The DSAs leaders are so privileged they cant even see the insanity of their ideas

It’s no coincidence that all the prominent leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America turn out to be the pampered children of the upper class, drunk on delusions of their purity of heart.Gustavo Gordillo, who co-chairs the city DSA branch, lives in a million-dollar Brooklyn house that his dad bought (and had remodeled) for him and his brother; he also paid Gustavo’s rent for years while the Yale grad — well into his 30s — pretended to be an electrician while he worked his way up the DSA ladder.Gordillo’s parents — Peruvian immigrants who prospered in America! — own two Florida mansions, one on the rental market for $11,000 per month, but he’s never worked a real day in his life.Which explains his smug assertion that neighborhood groceries driven out of business by city-owned, tax-subsidized stores “shouldn’t have been in that business in the first place”: He has no idea how a small business owner struggles — it’s irrelevant to the DSA’s grandiose plans to remake society as a collectivist utopia.Of course, such is the DSA braintrust.Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s filmmaker mother Mira Nair modestly allows that her family is “privileged to have three homes,” well-appointed apartments in Manhattan and New Delhi, plus of course the villa in Kampala, Uganda.Cea Weaver, the chief of Mamdani’s Office to Protect Tenants, calls homeownership a “weapon of white supremacy”; her mom, Celia Applegate, a full professor at Vanderbilt University, owns a $1.6 million Nashville manse.DSA comrade City Councilman Chi Ossé is a nepo baby on both sides: His dad was a prominent music attorney in the hip-hop world, and his maternal grandfather was Grammy-winning songwriter Teddy Vann; college dropout Chi “worked” briefly as a promoter before winning his council seat at 23.
