Janeese Lewis George, an avowed socialist and proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, took a commanding lead in Washington, D.C.’s Democratic primary Tuesday night, all but guaranteeing she will be the next mayor of the nation’s capital. As radical as Lewis George’s socialist policies are, however, they should not be thought of as an aberration, as they might once have been. For socialists within the Democratic Party now control the mayor offices of New York, Chicago, and Seattle, and are poised to take over Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. The Democratic Party has become the party of socialism.
Lewis George’s record and policy proposals are cartoonishly bad. At a time when Washington’s economy is shrinking, its budget deficits growing, and its downtown office vacancy crisis worsening, Lewis George wants to create a new business activity tax. The levy is designed to reach law firms, lobbying shops, consulting firms, and other professional services partnerships that operate in Washington but avoid the city’s unincorporated business tax because their owners live outside the district. Lewis George claims the tax would raise $500 million, but its likelier effect would be to drive hundreds of successful firms out of the capital and across the Potomac into Virginia, further hollowing out Washington’s struggling commercial core.
In addition to weakening Washington’s economy, Lewis George proposes dismantling the city’s IMPACT education reforms, which are a bright spot in an otherwise dysfunctional government. IMPACT improved Washington’s schools by testing students, rewarding good teachers with bonuses, and removing bad ones from the classroom. Teachers unions hate the policy because it makes them accountable for doing their jobs effectively. With union support backing her campaign, Lewis George has agreed to end it.

The democommies have been the party of socialism since at least 1965.

There’s also an increase in registered Independents. And they are more unconventional in their habits than people realize: they can vote for a socialist canddiate for one position and MAGA person for another, on the same ballot.
What brings Right & Left together at the moment, is a general discontent with the Uniparty/Epstein Class and a desire for permanent divorce from endless foreign wars.
Straight up Marxism at this point.
“now”?
Been that way for awhile - the only difference is the increased shades of militancy.
Think: the MAHA RFK loyalists, or the Bernie Sanders types who went to Trump instead of Hillary in '16
Not just the Dems...
If Georgia elects Bottoms as Gov this will be another step up for socialists taking control of America.
Maybe people will wake up when they see how socialist regimes in New York and Seattle are failing miserably.
The democRATS (communists) should be recognized and treated appropriately as enemies of the state as they are out to destroy the country.
They left socialism in the dust. They are full blown commies with some fascists throw into the mix.
Actually since 1932, when they adopted the Socialist party platform of 1928 whole hog and implemented it as “the New Deal”:
1. “Nationalization of our natural resources, beginning with the coal mines and water sites, particularly at Boulder Dam and Muscle Shoals.” (Boulder Dam, renamed Hoover Dam, and Muscle Shoals are now both federal government projects.)
2. “A publicly owned giant power system under which the federal government shall cooperate with the states and municipalities in the distribution of electrical energy to the people at cost...” (Tennessee Valley Authority, et al. This is a generally accepted process across the country. Even the private utilities are highly regulated.)
3. “National ownership and democratic management of railroads and other means of transportation and communication.” (Railroad passenger service was completely nationalized through Amtrak. Some freight service was nationalized through Conrail. Private railroads are strictly regulated by the federal government. The FCC controls communications by telephone, telegraph, radio, television, and the internet.)
4. “An adequate national program for flood control, flood relief, reforestation, irrigation, and reclamation.” (Government expenditures for these purposes are currently tens of billions of dollars per year, including FEMA, Army Corps of Engineers, etc.)
5. “Immediate governmental relief of the unemployed by the extension of all public works and a program of long range planning of public works . . .” (In the 1930s, WPA and PWA were a direct counterpart; now, a wide variety of other programs are.) “All persons thus employed to be engaged at hours and wages fixed by bona-fide labor unions.” (The Davis-Bacon and Walsh-Healey Acts require contractors with government contracts to pay “prevailing wages,” generally interpreted as highest union wages.)
6. “Loans to states and municipalities without interest for the purpose of carrying on public works and the taking of such other measures as will lessen widespread misery.” (Federal grants in aid to states and local municipalities amount to billions of dollars a year. Federal highway funds and many other public works projects.)
7. “A system of unemployment insurance.” (Part of Social Security system, as well as the Federal Unemployment Tax.)
8. “The nation-wide extension of public employment agencies in cooperation with city federations of labor.” (U.S. Employment Service and affiliated state employment services administer a network of thousands of local employment offices.)
9. “A system of health and accident insurance and of old age pensions as well as unemployment insurance.” (Part of Social Security, Unemployment. Universal health insurance coming soon.)
10. “Shortening the workday” and “Securing every worker a rest period of no less than two days in each week.” (Legislated by Department of Labor’s Wages and Hours Laws that require overtime for working more than eight hours per day or forty hours per week.)
11. “Enacting of an adequate federal anti-child labor amendment.” (Child labor provisions under Fair Labor Standards Act.)
12. “Abolition of the brutal exploitation of convicts under the contract system and substitution of a cooperative organization of industries in penitentiaries and workshops for the benefit of convicts and their dependents.” (In the 1930’s, contract labor was outlawed. After that, rather than making products for private profit, inmates made license plates and other products for government or nonprofit agencies. The Justice System Improvement Act of 1979 loosened regulations to allow prisons to put people to work, provided they paid prevailing wages, consulted unions, and didn’t displace workers outside prisons.)
13. “Legislation aiming at the prevention of occupational diseases.” (OSHA)
14. “Increase of taxation on high income levels, of corporation taxes and inheritance taxes, the proceeds to be used for old age pensions and other forms of social insurance.” (In 1928, highest personal income tax rate, 25 percent; in 2009, 35 percent, current proposals take that above 40%; in 1928, corporate tax rate, 12 percent; in 2009, 35-39% percent with proposed increases; in 1928, top federal estate tax rate, 20 percent; in 2009, 48% with proposed increases.)
15. “Appropriation by taxation of the annual rental value of all land held for speculation.” (Not achieved in this form, but property taxes have risen drastically.)
Bull poop!
Since Carter, the demoncrats have been the party of communism...
True enough.
From socialism to communism in less than 100 years. Next up on-deck, full on fascism.
You might add the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to that list. Definitely socialized medicine despite how it eventually became a profit engine for the insurance industry.
They always have been, you’ve just not been paying attention to those around in the ‘60’s who pointed out (and gave names) of the commie trash going from “filthy Hippies” (as Reagan referred to them) to taking office in Congress.
This is no different to Brit going on for years importing pedos and then letting the ones who defended them ( like Starmer) take power.
Democrat Nazi Party (DNP)
Abraham Lincoln believes it’s been much longer.
