I'm more freaked out about the centrist Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries who is misrepresenting DSA candidates saying they want to abolish the police and abolish the US Senate.
While these are far-reach goals of the DSA (similar ones include also abolishing prisons and abolishing the Electoral College), none of these things are on the actual platforms of any DSA candidate that is running.
I anticipate anyone still watching FOX News has been thoroughly indoctrinated (except for hatewatchers and media watchdogs, who don't actually regard FOX as a source), and they're going to vote for Republicans regardless.
News bits about Democratic candidates are part of their two minutes of hate programming and also paints targets for viewers who are radicalized and interested in doing violence for the MAGA cause.
