Believe it or not, America was once almost a communist country—-William Bradford cut off that socialist crap way back in the 1600s. Everyone had their equal share in the colony, no matter how much work they did. So people said, "why should I work hard when the community will take care of me". Pretty soon, NOBODY did much work at all. Disaster ensued. Same thing will happen again if America goes down that road.
I wish some progressives could realize Hillary is not in charge of the Democrat Party anymore and that Joe Biden is not Hillary. Look change comes slow, Joe Biden has made movement left and his new policies reflect this. To be relevant and to protect the future of our Country we all must come together but be aware Moderates will not ever support a socialist Dem if the socialists act obtuse and to not meet this challenge. You will never get all the issues Sanders promoted however you will get some.
Bernie's a social democrat! Democratic socialists in history were Jawaharlal Nehru, Salvador Alllende, Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere and Hugo Chavez (as examples)!
The Communist Party is probably supporting Biden, it's my understanding over the years they've said vote Democratic in presidential elections.
Joe Biden is not the candidate for me i need to sit this one
Let's keep the pressure on Biden to follow the social justice as a clear demand from the working class and progressive Democrats. By now I think Biden understands that for him to have a smooth presidency he will need the support of every American struggling for decent wages, access to health care, public education and renewable energy implementation . Otherwise protests will start from day one (blue and red).
From today until November, Biden and the DNC won't have to make any concessions to the Left period to get the vast majority of our votes. The warm, fuzzy blanket of "harm reduction" will do it for them. This is what Clinton, and everyone who has said it since, meant when they said we have no place else to go.
You want people that care about the world, people, and the future to vote for a demented rapist who has spent his entire career fighting against the cause. That’s a laugh. It doesn’t matter how many scabs or who they are, the fight must go on. Voting for the Democratic Party now means being complicit in their crimes which are effectively the same policies as the Republicans’. It is better to send a message to force change than to capitulate so they think they don’t have to change. The future of or planet and our lives is a stake.
Great stuff – thanks Jaisal, Micah, and TRNN 🙂
Bernie Sanders is a Fool, and a disgrace for the cause. Just another "Spit-you-wet-Machine". Even the "movement" currently are only made up of "Spit-you-wet-Machines". People that grab a microphone and just talk-talk-talk. There's no future unless the movement stand up and make the sacrifices needed to overthrow the current ruling system. A system ruling both parties. They are just cheeks of the same A S S.
More gaslighting by the DNC. If the country wants Biden then they deserve Biden and they can work for Biden.
whats next? sit back. watch it all come crashing down. watch them pretend. watch you buy it and conform.
Mouthy Sanders has made himself a nuisance. Pretending that Trump is the most dangerous President in US history requires lying and a heck of a lot of ignorance or wanting to hide behind obvious denials. Trump must be OUTED, but this shouldn't be done using lies and serious exaggerations. He's unfitting for US leadership, but also were preceding US Presidents, starting plenty of decades ago, certainly since Nov. 1963.
Shill. Is this a jacobin?
Bernie should have told us he would pander to biden and obama BEFORE we sent him money and donated time. WE GOT NOTHING, and trump is going to eat biden for breakfast.
This week, maybe last week, is the first time that I've heard or read anything about the " Democratic Socialist Left ", so the DSA ( Democratic Socialists of America ), in the USA. I've believed for plenty of years now, esp. since early 2000s, that there were/are socialistic leaning Americans, such as Physicians for … , forgetting the exact title but for healthcare, I think single payer and universal kind, f.e., and, of course, all or many Americans of similar activism, but didn't hear or read of them calling themselves "socialistic". If done correctly, so with integrity, then it could be excellent for the USA. Tough "battle" ahead, for sure, due to the rotten and corrupting capitalism in the US, but real freedom, liberty, Justice, … of course requires the Will to work to well improve the society's administration.
