Democratic Socialism Derangement Syndrome?

[JHan]

71. I read it too and laughed.

Common Dreams is fox news of the left.

I know you like it, you often share from it, and you are engaging, but this article is off base in its attacks.

They trip over themselves to falsely equivocate Democrats with Republicans.

They demonize left centre Democrats.

.. There are many Democrats who want an expansion of the social safety net, that doesn't make these Democrats socialists. So the premise of the piece is ridiculous - because AFAIK you have to hunt for a Democrat ideologically opposed to an expansion of the Social safety net. If a Democrat balks at the word socialist, it doesn't mean they don't want Universal Health Care. The author of this piece applied litmus tests, where anyone who doesn't see the world as they do, is an enemy of progress.

In conclusion the article is a hot mess.

And yeah, America invests too much in military spending .. tell us something new Common Dreams.
