The top 10 neighbors for Democratic Socialists of America span magazines, comedians, actors, websites, and a podcast — with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest. Similarity scores run from 0.98 down to 0.95, a narrow band that signals a flat audience shape rather than any concentrated overlap.
Jacobin Magazine leads at 0.98, the only fellow left-press magazine in the top 10 and the one entity whose subcategory most directly mirrors DSA's political orientation. But the cluster around it is strikingly cross-kind. Justice Democrats (0.97) is the sole other Political Group in the top 10. The remaining eight neighbors are drawn from entertainment and media: Mara Wilson (0.97) and Natasha Lyonne (0.95) as Actors; Hannibal Buress (0.97), Jaboukie Young-White (0.97), and Aparna Nancherla (0.95) as Comedians; Criterion Channel (0.96) and Bust Magazine (0.96) as a streaming website and a magazine respectively; and Roxane Gay (0.96) as an Author. The subcategory tally across the top 10 reads: two Political Groups, two Actors, three Comedians, one Author, one Magazine, and one Website — a genuinely mixed composition with no single kind dominating.
What this shape reveals is that DSA's audience is defined less by proximity to other political organizations than by a consistent overlap with culturally engaged, media-literate audiences who also follow independent film, literary figures, and left-leaning comedy.
