We saw the NYC mayor's race, so we already know this to be the case, but still

There is a non-zero chance that the national Dem Party, its donors & its media will decide to abandon/sabotage populist anti-establishment Dem nominees in the upcoming general election.

Many in this corporate faction would rather such nominees lose - even if that means Dems…

The thing is these are not populist democrats, they are flat out communists that are using the democratic party machine to essentially take over the party from within using their own infrastructure. They are like a parasite.

So the same thing that happened with Republicans and MAGA.

People are just tired of the status quo on both sides. It's hitting later for Democrats but it's hitting.

Every Trumpist thinks that anyone that isn't buying the con is a socialist.

It's called gaslighting. I tried cases against attorneys that utilized it. They always lost, but the judges and juries did a lot of head scratching trying to figure out what they were witnessing.

No Not like MAGA at all. MAGA holds conservative values. The kind of values the conservative GOP left behind. MAGA was created to remind them what we stand for. Communists do not hold the same values as Democrats.

MAGA definitely does not hold the same values as the Reagan conservative party I grew up with. Reagan was very much in favor of immigrants, for example.

I'll put this here instead of starting at new thread. A little info for our friends who say the DSA are not real socialists or communists and just want to continue the Demo traditions of FDR (ie, they are just progressive Ds)…

A partial transcript of Democratic Socialists of America co-chair Megan Romer's interview with Shannon Bream on Fox (emphasis added):

Quote:

---

SHANNON BREAM: We're going to put up on the screen a few of the things that are part of your platform. And I want to ask you, just give me sort of a true or false on these. Abolish the Senate?

ROMER: True.
BREAM: OK, replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them?
ROMER: Yep
BREAM: Abolish ICE?
ROMER: Absolutely.
BREAM: Abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the US illegally?
ROMER: As a long-term plan, yep.
BREAM: Defund the Pentagon?
ROMER: Absolutely.
BREAM: Abolish prisons, at least in large part?
ROMER: Yeah, again, as part of a long-term program, yeah?
BREAM: OK, so no prisons. Government or public ownership of most large corporations?
ROMER: Yeah, absolutely.

---

Ds need to distance themselves from this crazy sh*t.

---

I wonder why you don't post the source material for the above quotes? Either it's because you don't know and are just reposting something you read on social media without attribution (common among conservatives) or because you realize that when Fox News goes to interview someone with the DSA, they are intentionally going to pick someone with the wackiest views to attempt to discredit everyone who associates with that banner.

---

It was a Fox interview so there should not be any confusion. Unless you are challenging the accuracy of the transcript your complaint is pointless.

It's all right there on the DSA web site and is not just some crazy fringe person:

---

Would you like me to go through the Democratic and Republican Party positions and point out the crazy things they support or do those not count because they don't have the scary "socialist" word in the title?

Congressmen Tom Suozzi (NY-03) and Adam Gray (CA-13) - the only two Democrats to flip Trump-won districts in the 2024 cycle - put out The Promise To America Pledge in June. It has 6 principles:

Capitalism > Socialism
"We want safety, not lawlessness"
"responsible, not reckless" regarding government spending and balanced budgets
Patriotism (proud to be an American)
Effective Government
Common Purpose

This is deemed centrist. (folks might want to pause and really think about that for a second)

Only 10 of 204 D members of the House and 5 House candidates have signed it.

I'm doing a lot of head scratching trying to figure out what part of my post you think is gaslighting or what this has to do with your court room history. Let me know when your AI has finished analyzing why a majority of Americans dislike socialists.

---

A majority of Americans dislike socialism because they are satisfied with their healthcare plans and costs, believe that a college education should cost a quarter million dollars and that spending $10 trillion on forever war is "the cost of freedom".

That was a serious post. In a thread about the D party and its challenges. The fact that only 10 house members would publicly support such incredibly basic stuff is worthy of discussion. The R's have their own issues with MAGA vs Establishment vs Tea Party but this isn't that thread.

Mine was a serious post too. None of us are defined by what we don't sign.
