There are numerous democratic socialists who are in Congress, you just aren't paying attention.
Run for office. There have been many spoilers from genuine grassroots campaigns. Don't want to do either? Keep coping and seething online.
Who are you talking about? AOC? If your definition of a democratic socialist is a left-leaning Democrat then it is thoroughly incompatible with mine, because I would require at a minimum that anybody classified as any kind of "socialist" be staunchly opposed to Capital.
I'm talking about Emmanuel Goldstein. Anyone I can possibly list will never meet your purity test.
The purity test of having the wherewithal to oppose the economic system killing the earth and everyone on it.
