1 Jeffries: Democratic Socialists of America Will Be Part of Our ‘Broad Caucus’

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.”

3 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.

4 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.
