In reply to the discussion: CBC pushes back on Slotkin's call for 'new leadership' among Democrats [View all]creeksneakers2
(8,083 posts)54. How can you deny it?
The people in NYC are calling themselves democratic socialists. Most people don't know what the difference is between a communist and a democratic socialist is. MAGAs especially don't.
Have you heard we've won a string of off year elections and many of them in red districts? Why? Because the right was very unmotivated and their turnouts were terrible. Trump and the Fascists have been desperate for something to motivate them. Mamdani and his followers just gave them an enormous gift.
MAGAs will come out of the woodwork to vote to stop communism. This will bump up their turnout by millions. And for what? Trump will veto anything from the democratic socialist agenda. All this harm is for absolutely nothing.

Spot on. Those advocating for "purity tests" would rather rule the ashes of our minority than win a majority.
