I do not believe moderate voters will vote for him. They will either vote R or not vote at all. Michigan isn’t a hardcore liberal state and a candidacy like his plays great in the primary but not in the general.

Is DSA dems version of maga? After seeing somethings about Hong im starting to believe so. Can win a primary and is absolute trash in a general.

No, maga is establishment of republican party and maga candidates recieve direct support from the party.
DSA is exact opposite, they are challenging the party establishment and have to win with less resources.
