    When listening to their debate, I didn’t know it was about the primaries and I really thought that Haley Stevens was an anti-Trump Republican or something. It is actually crazy that people call the Democrats ‘left’.

      She probably is an anti-Trump Republican. All the Republicans who can’t stomach Trump started moving to the Democratic Party. But they aren’t changing their beliefs, they are changing the party.

      Either the GOP gets healthy or dies. There is a need for a progressive party.

        The DSA seems to be doing a fine job at reforming the Democratic party little by little, but it’s pretty sad to see how they associate with Zionist ghouls like Sanders.

            Bernie Sanders rejects ceasefire calls, says Israel must defend itself against Hamas

            “I don’t know how you can have a ceasefire, a permanent ceasefire, with an organization like Hamas, which is dedicated to turmoil and chaos and destroying the State of Israel,” Sanders told CNN. “I think what the Arab countries in the region understand is that Hamas has got to go.”

            Bernie Sanders: Israel has a right to US protection

            “I am 100 percent pro-Israel in the sense of Israel’s right to exist,” Sanders said. “I lived in Israel, I have family in Israel, Israel has the right to live not only in peace and security, but to know that their very existence will be protected by the United States government.”

            He is of the opinion that the “war crimes” happening in Gaza are just because of Netanyahu, and not Israel itself. He only called what was happening in Gaza a fucking genocide TWO YEARS IN, and that’s only because public opinion shifted that way too much. He is a zionist cuck. I really don’t know why U.S. leftists love that repulsive pile of filth so much, but I guess I can’t be surprised after seeing the lengths to which they went for Graham Platner.

      It is actually crazy that people call the Democrats ‘left’.

      To quote from one of the classics:

      Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

      I’ve seen Democrats label Republicans “communist” for almost as long as I’ve seen Republicans accusing Democrats of the same. In a country of, by, and for fascists, all “Left” means is “I hate you”.
