Vance Just Issued A Warning to Republicans They Need to Hear About Dems’ Rising Tide of Socialism

Vice President JD Vance delivered a blunt message to his own party this week that deserves to be read carefully by every Republican strategist who thinks calling Abdul El-Sayed a communist is a sufficient substitute for an economic agenda: “If we don’t get this right, don’t blame young people for being sympathetic to socialism. We’ve got to blame ourselves.”

That’s the VP of the United States telling his own party that the DSA’s rise isn’t entirely the left’s fault — and he’s right to say it.

“Our response to socialism, which is a dangerous and destructive ideology that’s been tried in the past and failed, our response to that can’t be just to ignore the economic concerns that I think are feeding this rising interest in socialism,” Vance said. “You don’t stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the free market. You stop socialism by making people’s lives better.”
