How much further left will the Democrats go? They’re increasingly aligning themselves with ideologies historically associated with violence and oppression: Islam and socialism or communism. Their incorporation of Marxist thought and accommodation of the influences of radical Islam threaten the American values of individual liberty, free enterprise, and national security.
Communist leaders slaughtered over 100 million people in the 20th century through regimes like the Soviet Union, Maoist China, and North Vietnam. When Democrats advocate for socialism, wealth redistribution, and expanded government control, they echo the ideologies of those regimes. Figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez openly identify as “democratic socialists,” promoting policies such as Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and student debt forgiveness. Conservatives view these as steps toward a command economy, eroding capitalism. The Democrat (they’re not democratic) party’s 2020 platform emphasized “economic justice” and taxing the wealthy, which conservatives liken to Marxist class warfare.
When conservatives shine a light on the Democrats’ agenda, they invariably respond that “no Democrat is advocating for seizing the means of production or eliminating private property,” yet New York City residents are poised to elect a socialist and Islamist mayor who openly advocates for those very things. See for yourself here, here, and here. Zohran Mamdani is on the record saying, “We need a socialist New York because the market cannot be what determines the distribution of dignity.”
Bernie Sanders often cites the Nordic countries, which blend capitalism with strong social safety nets, as socialist success stories. Denmark’s former foreign minister disagrees with Sanders, stating that “Denmark is a market economy.”
Democrats claim that their goal is to address the inequalities exacerbated by globalization and automation. The danger lies in potential overreach: ballooning deficits; stifled innovation; and dependency on government, which weakens America’s economic edge against rivals like China.

The useless feckless turds on all sides will continue until the republic is a smoldering pile of ashes. They want to be the kings of nothing. Serve in heaven or rule in hell.
Sosialism AKA Communism and islam have the same basic goal total world government under the rule of one man.
Or izzit just one of those "enemy of my enemy" things. (Aren't they "enemies"?!?)
It gets cornfusing.. d;^)
An alliance of convenience.
