‘There Is Going to Be a War Within the Party. We Are Going to Lean Into It.’ (RAT fight)

Maybe you’ve heard the warning: The country is beset by a menace. A fringe conservative minority is holding Congress hostage, extracting radical policy concessions over the will of the majority. And it’s leading the nation to fiscal, environmental and moral ruin.

Maybe you haven’t heard this part: These dangerous conservatives are Democrats.

“I am talking about the radical conservatives in the Democratic Party,” said Saikat Chakrabarti. “That’s who we need to counter. It’s the same across any number of issues—pay-as-you-go, free college, “Medicare for all.” These are all enormously popular in the party, but they don’t pass because of the radical conservatives who are holding the party hostage.”

Not long ago, this would have been an outlier position even among American liberals. Today, it’s the organizing principle of a newly empowered segment of the Democratic Party, one with a foothold in the new Congress.

[Huskrrrr]

Woody Allen could not have written a better script.

[Alas Babylon!]

I LOL at your pic. Perfect meme for this thread!

This is a pure communist takeover of the Democratic party

It's the inevitable outcome of the destruction of the middle class, people in forever debt, and the huge disparity between the income potential of the ruling class and workers. Establishment Republicans and Democrats are pushing it along with their Fascist policies.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nope. It’s an ultra-Stalinist takeover of the Marxist-Stalinist Communist Demonrat Party.

He is wearing a T-shirt with his own picture on it?

Isn't that basic narcissism?

[TigersEye]

... radical conservatives in the Democratic Party ...

That's a hoot! There aren't even any radical conservatives in the Republican Party. This guy has been snorting the curry powder.

[bagster]

that’s nothing,the night he stood between the roman columns my neighbor knocked on my door to ask if I was OK (yelling)

Haha. I'd like to have seen that.

🤪

Bwaa-hah!

[Doogle]

I was humble...

[Libloather]

At least Beto made it. Looks like him sitting at the table.

For now, it is still unclear where Justice Democrats will fit in among the various groups that emerged in big numbers out of the 2016 election, including Democratic Socialists of America, Indivisible, Brand New Congress, Swing Left and the Sunrise Movement, just to name a few. Justice Democrats made a bet that a single giant felled would rewrite the political landscape, and so far they have been proven right.

The Green New Deal, a joint production of Justice Democrats and the Sunrise Movement, has 45 co-sponsors and is embraced by several Democrats running for president. Justice Democrats helped galvanize support, getting 150 people to sit in at Nancy Pelosi’s office just after the midterms.

Shahid, the group’s spokesman, predicted that, besides further agitation on the Green New Deal, the group would attempt to push for free college and an end to mass incarceration. And to force some support, they won’t be afraid to threaten primary challenges against anyone unwilling to sign on.

“We already are a pariah in Washington, D.C.,” he said proudly.

"including Democratic Socialists of America, Indivisible, Brand New Congress, Swing Left and the Sunrise Movement"

It's a bunch of Shining Path wanna-be communists.

They are falling for the same BS and will become the same pack of terrorist murderers shining Path did.

Somewhere up their rat line will be the connection to currently existing hard-core communist terrorists.

And the rest of the group appears to be two lesbians, an empty-nester soccer mom divorcee, a college student and a kid who lives under a bridge who came in to get warm.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Has this poor deluded child got nobody leftist enough to put on his t-shirt than himself? That’s kind of pitiful.

[FreedomForce]

For anyone wndering who is on his shirt, it’s this guy. Indian nationalist who was a Nazi and Imperial Japan supporter during WWII.

100 years later, it is still Bolsheviks vs. Mensheviks. Have at it you leftist assholes, may both sides have great luck and knocking each other off. I mean that literally.

[TigersEye]

So he’s the East Indian version of Che Guevara? Only a worse person?

[gogeo]

Great graphic.

[gogeo]

Let’s arm both sides.

A plan we can believe in.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They want to purge all non-communists from their party.
