The Tea Party was pushing on an open door. Democrats and Republicans alike were enthusiastically in favor of slashing SS/Medicare, gutting education and housing development, privatizing prisons, and cutting taxes.

The DSA will have an uphill battle. Everything they're asking for in the US is Haram under the current socio-economic order.

You could certainly be right about that, It's fair to note that DSA's face an uphill battle.
