The "Democratic Socialists" are not "communists"...

[kentuck]

In my opinion, we are seeing the influence of Bernie Sanders on the Democratic Party, many years after his run for the Presidency. He was the most well-known "Democratic Socialist" of our time. But he ran as a Democrat. He did very well in Colorado in his presidential run.

Last night, a "Democratic Socialist", Melat Kiros, upset the long-time incumbent Diana DeGette, to win the Democratic primary for Congress in Colorado.

Trump and the Republicans will rush to brand her as a "communist" but she might more accurately be called a "Bernie Sanders Democrat".

In my opinion, this might be a good way to turn the "communist" label against the Republicans. Because many Republicans respect Bernie Sanders and they do not consider him a "communist".

Just my opinion.

1. Does the GOP really think that Dems are that dumb? They obviously don't know any. ☮

2. No, they think the Republicans are that dumb.

They will go to the polls to vote against the "communists".

5. Well, I have to admit that sometimes I think they easily misled and dumb is putting it pretty mildly.

6. We know they are easily misled...

We see it in the White House every day. They should not be permitted to cross the street alone.

3. It's not the "socialism" that bothers me.

I highly respect Claire Valdez, for example, and I plan to support AOC against Schumer.

4. Socialism represents public power.

7. Exactly ☮

When you house is on fire, you want the fire department, when you have a burglar, you want the police, when you serve in the military, you want VA benefits, the list goes on and on....SS, Medicare, public education, unemployment insurance, public roads, bridges, postal service are all things that the people want and like....

8. During President Obama's term I had a co-worker

who told me with a straight face that he was a Communist and she only listens to Fox so-called News because they're the only ones telling the truth. You can't reason with a person like that so I didn't even try.

And he wasn't even a Democratic Socialist!
