Democratic socialism is when the majority vote to steal your property.

They want them to sit down and shut up, in the big tent.

Democratic moderates are about as rare as moderate Muslims.

The “moderates” are “Fabian” socialists.

A moderate Democrat is one working for socialism on a slower pace, bit by bit.

Mr. Trump will make it very clear to voters in contested Congressional districts and Senate races that a vote for Democrats is a vote for open borders, the abolishment of effective Federal law enforcement, higher taxes, socialism, globalism and poverty. The Democrats will pay a huge price for the embrace of socialism.

There are no elected Democratic moderates. There are only Socialists and those who don’t admit it they are, a third of which are elected republicans.

No political organization in the recent history of the world has had a gift for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory quite like the Democratic Party.

They learned how to do that by observing the RINOs....I'm just glad they finally decided to go that route...

“Mr. Trump will make it very clear to voters in contested Congressional districts and Senate races that a vote for Democrats is a vote for open borders, the abolishment of effective Federal law enforcement, higher taxes, socialism, globalism and poverty.”

And gun seizures. That’s why I have zero compassion for democrats no matter where they stand on the democrat spectrum.

Democrats will pay a huge price for the embrace of socialism and for elevating Cortez as its poster girl.
Trump will make it very clear that a vote for Democrats is a vote for (A) open borders, (B) the abolishment of
effective Federal law enforcement, (C) higher taxes, (D) more socialism, (E) more globalism, and, (F)
Venezuelan-type poverty.

I like it.

PEOPLE WHO WANT SOCIALISM HERE SHOULD BE FORCED TO LIVE IN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY FOR A YEAR. They would quickly embrace the Capitalism that has made the USA the most successful country on Earth.

“Democratic moderates fear the “socialist left” will wreck the party”...…………….

Obviously it’s a bit late for that!

I waded through this crap to find this nugget:

“. . . there’s a widespread sense that the Democratic Party has some hidden agenda or obscure set of motives beneath its bland, corporate, coalition-building exterior, and that has been infinitely more damaging than any amount of socialist fervor. On the right, it has fueled the perception that Democrats are a pack of conspiratorial scolds who want to limit the freedoms of others — and so has driven conservatives to the polls. On the left, it has fueled the perception that the party is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs and its ilk — and so has driven progressive apathy. (If neither stereotype is fair, neither is entirely false.)”

I think the socialists and communists that lie about their beliefs fear those who tell the truth.

Yes the “Democrat moderates” held a meeting in a phone booth and decided they are scared shitless at the antics of Comrade A O C!

this guy could have helped written ‘Mein Kampf’, given that he so artfully and seamlessly mixes a bit of truth with a wagon-load of utter lies, thereby trying to prop up the credibility of the lies ...
