[FoxNews] The high-stakes battle between the left wing and the center-left establishment over the future of the Democratic Party takes the spotlight Tuesday in Florida, where a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) faces a more moderate incumbent Democrat who supports Israel.
After attention-grabbing left-wing victories this month by Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed and Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in crucial Democratic Senate nomination showdowns, and a major setback for the DSA with the defeat of DSA member Francesca Hong in Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary, the next faceoff in the party's civil war comes in Florida, which, along with Alaska and Wyoming, is holding primaries.
The Senate primaries in Alaska and Florida will set up crucial general election showdowns in the fight for control of the chamber. Floridians will pick the major party nominees in the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis, while longtime Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is fighting for political survival against a socialist candidate in a dramatically altered congressional district.
But the primary grabbing the most national attention is in Florida's 25th District, where DSA-endorsed Oliver Larkin is challenging the more moderate Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz in a key congressional swing district that's among roughly two dozen House seats that will determine whether Republicans hold onto their razor-thin majority in the midterm elections.
Update at 2:15 p.m EDT — another Democratic primary fight in the same vein. Randy Fine shares opponent Dan Bilzerian’s AI opus:
It is unheard of to share an opponents television commercial.
But I want you to watch it.
Every second.
Celebrating Hitler.
Having horns grow out of the heads of Jews.
Showing me violently assaulted.
And if this appeals to you, I don’t want your vote.
Host Kristen Welker said, “Do Democratic Socialists belong in the Democratic Party?”
Jeffries said, “Well, what I can say is that I do not support defunding the police. I do not support open borders. I do not support abolishing the Senate. We’re focused on actually solving problems that hardworking American taxpayers want us to solve, which is to lower the high cost of living in a situation where life is far too expensive in this country. That’s the democratic agenda. That’s what House Democrats are fighting to achieve.”
Welker said, “Do you think, though, that there is room in the Democratic Party, under the tent of the Democratic Party, for Democratic Socialists, is it big enough?”
Jeffries said, “Well, listen, I don’t support the DSA agenda, as has been articulated, by the DSA itself. Now you’re going to have individual members, who have been elected in Democratic primaries and if they are elected in the general in November, will be part of the House Democratic caucus. It’s going to be a broad caucus.”

The Mensheviks were part of a broad coalition until they were dead.

When socialism and communism trends, fascism ascends. Fascism is the natural counter to the two. We may not call the counter force fascism, it will probably be labeled as some form of nationalism, but whatever the name, the two are basically the same thing only separated by a few degrees.
Funny and interesting historical note, Nationalsozialistische - that rebrand, they coopted the word socialism to get the youth vote. Truth. Look it up before you slam me. In my research, California and Israel are way more socialist than the Nazis ever were.

It says it all that the old Donks hate the Americans on the right than fear the commies on the Left. They sold their souls for power a long time ago.
