The audience:
The Young Democratic Socialists is the on-campus section of the Democratic Socialists of America.
The Democratic Socialists of America founded the incredibly powerful Congressional Progressive Caucus with self described Socialist-Democrat, Bernie Sanders.
The Democratic Socialists of America, along with ACORN/SEIU and Citizen Action (now USAction) co-founded the New Party, and the Working Families Party, both of which Barack Obama pledged his loyalty to. Citizen Action was the organization Bob Creamer (Jan Schakowsky’s husband) was found guilty of embezzling from. Together, they all launched HCAN, the movement that spearheaded Obamacare.
The Democratic Socialists of America and Citizen Action were both founded by former members of the SDS/Weather Underground.
The Young Democratic Socialists represents the modern youth arm of America’s Congressional Progressive Caucus.
The Speaker, Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN:

Any of these groups that says, “I’m young, I’m Democratic, and I’m a socialist,” is okay with me. You know that’s no light thing to do—to actually say, I’m a socialist. You’ve got to know, actually, we are living in a time that’s going to dwarf the McCarthy era. It is going to dwarf the internment of World War II. We are right now in a time that is going to dwarf the era of Jim Crow and segregation.

They are coming. And they are coming after you. And they are going to be brutal and oppressive. They’ve already shown it. ... This is not rhetoric or hyperbole—this is real. ... This tea party so-called movement—a bowel-movement in my estimation—and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism...
Poor, ignorant woman being played for a foo’...
Even more ironic is the explicit Democrat support given to the causes she lists. Liberal icon Bobby Kennedy played no small part in Joe McCarthy’s efforts to investigate Communist infiltration in the U.S. government. Internment of the Japanese came under the original New Deal Democrat president Franklin Roosevelt. The era of Jim Crow laws was governed by southern Democrats like Alabama governor George Wallace and Mississippi senator Jim Eastland.
The liberals’ minds are closed - slammed shut. They cannot abide opinions other than their own - and they call this “diversity” - and they cannot accept facts that undermine their lightly-thought-out worldview.
Try telling her that Bull Connor was a staunch Democrat.
