Power-mad Democratic Socialists of America members are plotting to use their growing clout after the blue tsunami to drown the party’s big fish — Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), The Post has learned.

On a members-only online discussion board, socialists laid out efforts from the national organization to flood members of Congress with thousands of letters and calls as they mount a public opinion campaign against the two establishment Democrats.

That’s despite both having backed DSA candidates — Jeffries endorsed Mayor Zohran Mamdani last year and Schumer gave a speech at a 2023 re-election fundraiser for City Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán in Astoria, where they were serving up $14 cocktails with names like “The Spirited Socialist.”

During the private discussion, one comrade already bragged that he phoned three representatives during his morning walk to work to tell them not to support Schumer and Jeffries.

“Both of these men are corporate shills who have enthusiastically cheered on a genocide. If we do nothing, what were these wins even for?” raged Syjil Ashraf, a leader on the DSA’s International Committee, in the discussion of the midterm results.

“Both are openly hostile to our goals and our organization,” added another member, from the DSA’s Richmond chapter.

Their endgame is to boot both men from Congress in 2028 and install socialist replacements — even if their bid to knock them from the party’s leadership posts comes up short in the meantime.

Schumer, as the Senate minority leader, could become majority leader in January now that the party has won control of the chamber — if he maintains his caucus’ backing. Jeffries, meanwhile, the current House minority leader, could claim the speaker’s gavel if Dems re-elect him as their top honcho.

“He’s sitting in a congressional seat that should belong to DSA,” one member from the New Orleans chapter said of Jeffries. “His national profile is in part keeping that from happening.
