democratic nomination for the 2020 Senate election.[82] Although not nationally endorsed, she was endorsed by the Memphis-Midsouth chapter of DSA.[83]
State legislatures
In Pennsylvania and New York the DSA made further gains in the state legislatures. In Pennsylvania Nikil Saval and Rick Krajewski won their primaries in Philadelphia for respectively state senate and state house.[84][85] The three incumbent DSA Pennsylvania state house members won their primaries with no or only nominal opposition.[a] In New York City the national DSA endorsed Jabari Brisport, Zohran Mamdani, Marcela Mitaynes, Phara Souffrant Forrest, and Julia Salazar for the state legislature[86], all of whom have won their primary elections.[87] Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas and Emily Gallagher, also DSA members (although not endorsed), both won their primary challenges against incumbents in the New York State Assembly.
In California the DSA endorsed Jackie Fielder for state senate, who came in second in the top-two primary with 33% of the votes [88] Other DSA members or candidates who are endorsed by a local chapter won their primaries for the state legislature in California, Maine, Kentucky and Montanahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Socialists_of_America#cite_note-90.
Local races
Nationally endorsed candidate Nithya Raman took a second place in the top-two primary for the Los Angeles city council district 4.[89] DSA member Janeese Lewis George won the Democratic primary for Washington, D.C. city council ward 4 against incumbent Brandon Todd.[90][91] Early in the 2020 election season candidates endorsed by local DSA chapters were elected to city councils in Sacramento, Burlington, Madison and Stoughton.[92][93][94][95].
Membership
In the early 1980s, the estimated membership of the DSOC was 5,000, but after its merger with the NAM[96] the membership of the organization grew to an estimated 7,000 in 1987.[97] In 2002, Fox News said there were 8,000 members in the DSA.[98]

Two founding Idahoan DSA members at a big tent event in late September 2018
Following the election of Donald Trump as President, the DSA experienced a rapid expansion of its paid membership. In 2017, the organization passed a resolution calling for the national office to provide the group's paid members with a copy of a financial report in non-convention years. A first such report covering the whole of 2017 and the first half of 2018 was published in August 2018.[99] As of June 2020, the organization claims over 70,000 members.[100]
Structure
The DSA is organized at the local level and works with labor unions, community organizations and campus activists on issues of common interest. Nationwide campaigns are coordinated by the organization's national office in New York City. As of 2017, the DSA website listed 85 local chapters, two statewide chapters, 29 Young Democratic Socialist chapters and 63 organizing committees.[101] As of April 2018, 181 chapters were extant.[9]
Governance of the DSA is by the group's National Political Committee (NPC), which since 2001 has been a 16-person body.[102] The DSA's constitution states that at least eight of the NPC's members shall be women and at least four members of "racial or national" minority groups.[103] A 17th vote is cast by the representative of the DSA's youth affiliate who elects one male and one female delegate who split the vote. The NPC meets four times a year.[104]
The NPC elects an inner committee of six, including five of its own members and one representative of the youth section, called the Steering Committee. At least two of these are constitutionally required to be women and at least one a "person of color", with the National Director and the Youth Section Organizer also participating as ex officio members. This Steering Committee meets bi-monthly, either in person or by conference call.[105]

The Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) is the official student section of the DSA. The YDSA chapters and members are encouraged to pursue and promote a democratic socialist political education and participate in social justice activism, often taking part in anti-war, labor and student-issue marches and rallies. The YDSA publishes a newsletter called The Red Letter[106] and a blog titled The Activist.[107] The organization's national activities revolve around supporting the DSA campaigns and initiatives and organizing various student conferences, usually held in New York City. The YDSA is a full member of the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY).[108]

I voted no..and McCarthy was an idiot. His ending was just and fitting...and he is no more a patriot than Ollie North.

Yes, the Soviets had an active agitprop operation going on in the US, just as their successors do now--but McCarthy's bid to destroy our freedoms in the name of saving them...was ill-conceived from the start. He hurt a lot of people..destroyed a lot of lives..and...the backlash to his witchhunt empowered the very left you love to hate.

What someone believes should never be a crime. Being a Communist is no crime..no more than being a NAZI is. Or a wacked-out tea party retread.....or a libertarian/anarchist.
McCarthy hurt America...he didn't help it.

If someone truly cares, they can read the intercepts, etc. They tell you he was totally right. The left went out of their way to make him seem crazy, just as they do Trump, come to think of it. And history proved him right.

No, they were empowered when the Dems voted out the Internal Security Act.
