众议院第三号共和党议员认为，迅速崛起为左翼核心人物的边缘民主党人正在向美国民众兜售虚假商品。
“不幸的是，出现了这样一群‘生发水推销员’，比如密歇根州联邦参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·赛义德和纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼，他们兜售的东西和皮诺曹被带到岛上时被骗的东西如出一辙——你可以不劳而获，结果所有人都会变成驴，”明尼苏达州联邦众议员、众议院多数党党鞭汤姆·埃默在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。
今年的初选季被极左翼激进势力主导，多州的建制派民主党人纷纷落马。
这一局势给共和党提供了攻击口实。共和党正为保住国会控制权苦战，并指出与美国民主社会主义者组织（DSA）有关联的候选人的立场比美国大多数民众所能接受的更为激进。
社会主义者的胜利表明民主党正滑向“共产主义的致命道路”，约翰逊警告

纽约州、科罗拉多州和密歇根州与DSA有关联的候选人已经击败了四名现任众议院民主党议员，有望于明年跻身众议院。
赛义德否认自己是民主社会主义者，但与大批认同该标签的团体和人物保持密切合作，他在密歇根州联邦参议员初选中击败了获得建制派支持的温和派候选人。
“有才华且努力的人确实可以在美国取得成功。他们反对这一点，因为你知道吗？在他们的理念里，无论能力如何、付出多少努力，每个人都应该拥有相同的东西。”埃默说，“有史以来，这种模式在世界其他任何地方都从未成功过。他们的那一套行不通。不幸的是，我们的很多年轻人被教育误导了。他们可能不得不亲身体会这一点。”
民主党拉拢“政治无家可归者”Z世代转向社会主义——反击正在形成

“这个国家面临的挑战我们不能忽视，对吗？民众正在为生计苦苦挣扎。这一代人面临的账单比以往任何一代人都多，因为他们每天都要应对手机、流媒体服务等各种开销。”埃默说。
他表示，年轻美国人正在为这些挑战感到“沮丧”，但左翼社会主义者提出的解决方案根本站不住脚。
访问DSA官网的访客会被邀请畅想一个基本没有账单的世界，一个“没有资本主义的未来”，在那里，“你尽己所能地工作，且不会超额劳作”。
这与卡尔·马克思那句描述共产主义乌托邦的名言如出一辙：“各尽所能，按需分配。”
但埃默指出，马克思的理论作为成功的政府体制几乎从未实现过。
资本主义的核心是激励机制。终止社会主义的蠢行是巨大的激励

“社会主义与民主毫无关系。”他说。
尽管地理上相距数百英里，但赛义德和曼达尼与DSA的联系以及在年轻左翼选民中的人气，使他们成为右翼眼中的头号反派。曼达尼是DSA成员。赛义德虽非成员，但得到了该组织知名人物的支持。

El-Sayed, Mamdani branded ‘hair tonic salesmen’ in brutal jab from top House Republican

Tom Emmer says the socialist left is pushing untenable solutions to young Americans facing economic pressure

The No. 3 House Republican is arguing that fringe Democrats who are fast becoming top figures on the left are selling Americans a false bill of goods.
“Unfortunately, you’ve got these hair-tonic salesmen like Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani that are selling them literally the same thing that Pinocchio was sold when he was taken to the island, that you’re going to get everything and of course everybody turns into a donkey,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital.
A far-left insurgency has gripped the primary election season this year, toppling establishment Democrats in multiple states across the country.
It’s provided fodder for Republicans, who are fighting an uphill battle to keep control of Congress and who are arguing that Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-linked candidates are further to the left than what most people in the country are comfortable with.
SOCIALIST VICTORIES SHOW DEMS’ DESCENT DOWN ‘DEADLY PATH OF COMMUNISM,’ JOHNSON WARNS

DSA-linked candidates in New York, Colorado and Michigan have already defeated four sitting House Democrats and will likely ascend to the House of Representatives next year.
El-Sayed, who has denied being a Democratic socialist but aligns closely with groups and people who do identify with the label, defeated an establishment-backed moderate in Michigan’s Senate primary.
“Somebody who’s talented and works hard can actually achieve in this country. They object to that, because you know what? Everybody should have the same in their book, regardless of their abilities, regardless of their effort,” Emmer said. “It’s never worked anywhere else in the world in history. Their way doesn’t work. Unfortunately, we got a lot of young people who have been done a disservice with the education. They may have to learn this firsthand.”
DEMOCRATS LURE ‘POLITICALLY HOMELESS’ GEN Z TOWARD SOCIALISM — A COUNTERATTACK IS TAKING SHAPE

“There are challenges in this country that we cannot ignore, right? People are struggling to make ends meet. This generation has more bills than any generation before them, because of their cell phones and the streaming services and all the things that they have that they have to deal with every day,” Emmer said.
He said younger Americans are feeling “frustration” at those challenges, but that the socialist left is pushing solutions that are untenable.
Visitors to the DSA website are asked to envision a world largely free of bills and a “future without capitalism,” where, “you work as much as you are able and no more than needed.”
It’s a similar tone to Karl Marx’s infamous phrase describing a communist utopia, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
But Emmer pointed out that Marx’s theories have rarely, if ever, played out as a successful government system.
CAPITALISM IS ABOUT INCENTIVES. STOPPING THE STUPIDITY OF SOCIALISM IS A BIG INCENTIVE

“There is nothing democratic about socialism,” he said.
And while they are hundreds of miles apart in geography, El-Sayed and Mamdani’s links to the DSA and popularity among young left-wing voters have made them top bogeymen for the right. Mamdani is a DSA member. El-Sayed is not, but has been backed by prominent figures in the organization.
