36. the DSA is chocked full of Stalinist and Trotskyite scum, I so hope AOC starts to distance herself

Not ONE federal Democratic office holder is a socialist. I have ZERO clue why they keep trying to redefine the term. A democratic socialist wants to do away with capitalism and have the state assume control of basically all major means of production. Not even present-day Bernie advocates for this. AOC certainly does not. Old school 70's and 80's Bernie did. Maybe he is misrepresenting himself all this time and just pretending to be a social democrat. He certainly has despicable supporters and surrogates like the odious Nina Turner and the duplicitous David Sirota. I trust them as far as a monkey can fling poo.

This hipster, radical chic pose is neither honest nor wise, regardless of the Twitter street cred it garners. SOME of his 'movement' supporters (non DU) are indeed a clear and present danger to the entire country as they attempt to kneecap the only viable resistance to Trump and the multivariate demons he enables and raises up.

Some (obviously not referring to anyone on DU) of Sanders' core minions use democratic rhetoric with undemocratic intent. That is classic Kremlin style non-linear warfare and reflexive control.

democratic with a small d btw.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
