Jonathan Soto, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), is running for the New York State Assembly to represent the Bronx. He advocates for expanding tenant rights, public power, and democratizing control of NYC public schools. Soto's platform is anti-austerity and pro-tenant. The DSA has its own caucus and has been criticized for being defunded. New York currently has five socialists in the Assembly and three in the Senate, with Soto being highlighted as an example of extremism by some critics.
The MSM loves to talk about GOP “extremists.” I wish they would cover D extremism with the same fervor. NY has five socialists in the Assembly and three in the Senate. That’s extremism. Jonathan Soto Is a Bronx Socialist Running for State Assembly https://t.co/KbxmnjA6Ak
I wonder who eventually decided to defund DSA.
How close is the DSA with ANTIFA? Enough to have its own caucus. https://t.co/vVlxJggu2c
