"On Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) argued that “democratic socialists are people who believe in a market economy, they believe in capitalism, but they believe in regulations as well.” And “we’re not going to be bullied by their characterization of maintaining a safety net for Americans and calling it Communism, no.”
Moore said, “Republicans are very disappointed that David Crowley won that election, because they had planned their entire campaign around characterizing Francesca Hong as a Communist, as a democratic — as a socialist and really conjuring up fear among people who have come to understand the extremes in those regimes as having been very harmful for them.”

"Francesca Hong ran a very great campaign, which is what I was referring to. She had boots on the ground, they talked to people, they talked to people about affordability, and they really latched onto the sentiment of most people who are just sick and tired of being sick and tired and are exhausted trying to negotiate more month than money.”

Apparently Gwen has no access to a dictionary or an internet search engine to look up the meaning of “Socialism”.
Yes.
Gwen has long been insane.
They just realized how bad the response to Hong was and now figure they need to try to sounde more reasonable.
Looks like their polling results ain’t so hot.
LOL, like saying College-Educated Women support traditional marriage.
You vill eat ze bugs and you vill like it.
Video tape is a wonderful tool.
They also believe in flat tires.
Lying sack of Shiite
Moore was mentored by DSA activist Dismas Becker, and her early career was backed by the New Party, the same DSA front group that got Obama started. She has consistently voted against resolutions condemning socialism and for resolutions supporting Cuba, “Palestine”, and China.
The safety net is really a straight jacket. Liars. That Marquette poll is a propaganda poll meant to help them fine tune their lies to mislead voters.
The latest rationalization the dhimmicraps are applying to this latest hard left tack.
One thing that makes a socialist a socialist, is their hatred of capitalism. That’s all these leftists do is lie…
Except they don’t believe in a market economy when it comes to labor or things they deem needs.
The muzz slimes invented taqqiya, but the leftists perfected it.
As smug pointed out on ruthless podcast, nearly 50% of dim primary voted for the crazy socialist they will not be happy with a “capitalist “ as their candidate 😂
Trojan horse strategy, but they opened up the horse before it was through the gate unlike in Virginia
As always it is about power and control, but their useful idiots are becoming a problem.
Primaries are not the general🤔
Who are you going to believe, me or your lying ears?
