Advancing American Freedom President Tim Chapman told Fox News Digital "DSA Exposed" gives voters and lawmakers a closer look at the DSA’s policy agenda ahead of the midterms.

FIRST ON FOX: With the midterms less than two weeks away and after socialist-backed candidates notched sweeping primary victories, a conservative group is warning the far-left agenda will leave Americans worse off.

Advancing American Freedom (AAF) launched "DSA Exposed" on Wednesday. First obtained by Fox News Digital, the website critiques 12 Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) proposals, including universal healthcare, public ownership of major industries, abolishing the Senate and ICE and ending aid to Israel.

AAF argues the proposals would reshape American life — and not for the better. Its site examines their potential effects on healthcare, work, housing and the economy.

"In many ways, this election is being framed as a referendum on President Trump, but the Democrats deserve just as much scrutiny and more because of what motivates their actual policy preferences," AAF President Tim Chapman told Fox News Digital.

In a letter sent to congressional offices Wednesday outlining the new tool, Chapman called the DSA’s agenda "un-American extremism" and urged lawmakers to condemn its "antisemitic rhetoric."

"The DSA represents one of the greatest threats to Americans’ life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in perhaps American history," he wrote.

The website also lays out a visual timeline of socialist governments dating back to the 1900s. From the Soviet Union to present-day Cuba, the timeline shows whether each government remained in power or ultimately collapsed.

Chapman said the DSA’s biggest issue is its call for greater government involvement. He argued this could have the opposite effect on affordability than intended.

"They're going to put more bureaucrats in charge of the economy and this is the thing that's actually dragging down the economy," he said.

Socialism has become increasingly embedded in American politics after several candidates backed by the DSA prevailed in their Democratic primaries this year.

Some of the DSA’s most prominent endorsements include Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., New York Assemblywoman Claire Valdez, U.S. House candidate for New York Darializa Avila Chevalier and Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb.

The DSA’s upward momentum has left many Democrats questioning the future of the party and whether it could shift further to the left.

An October Fox News Poll found 32% of voters view socialism favorably, up five points from a year ago, while a March poll found 53% of voters under 30 favored moving away from capitalism toward socialism.

Chapman said "a pendulum swing" has left young Americans with "great frustration" over both parties’ handling of the economy.

"Right now, you're having populist politics on the right, and you're having populist on the left and both are massively failing when it comes to the economy," he said.

YOUNG SWING-STATE VOTERS COZY UP TO DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS, SAY PARTY ESTABLISHMENT MUST ‘LEARN’ FROM DSA WINS

He said both parties need to do better to prevent an "opening" for socialism and accused Democratic leaders of being hesitant to distance themselves from DSA-aligned policies for fear of losing their party’s base.

"The answer is not to give the authority to the democratic socialists on the left, because they'll actually drive it further into the hole," he said.

As voters head to the polls in November, Chapman hopes the website offers a "deep dive" into socialist platforms and how they stack up against Americans’ priorities.

"Even though they may be a minority of the party, they are the energy within the party," Chapman said. "They’re the beating heart of the movement and I think that the leadership of the party will probably kowtow to that base energy."
