Commies are taking over the Democrat party!

You might think that was a charge leveled by some rightwing reactionary who somehow confused socialism with communism. Instead it was the morbid fear expressed by longtime liberal Jonathan Chait in Wednesday's Atlantic magazine, "There’s Nothing Democratic About These Socialists."

So panicked was Chait at the specter of communism taking over his beloved Democrat party that he did not just mention it in passing. In fact, the C-word was invoked eleven times in Chait's article in which he accuses the Democratic Socialists of America of being the parasitic pathway for injecting communism into its host party.

When the commies fully take over the Democrat party (sooner rather than later) poor Chait will still be slamming Trump. TDS is a hard habit to break.

They have been pretty open about it for decades.

[TexasFreeper2009]

many on the left believe you can just be a “little bit commie” and call it democratic socialism.

but that is like being a little bit pregnant.

[Fai Mao]

More like being slightly positive for rabies

The dimrat party welcomed and accepted obama.
A muslim communist foreigner.

Now they are worried about the image of their party?

[SunkenCiv]

He's a piece of DNC media trash, and will fall into line behind whomever wins the power struggle. Regardless, the Demagogic Party is just a collection of violent, rival street gangs.

[Texas resident]

They don’t yet have the courage to tell the world that they are full blown commies so they use words that deceive and seduce the uneducated to their way of thinking.

[Linda Tripp]

Rats Feasting on Themselves. What a Magnificent sight.

[Libloather]

I didn’t see the Maine nazi mentioned. He needs much more press coverage.

[Red6]

Next you’ll try to claim there are only two sexes. LOL

[KC_Conspirator]

Yeah, its been side wink and nod, playing footsie, and dogwhistles to radical leftists, 3rd worlders, and antisemites for decades. Now its a problem because part of the replacement theory plan is now replacing them? They did this to themselves, all the while creating the narrative lie that the right was doing this.

Translation: Some candidates are telling the truth about their Communist plans.

[The Duke]

I believe the answer is obvious. They should start a new political party. Maybe they could call it the “Just Us Party”, and the RINOs would join as well.

[A strike]

Barack Hussein Osama “A muslim communist foreigner.”
Damn straight !

[BradyLS]

“…You’ll EAT your Communists and LIKE it…!”

[Karliner]

Evil Maoist hippies,:

[Avalon Memories]

who somehow confused socialism with communism

No confusion. They are two sides of the same coin.

[doc maverick]

They pay them 30$ an hour to prance around like shriveled, hippy prunes.
I know several. The money is good!
Bunch of shitiots!

[gildafarrell]

Why should the liberal leftist publication panic? They helped the commies take over the RAT party.

[ProgressingAmerica]

This party does not want to be the party of Marxism, so it scares them.
