The "Left" is in its own fight against the "Radical Left" for the soul of the Democratic Party.
Bernie, AOC, the new muslim Congresswomen are the face of this faction.
That said, I think you are correct about trusting (or not) Trump in his statement that "America will never be a socialist country."
His statement is not a "statement of fact" so much as it is a "war cry."
I don't know who was controlling the cameras when he made that statement during the SOTU (the networks I imagine), but they knew to cut immediately to Bernie and AOC for their facial expressions.
As an aside, I wonder what the hell Sen Ed Markey was thinking when he joined with AOC to introduce the "Green New Deal" resolution the other day. I'm not even sure what it means when a Senator joins with a Congressman to introduce a House Resolution. I am thinking that it is mostly a sign of moral support.
Here's an interesting snippet from Vox:
The resolution already has around 60 House co-sponsors and nine Senate co-sponsors, per the Washington Post’s Jeff Stein, but another goal of Ocasio-Cortez and climate organizers is to get support from 2020 Democrats.I think a Congressional Resolution as it is used here is a declaration of intent to produce a bill and gives supporters a public means of expressing their willingness to fight for such a bill.
As I have said elsewhere, it is surprising that Markey would participate in this endeavor given the radical nature of the Resolution.
You have it backwards. The run of the mill Democrat race baiters and social liberals are the minority and the AOC/Bernie Socio/fascists are the majority of the Democrat party.
