Here’s the thing, socialists. 
Most people can read a history book. 
Some have fled left-wing hellholes to build a better life here, doing it the right way. 
They know these are failed policies. 
They recognize that the faces of this movement were snake oil salesmen, and that only misery, death, and totalitarianism await those foolish enough to follow these people. 
The Democratic Socialists of America’s co-chair was on C-Span’s Washington Journal recently and did not expect this caller, who decided to disembowel the organization’s entire reason for existing. 
DSA co-chair Ashik Siddique just had to sit there and take it, because this woman saw right through him (via Mediaite): 
A female immigrant called into C-SPAN on Tuesday and went off on Democratic Socialists of America co-chair Ashik Siddique for peddling a twisted anti-American ideology that she said only leads to “misery and death.” 
The woman named Denise told Siddique she believed Americans will reject the DSA playbook, despite recent primary victories by socialist candidates. 
“In the U.S. we’re not going to be fooled by people like you, we are not. 
There is a reason why everybody is trying to get here, this is the only place in the world where if you work hard, you can make it,” Denise said. 
“And that’s what I did, coming here with nothing and made it. 
So the idea of democratic socialism is trying to put lipstick on a pig  we’re not going to take it.” 
Denise was then asked where she moved to the U.S. from; she said Haiti. 
Siddique sat quietly as she ripped socialism some more. 
“Socialism is the worst thing that can exist in the world, and they know it,” she said. 
“It leads to misery and death. 
That’s what it is.” 
She added, “There’s a reason why we wanna come here, it’s because you can make it.” 
Nicely done, Denise. 
DSA wants to abolish the Senate. 
It's nonsense. 
I mean, we all know what their game plan is: destroy America from within. 
And they're using the Democrats as their vessel.
