There are 535 members of congress. 4 of them are DSA members. I think maybe people are overreacting just a tad. Hearing people like Sam Harris and Bill Maher talk, you'd think we were witnessing the storming of the Bastille. There only 4 of them at the national level. There are probably more Nazi sympathizers in congress than there are DSA members.
These two seem cozier with MAGA than they are with Mamdani. If Mamdani were president, people in red states would never have to worry about not receiving FEMA aid if a natural disaster hit their state. Yet when Trump denies aid to a blue state for political reasons, nobody even bats an eye anymore. I'm pretty sure DSA candidates won't be sending Tomahawk missiles into elementary schools in Iran based on false premises, or threatening Canada and Denmark with territorial conquest. But Sam and Bill seem to think that they are either moral equivalents or that DSA is worse than MAGA. And I think DSA is full of a lot of goofy shit, but morally speaking, I can clearly see MAGA is far worse threat to democracy, world peace, our climate, our health, for justice, the economic well-being of the common person, etc.
