Dem 2020 Candidate Booed for Denouncing Socialism

While addressing the California Democratic Party State Organizing Convention in San Francisco on Saturday night, former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper said something eminently sensible: “If we want to beat Donald Trump and achieve big progressive goals, socialism is not the answer.”

The audience interrupted his remarks with sustained boos that lasted for 30 seconds.

When Hickenlooper spoke against universal healthcare, the audience booed him again.

Yes, but this was only California!

The fight is real, people.

Since the California Democrats booed Mr. Hickenlooper for criticizing Socialism, you’d think they’d have cheered an actual Socialist to the rafters. However, Bernie Sanders didn’t seem to be at the meeting.

Apparently, Bernie Sanders has joined Joe Biden in staying out of the public eye as much as possible. That’s why the endless to-impeach-or-not-to-impeach brouhaha will continue to be center stage on the news, boring the public and dividing the Democrats for the foreseeable future.

Odd.... where Hickenlooper seems sane.

100 Megaton, 2000 meter airburst; problem solved.
That would also take out Richmond, Berkeley, Hayward, and San Mateo.
A little over 4 million casualties, that’s before radiation poisoning.

Cameltoe ain’t got a chance nation wide.

True.

AND if they are getting booed, that means a divided base.

VERY HARD to win with that.

I guess the flip side would be an R candidate saying “we gotta meet them halfway on abortion and transgender rights”

Except THAT’S insane.

Chickenpooper is a fool. He said socialism is bad while touting his progressive accomplishments. Nice try dillweed.

[Vinnie]

The ‘rats have dropped all pretext of ‘moderate, progressive’.
It’s full speed ahead, socialism.

Amazing how many people think it’s the answer. The slackers.

The folks that think they can cruise through life outlaying little effort and ol’ Uncle Sam will provide all their needs.
Someone else will fill the coffers.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I cannot wait for the Dem convention

That could be more entertaining than a Mel Brooks movie.

And just like Blazing Saddles, the Dim convention will insult everybody before the opening credits.

Pass the popcorn, please.

And that is why Trump won and that is why he will win again.

Yup. I give it one, maybe two more cycles until enough of us die and enough illegals and publik skrool stooudints start voting before there's a working majority that agrees with them.

[dp0622]

Agreed. I will likely miss the complete downfall.

51 but I eat terribly:)
