Actually, the mask isn’t off yet, and this fake news article is still trying to soft peddle the left.
These people are not “democratic socialists”.
Democratic Socialism is a largely defunct European model that held sway in much of Europe from the end of WW2 through the two thousands. Democratic Socialists were still nationalists.
The folks we have running for office now don’t believe in borders or national sovereignty. They are globalists as well as socialists.
Global Socialism was a term used interchangeably with Communism throughout the cold war. The two are still synonymous.
Or International Socialists, to differentiate them from National Socialists.
BULLSEYE!
They must constantly be referred to as Globalist Socialists and remind people that they want to spread the misery equally.
We can’t let them off the hook.
