These people are defining socialism as roads, fire stations, and public education. That is not socialism and that is not what the DSA manifesto calls for. These are basic government services that almost every American supports.
"We have socialism already...the fire stations we call upon" Sure, if we ignore the fire engines, PPE, hoses, gated wyes, tankers, retardant, copters, chainsaws, and everything they use to save lives are created by private industry and only made possible through capitalist private sector supply chains. Let's not forget, while the rest of the Palisades burned to the ground because our socialist government leaders slashed the LAFD budget by $17M, Rick Caruso hired private firefighters to successfully save all of his assets in the Village. Fire departments aren't socialist...they operate in a MIXED ECONOMY. This is basic economics, folks. I can't tell if these socialists are filthy liars, or they're really just this stupid. Maybe it's both?

I don’t know what happened to Murphy but he a DSA now. The idea that Dems can win over Trump states with rent control and $25 minimum wage is batshit insane. There is little economic justification for this. Both parties are economically illiterate now.
Trump has been exposed as a corrupt, warmongering fraud. Democrats can win in Trump states and districts, but only if get behind big ideas to unrig the economy, like a $25 dollar minimum wage.

Median home prices in CT are over $400,000 while CT ranks 48th in building new housing homes per capita. CT ranks 6th to 8th for most expensive ranks. Dems are abandoning actual science and policy for DSA type talking points while their NIMBY policies help drive up CoL.
Today I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

Mainstream stream Dems already espousing and virtue signaling to DSA radicals. Zero economic credibility in the economic literature supporting this. Plenty of evidence of increasing the EITC and/tying local minimum wages to inflation.
We need a $25 minimum wage. If you work full time, you shouldn’t live in poverty conditions. In a nation with 1000 billionaires, don’t tell me we can’t afford to pay everyone a living wage. Don’t take it from me. Listen to the people who work and struggle to pay their bills.

Replying to @TheDemocrats
@TheDemocrats @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems And Dems will drive out the Liberals and moderates to appease the Far Left who can never be satisfied. The Left is literally eulogizing the downfall of the USSR while painting the USA as the bad guys.
“Mainstreaming Piker means that Democrats have to take seriously the notion that the Soviet Union were the good guys in the Cold War, that China and Russia are the good guys in the world today, and that America itself is — and has always been — an Evil Empire.”

Unfathomable.
Hasan Piker: “The fall of the USSR was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century.” This is who Democrats are embracing.

Even Leftists are catching onto Leftists. They eat each other alive. Even AOC is not good enough for many Leftists. Democrats catering and courting them is flat out crazy.

Leftists are literally waving the sickle and hammer flags. Unreal! I have many in my replies supporting Hamas and Hezbollah.

DSA Lefties upset they can't harass American Jews at synagogues and schools. Their entire agenda is to make America unsafe for Jews while doing nothing for Palestine. Is this the base that @TheDemocrats want to cater to? @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems @kenmartin73?
This vote is happening TODAY. Call your City Council representative and tell them to hold the line against this crackdown on our right to protest.

The DSA Lefties are upset since they are now barred from harassing American Jews at synagogues and schools. They do nothing for Palestine. And these DSA Lefties are coming after the Dem Party.
Julie Menin is trying to crack down on your right to protest and ramp up surveillance on New Yorkers. Don’t let the City Council erode our rights. Use this new tool to call your representatives and demand they say NO to Menin’s “buffer zone” bill. actionnetwork.org/call_campa…

Leftists showing up demanding freedom for "President" Maduro. Unreal! They wave the Palestinian flag while wanting to free a man who nullified an election and then proceeded to rape, kill, kidnap, torture unarmed Venezuelans & children. Venezuela and Palestine deserve better.
lmao listen to how enthusiastic the gringos at the faux pro-Maduro protest sound 😅

Not a single Venezuelan on the left. Leftists calling Maduro "president" is unreal. In more normal times Maria Machado would be a moderate Dem, but the Left called her a fascist while defending Maduro. Dems are letting this poison take over in the party.
Spot the difference between the pro-Maduro rally on the left and the anti-Maduro rally on the right lol

A bunch of American Jewish children were almost killed and it becoming risky for @TheDemocrats to condemn antisemitism. The crazies are taking over.
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed acknowledged on an internal campaign call that his lengthy statement after the Temple Israel attack this month was a “risk” that “really worried” his team. @maxpcohen has the details: punchbowl.news/article/campa…

This is a journalist and editor at a major progressive magazine. The Left embraces Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime. It is too much.
Replying to @JamieMetzl
Have you ever considered that hamas, hezbollah and the Iranian regime not only consist of human beings but that those human beings have not perpetrated ANY recent genocides?

Replying to @TheDemocrats
@TheDemocrats @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats Seem to forget about Ukraine. They could still be a powerful voice Putin called in bomb threats during our election. Been interfering in our elections. American democracy deserved to be protected. Dems could show strength.
I would like the U.S. not to perceive Ukraine as a country that merely asks for help. That is not the case. Ukraine is defending interests and values. Of course, the U.S. is right when it says it is farther from this war than Europe. That is understandable. But we see U.S. allies in the Middle East, and we see what – and who – threatens them. The war is not as far away as it may seem. We need to act as quickly as possible, and the whole world needs to wake up. It is no longer the case that someone can simply buy modern weapons or extract oil and gas and remain safe. Security comes from having the most advanced technologies and constantly developing them. If we don’t come up with a quick solution, if we don’t join forces with our allies leveraging the technology and expertise that have emerged from the war, if there is no combat-capable security alliance, then war will ensue. War comes when you are weak or alone. Enemies see when alliances are divided. From an interview with New York Post (3/5).

Is this who the @TheDemocrats want to embrace? The base that they want to cater to? The DSA also sided with Maduro (as did many Dems). Actual Cubans oppose the regime and tired of being oppressed. They want freedom. The Left is siding with the oppressors.
DSA is going to Cuba! 20 DSA members are joining the Nuestra America Convoy this March 21st. We’ll bring much-needed material aid, volunteer our labor in solidarity, and show the world that Cuba is under siege, but they are not alone.

Outside of his Nazi tattoo, boosting Nazis, liking Nazi podcasts, Platner keeps the lie up. He was NEVER sent into Iraq by Collins. He VOLUNTEERED after the war started. Is this who the @TheDemocrats really want? Or should they distance themselves from the crazies?
Here's Susan Collins expressing her support for a war that has killed hundreds, displaced millions, cost billions, and accomplished nothing, while sounding alarmingly open to a bloody ground invasion. 25 years since sending me and my friends to war, and she has learned nothing.

These are the people Leftists and many Dem politicians are siding with. Often using the same language and energy. It was never about Palestine. It is sad since Palestine deserves better. But you cannot support Palestine through supporting Hamas and Hezbollah.

This is the Left Wing base that the @TheDemocrats cater to. They are using Climate advocacy to harass Jews. The Left has been blocking synagogues, harassing college Jews, friendly with Hasan Piker, invite Hamas activist into their homes, and support the Nazi tattoo guy.
BREAKING: AIPAC staffers lock the door and call the cops on Chicago voters. Voters are looking for answers about the $20+ million AIPAC is funneling through dark money SuperPACs to try to buy Chicago elections.
