Notably, some not insignificant members of the Democratic Party have stated that they “welcome”’these so-called socialists and communists. I’ll assume that they had these leanings before so it may turn out to be useful that they finally are coming out in the open.
No billionaires support or fund the national Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) organization directly.
As an explicitly anti-capitalist, membership-funded organization, its official platforms actively call to "tax the rich" and eliminate the billionaire class entirely. [1, 2, 3, 4]
However, individual DSA-backed politicians and local candidates have received financial backing from ultra-wealthy progressive megadonors and billionaire heirs. Because DSA members run for public office on the Democratic party ticket, they can accept outside campaign contributions or benefit from independent political action committees (PACs). [2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
A few notable ultra-wealthy donors who have funded groups supporting DSA-aligned candidates include: [10]
## 1. Liz Simons
* Who she is: A major progressive philanthropist and the billionaire heiress to the late hedge-fund titan Jim Simons.
* The DSA Connection: She contributed $250,000 to New Yorkers for Lower Costs, an independent PAC supporting prominent New York Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani. Her giving network has also funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into California justice reform PACs that actively backed Los Angeles DSA candidates. [8, 9, 11, 12]
## 2. Patty Quillin
* Who she is: A major donor to progressive causes and the wife of Netflix co-founder and billionaire Reed Hastings.
* The DSA Connection: Quillin is a principal funder of the Smart Justice California Action Fund. Public financial transparency records show this fund has injected heavy financial support into local elections to benefit DSA-endorsed city council and city attorney candidates. [8]
## 3. Tom Preston-Warner
* Who he is: The billionaire co-founder of the software development platform GitHub.
* The DSA Connection: He directly contributed to the primary independent expenditure groups weaponized to boost DSA candidate campaigns in New York City local elections. [9]
## Context on the Controversy
This dynamic has drawn sharp criticism from both sides of the aisle. Conservative outlets frequently point out the paradox of DSA candidates "railing against billionaires" while technically cashing checks from the ultra-wealthy. Meanwhile, strict far-left purists criticize these candidates for breaking from true socialist principles by engaging with billionaire-adjacent funding streams. [4, 5, 6]
They used the word "socialist" to attract working-class voters but ultimately preserved private property and formed tight alliances with wealthy industrialists to build a war economy.
Well, we can agree that there's nothing wrong in hating murderous war criminals. Enthusiastically killing men, woman and children and committing mass rape - I guess they saw that as an added bonus! But also filming it all on Go-pro cameras, and phoning their families using the cells they'd taken from those they'd butchered, to boast to their families of how many Jews they'd killed! ALL part of the assault of 'OCT'07'. Oh yes, and murdering hostages in cold blood, including babies. Yes, let's both hope the IDF sends many more Hamas criminals to Hell!
Even though the murderous butchers recorded their atrocities, even though there are many eye witnesses, even though there are hundreds of corpses, even though the survivors of the torture and kidnapping have testified to their abuse, some people will still deny the reality of October 7. Must be a combination of hate, willful ignorance, and stupidity. Just a guess.
It makes Hamas and their Leftist supporters scizhoprenic: they are proud of the pogrom, they want to revel in it's effusion of blood, and boast of it to the world; but almost simultaneously, they deny it, and protest that they are affronted that any such vile acts could be attributed to them! They adopt this tactic of saying two opposite things out of their mouths at the same time, partly because they don't want to alienate their useful idiot supporters, the denials are for them; but, on the other hand they can't suppress their glee at the blood they've spilled. This dissimulation is easy for them, since when it comes to folk who are not co-religionists, dissimulation is a legitimate tactic. We've seen this before in history, but now it's come round again!
Zionism: the right of Jews to live in their homeland of Israel. There are 22 Arab Muslim countries (and expanding) but only one Israel. None of those countries were Arab Muslim originally. Fuck you, ignorant Nazi.
Completely makes no sense. But then all you have are lies. Historical lies. Israel shall never know peace. This is just a blip. You will banished for your evil destruction once again.
Israel kills the most semites of anyone in history you devil worshipping baby eating rapist. Zionists are not Semitic. Only a piece of shit believes all means justify the ends. The ends being the devil worshipping baby eating rapists claim their devil chose them ti do this crap. A god doesn’t do this. A devil does. Fuck off.
Israel proves every conspiracy theory about their greed and evilness as true on a daily basis now. No more pretending they are victims. They are the terror of the world for thousands of years. This is not their first BBQ.
The terrorists you support are all journalists, UN workers, school teachers, doctors, and innocent civilians. The command centers, weapon storages and military tunnels under schools, hospitals and UN buildings in Gaza, Judea, Samaria and Lebanon were all built by extraterrestrial aliens. Fuck you, Nazi.
You’ve lied for centuries. Don’t you know you don’t need to hide behind your evil ways anymore. Don’t you know you can threaten the world with the Samson option? Like I said not your first BbQ as a terrorist chosen by the devil to threaten all of humanity. It’s in your god damn book you worship you fucking idiot.
You must be looking in the mirror. Defending yourself is not terrorism. Attacking people for 78 years is terrorism So fuck off devil worshipping baby eating child killing rapist genocider
Overall the Democrats were a positive force in the US during the 20th century; but the party I see today bears little resemblance to what it once was. The Democrats have come to a fork in the road. I can't help but feel that the road marked anti-semitism and hatred of Israel is the wrong road to take. At the very least it would be a volt face to their history. But, then again, these are extraordinary times - I can only hope that better voices, voices more in tune with US history and it's best values, will prevail. But, I'm not optimistic.
Zionists need to be eliminated. Calling Hamas terrorists while Israel and the IDF commit genocide and ethnic cleansing on lands that never were theirs to begin with with is the ultimate sane washing of indefensible war crimes and crimes against humanity. Israel continues to show why it should not continue to exist.
You have Chuck Schumer, Randy Fine who seems always hungry for more human sacrifice. And you are like a chipmunk, screeching about US citizens getting elected by US voters in the US elections for US political offices?
Daniel, I’m a moderate Democrat who despises socialism and communism. I know way too many Cubans, Venezuelans, and people from the former Soviet Union who lived through this misery.
The fact that Bernie Sanders and his movement are now mainstream in the Democratic Party is scary. It means Republicans will keep winning national elections. With Florida and Texas set to gain 7 electoral votes in 2030, the Dems are self destructing.

Not a word of truth to it.
Israel’s war criminals control 90% of Congress. So fuck off with your one person defending everyone else against the Zionists.
You can't taint all Jews with Zionism cry the cunts tainting all Jews with Zionism.
Zionism: the right of Jews to live in their homeland of Israel. There are 22 Arab Muslim countries (and expanding) but only one Israel. None of those countries were Arab Muslim originally. Fuck you, ignorant Nazi.
Zionists are not from Israel. Dumbfuck.

And who is Israel’s Zionists chanting death to today? It’s been somebody for 78 years.
