Democratic socialists, a far-left special interest group that espouses
ideas not far from communism that appears to be trying to take over the Democrat party, already has installed officials in several prominent positions: Mayoral offices in Seattle and New York for example.
They also won multiple Democrat party primaries for Congress.
And President Donald Trump is warning the leftists are not stopping
there.
But now even Democrats are starting to worry about the future of their
party, and what it will become.
One prominent personality expressing concern is Van Jones, a Democrat
activist whose profile rose abruptly during Barack Obama's time in the
White House.
He's released a statement with a warning:
"Reasonable Democrats are going to have to get off their couches, roll up their sleeves and start organizing real voters on the ground. We can no
longer rely only on TV ads, digital spend and endorsements. Just donating
from afar and complaining about the DSA won't cut it. The DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) can beat moderates in a growing number of blue strongholds. Why? Because the DSA has patiently built an army of on-the-
ground organizers u who go to meetings, help each other, study together
and THEN work to turn out voters on Election Day.
"That army grows every day u election or no election. Their investment in
real people grows (and compounds) with each election cycle. The DSA has a bigger army, every time, win or lose. But at the end of any election, all moderate Dems have for their efforts is a bunch of ads that nobody will
ever see again. That's not going to work anymore. If you are a Democrat
who believes in opportunity, dignity and democracy for all u but you
don't hate rich people, cops, free enterprise, the West, Israel and the
United States of America u I'm talking to you!"
It is party faithful Sen. John Fetterman D-Pa., who blamed his party for "becoming an orgy of socialism."
"I said months ago, I said the Democratic Party is becoming an orgy of socialism. These recent elections vindicate my description," he explained
to the New Yort Post.
The sudden alarmism follows multiple years of party officials embracing
and endorsing a definite form of extremism: Bernie Sanders and members of
the "Squad."
One commentary suggested there's now buyer's remorse.
"It seems that some are now worried about what conservatives have known
for a long time: the Democrat party is controlled by radicals," the
report said.
Their agenda points so far revolve around huge new taxes, special rights
and funding for minorities especially the sexual agenda espoused by the
LGBT community, government control of everything, especially children,
and permanent power.
To that effect they want illegal aliens to be able to vote and the
nation's borders essentially open.
Another raising concern is Rahm Emanuel. A Gateway Pundit report said
Emanuel, former chief of staff of the Obama White House and mayor of
Chicago, said the Democrat socialist wins recently don't help the party.
He explained: "I spent my life turning red districts blue. What the
socialist wing has decided to do is turn blue districts, dark bluea The
way you create a majority, either in the legislative body or win the presidency, is moving red areas to blue, not blue areas to cobalt blue or
to midnight blue. And that's all that happens."
He pointed out the obvious holes in the Democrat socialist thinking: "And
if you also look presidentially, seven states, 500,000 voters across
those states a have decided the last three presidents. None of those
states u Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, the industrial
Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania u they're not electing socialists."
Explaining the problem was Washington Examiner chief political
correspondent Byron York.
He said establishment Democrats are fretting more and more.
"The Democratic Socialists of America, who use the Democratic Party as a vehicle to get on to ballots, to get money, to get connections, to win
office, and then will try to destroy the Democratic Party," York said on
Fox News's The Ingraham Angle Friday.
He cited a statement for Jaime Harrison, ex-chief of the Democratic
National Committee, who said, "I say this with no ill will or animosity:
if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don't run for our
nomination. Don't use our resources. Don't rely on our volunteers. Don't
use our infrastructure. Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money,
and energy in your campaign."
WND previously had reported on the stunning demolition delivered to the Democrat Party by longtime activist James Carville.
Because of the incompatible ideologies present, he's advocating a
"schism" for the party.
"I actually do think it's time for Democrats to talk the S-word, schism.
I really do."
Editor's Note: Be aware of offensive language in comments:
His comments come on the heels of "Democratic socialists," those
politicians who are fully socialist and insist on pushing the always-
failed socialism onto Americans, winning Democrat primaries in New York.
He cited one, responding, "Lady, I ain't in the same party as you. I'm
sorry. I just not."
A report at the Gateway Pundit said he pointed out their departure from Democrat politics.
"But understand, these people do not like Democrats. Not only are they
not Democrats, they wish Democrats poorly," he said.
Any division in the Democrat party is only likely to raise the influence
of the opposition, the Republicans, as divided parties ordinarily do not coalesce suddenly for a single issue or candidate, letter the "other
guys" take the majority.
