BREAKING: House Adopts Rep. Crank’s Resolution to Condemn Socialism

September 1, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative Jeff Crank’s (CO-05) resolution to condemn socialism in all its forms and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), passed the U.S. House of Representatives with a vote of 220-192.

Socialism is one of the most destructive ideologies in world history, and the DSA have permeated elections across the country and have co-opted much of the Democratic party. While freedom-loving citizens across the country know that socialism is the first step to communism, and that every communist regime has brought only oppression, murder and starvation, the highest levels of Democrat leadership refuse to denounce DSA for fear of political retribution among their ranks.

America is seeing a troubling rise in support for socialism. This resolution condemns socialism in all its forms, as well as highlights the un-American tenets that DSA aspires to, including allowing noncitizens and incarcerated criminals to vote in American elections. It also reaffirms support for free, fair, and secure elections and the principle that American elections should be decided by American citizens.

“It is imperative as Members of Congress that we recommit ourselves to the Constitution and stand firm against this insidious push for socialism,” said Rep. Crank. “The vast majority of Democrats voted against my resolution to condemn socialism in all its forms. 10-15 years ago, a resolution like this would’ve passed the House unanimously. The DSA is a threat to the American values that make our nation great. This evening’s vote showed who stands for freedom, and others who stand with socialism.”

      Yes yes, I didn’t mean to imply exclusivity with the definite article. It is a standout, though, bigger than most cult towns and cultier than most big towns.

        Sorry if that came off all actually , I was just trying to be cheeky.

        It is a standout, though, bigger than most cult towns and cultier than most big towns.

        It does feel like an answer to the question “what if a megachurch had an airforce base?”

          It’s very cool and probably fine that the air force academy, where the people responsible for handling most of the US nuclear arsenal are trained, is under the control of an apocalyptic death cult
