Democratic Socialists of America Co-Chair Megan Romer has been making a lot of media appearances lately, saying things that DSA candidates running as Democrats can't say. Romer is sticking to the DSA charter, which doesn't seem to have been planned out very well. The New Yorker asked her what "We believe in taxing the hell out of millionaires" means. She didn't, you know, have like a solid answer to that question. When asked about the DSA's position on open borders, she answered, "It means reforming the system we have while we rethink the system, while we build this new one from the ground up, and then hopefully eventually flipping the switch." This level of thought isn't surprising from someone who says she got most of her news from Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.
We're not sure who is speaking for the Los Angeles chapter of the DSA here, but she's about as articulate. When asked by the host if someone raped and assaulted his daughter, who would track them down and bring them to justice if there were no police and no prisons, she decided she didn't want to talk about hypotheticals. What we need is better street lights. We can all agree on that.
Nithya Raman's partner at DSA LA says their goal is to completely abolish police & prisons. When asked what happens if a girl gets raped?

Her answer? "I want to talk about street lights."
These communists are insane. Crazy slovenly malcontents.pic.twitter.com/f9Uz2TVD4o
Ahhhh yes... the hypothetical "rape" that literally never happens in this country. Good thing its truly just a hypothetical!

Asserts hypothetical of no jails. Asked about result of no jails, says she doesn’t want to talk about hypotheticals. These people, man…

Find yourself something you love as much as DSA loves keeping criminals on the streets to make your life worse.

Can we do a study to determine how many rapes were avoided by a nearby streetlight?

The only reason someone could possible push this insanity is if they truly believe they will be one of the few in charge.

If she gets raped, do the same things apply? Asking for a friend

"I really want to avoid getting into these kind of hypotheticals."

Translation: stop asking me inconvenient questions.
Many times, accounts will type out what the people in the video are saying and when you listen to the video, it’s actually different from that. This is not one of those times.

How does anyone take these naive people seriously?

The reason such an “insane amount of money” needs to be spent on police and jails is because of CRIME. Put the criminals in jail and KEEP them there so the rest of us can live in peace and safety.

Because if she said it out loud, everyone would know how crazy they are.

Her answer is, the rapist should get counseling and the woman should understand that he is also a victim. They don’t dare say it.
That's exactly what she'd say if she were being honest. They'd try to find the root problems in society that led the man to become a rapist and address those.
