Famed progressive CNN pundit Van Jones is blasting the far left for pushing “crazy ideas” and “turds” — while warning the mainstream of the Democratic Party is too worn down to rein in the extremists.
“I’m a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I’m rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life,” Jones said on X over the weekend.
“But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive,” he said.
‘No police, no prisons, no borders’ is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive.
“These ideas are REGRESSIVE.
“Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice,” Jones said. “But we see you.
“Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent,” he said. “But we don’t need [party] poopers.

Based on history, I would say that it is tough to stop dedicated socialists once they start surging. They can be ruthless and would probably just start killing people who are in the way. Your average Progressive Democrat may want to tread lightly if they want to avoid trouble as a counter-revolutionary.
How is it that Van Jones never noticed that progressivism is poop and nothing but poop?
It’s like Stalin telling the Maoists that they’re taking things too far!
Better comparison would be Trotsky.
It’s off to a re-education camp for Van Jones if and when the commies take over. But in consideration of his past service, he might be given an extra blanket.
Screw you, Van Jones. You and Bill and Hillary and Valerie and Rahm and Bernardine and Susan other of your fellow travellers built the punch bowl.
All a ruse to convince people the Democrats aren’t really socialists.
Van Jones is a full-blooded communist.
What he says here is only a disguise.
It’s times like this that make me miss Rush all the more. He would have been rocking hard with gigglefits of laughter!
It’s all communism.
All of it.
These DSA types are too far left for Van Jones???
What is this world coming to???
Van Jones helped found the “Revolutionary Marxist Brigades” during the Rodney King riots. It seems his “relation to capital” (fat paycheck from CNN) has changed his tune. I doesn’t want DSA panicking the herd.
Over the decades the core of the Dem Party has sought to estrange, alienate and disaffect themselves et al from their voter base. All that is left now are the crazies.
I want to see the party implode or split and fractionate into smaller factions, so I want to encourage and endorse every single crazy idea they have. The crazier the better.
The concealed of who whey really are what they represent needs to be seen by the world.
👍 Van Jones hates America as much as these aholes do.
turd world is the realm of leftists
That is so gross and disgusting. So is he for years of his talks on TV.
Historical note on Van Jones:
“After witnessing the 1992 Rodney King riots in Los Angeles, he became deeply involved in radical politics and joined a Marxist-socialist group called Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM). During this period, which lasted roughly a decade, he openly described himself as a Communist.” —Politifact.
He said the vote across the US for Trump was a “whitelash.”
