    The far left wing of the democrat party will not be appeased.

    They were dejected after 2015.

    Just today Hillary said Bernie shouldn't win.

    So I suspect they will continue to push for socialism.

    Democrats have been sucked into the socialist vacuum. There's no turning back for them now.

    We've seen it coming for years now, but the Dems are just waking up to see the beast they've created breaking out of its cage, and it's about to devour them.

    We told you to strangle that monstrosity in its crib, but you wouldn't listen.

    Get back to me the day After the 2020 Election.

    And we will see how the Dems do.

    The only people that I know that even mention "Socialism" are Republican Trolls on Twitter.

    Anybody can talk any BS that they want this early in the process.

    Some of the left's most popular politicians are complete socialists, Sander and AOC immediately come to mind. Many democrats have praised socialist countries like Cuba and Venezuela, now they want to put in place socialist policies in this country. The crazy thing is the media is backing those politicians and policies.

    Republicans call everything socialist until a republican is in favor of it. Reagan told us Medicare would turn us into commies, but good luck finding a republican who admits wanting to end it. Dems need to avoid that rabbit hole and focus on what policies they support.

    Big deal.

    Sanders has Zero Chance of getting the Presidential Nom.

    AOC is too young to run, and all of the "Progressives" will fall in line (unlike 2016 when they facilitated Trump's Election by "sitting it out" or wasting their vote on a 3rd Party).

    If Biden gets the Nom, all of the "Progressives" will support him.

    They will have no choice, unless they want Trump to PERMANENTLY Destroy America.

    There is nothing pragmatic about supporting Progressive Elites unless you are one of the top 1% yourself.

    Once they take control, all bets are off. If some bureaucrat thinks that you deserve medical care, you will receive it. If the same bureaucrats says that you don't, good luck getting legal pain killers that you can actually afford out of pocket.

    No kidding.

    Most serious Democrats couldn't care less about Socialism (nor do they advocate it).

    99% of the buzz that you hear about "Socialism" is from RW Twitter Trolls (living in the delusion that they can sow discord among Democrats).

    Very sad state of affairs among the RW Twitter Trolls.

    They totally underestimate the Intense Dislike that the Vast Majority of Americans have for Trump.

    Living in a Delusional fantasy as they troll the internet with Misguided, Misinformed, Pro-Trump Propaganda.:smh:

    Exactly.

    All of those Jill Stein Voters and Bernie Bros (who "sat it out") learned a powerful lesson in 2016 (when they facilitated Trump's Election).

    Clinton is a capitalist, all she thinks about is money when she's not thinking about power. Obama is a socialist at heart but is now living the life of a capitalist all while telling everyone capitalism is bad. Worse still, Obama is a Muslim socialist. You'll never convince me Obama doesn't belong to the religion of peace.

    It will not be the same program when implemented universally.

    Why not? Seems like the more voters who participate, the more incentive for it to be high quality

    They learned their party does not represent them.

    They even kept bernie supporters behind fences (that they say don't work)

    This was inevitable and entirely predictable.

    Democrats started heading down this road in the 1930s, and if it wasn't for the Cold War Henry Wallace and his "progressives" would have turned the party socialist a long time ago. Today's "progressives" are just finishing what Wallace and his comrades began.

    All of those Democrats in the crowd (reconquista socialist and Marxist) are who are in charge of California today.

    Yup, a number of Democrats back then were Soviet agents even, and a couple were executed for treason.

    Another Dem said at that conference that medicare for all wasn't viable, and AOC said he should get out of the race.
