    > Health care is probably the issue that least differentiates the DSA from the Democratic Party. If you favor public ownership of the means of production or believe forming coalitions with communists is important, then joining the DSA makes a lot of sense. But deciding to be a democratic socialist because you care about universal health care is like ditching a Toyota for a Rolls-Royce because you want your car to have a steering wheel.

    I mean… all else being equal I would rather have a Rolls-Royce than a Toyota? Especially a Toyota that apparently doesn’t have a steering wheel?

    Might legitimately be a contender for worst analogy published ever.
