What, Us Socialists? Dems Try To Deny What Their Party Is Fast Becoming
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 7/27/2018 | IBD Editorial Board

Political Parties: Democrats have been very busy lately trying to tell the public that theirs is not an extremist socialist party. But the public sees through the smoke screen. Just a third now see the Democratic Party as mainstream.

This month, the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll asked if the public believed that Democratic candidates for Congress were "in the mainstream," or "out of step."

Just 33% said they felt Democrats were mainstream, while 56% said they were out of step. That's a dramatic turnaround from just two years ago, when 48% said Democrats were mainstream and only 42% said they were out of step.

To be sure, the public is equally split on Republicans: 33% say they're mainstream, and 57% say they're out of step. But while Democrats have lost significant ground, Republicans are gaining — which is remarkable given the nearly 100% negative coverage the party gets.

The public, it seems, is finally picking up on something that we've been documenting in this space for years. That it is Democrats — not Republicans — who have been drifting to the political edge.

We took a close look at IBD/TIPP poll results back in 2013 and found that on issue after issue Democrats were out of touch with mainstream America.

A month ago they were bragging about being socialist.

Now the polling aint too great, so now it’s time to lie.

“Dems Try To Deny What Their Party Is Fast Becoming”

Fake news; the party has been socialist since “The Great Society” - it is just more openly exposed now as makers realize the takers are more clearly aligned against them (probably because hopeless young whites have joined covetous non-whites recently).

It has been the ComDem Party since 1984, since that years the CPUSA had a seat at the table of the Dem Party. They stopped running candidates and endorsed the Dems since then. A few years ago they began to deny that. But the wayback machine still shows it happened.

Does anyone remember back in 2008 when a reporter asked Joe Biden if Obama’s proposals might suggest the party was embracing Socialism? That scene could work well in a mid term election ad this fall.

The Demonicrats have been lying, murdering, socialist traitors for decades. It's just that now a bunch of them are starting to brag about it.

"The Democratic base went head over heels for socialist Bernie Sanders in 2016, to the point where he nearly stole the nomination from Hillary Clinton"

Actually, from the hacked e-mails, we know that Clinton stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders, not the other way around. Which further proves they are socialists!!!

It is going to be extra hard for them to deny being socialist since they and their university, public school and Hollywood allies have demonized the word capitalism.

I think Trump knows how to play the Stalinists against the Trotskyites pretty well. But Trump wont be there forever.

Soon after Hussein was selected, Newsweak put out a cover announcing that ‘we’re ALL socialists now’. They knew.

Well they can spout those kind of howling lies with perfect impunity!

Now that several successive generations of people have come out of the US school system, which systematically dummied them down and bred all, natural human curiosity and instinctive logic out of them.... No DNC voters know how to, or CARE to, question anything they’re told.

A big and growing part of their base really WANTS Socialism.
They’ve got a Civil War brewing. Enjoy the popcorn!

They’ve been socialist if not communist for decades.
