Bernie Locks Up The Socialist Vote Before The Primary Even Starts •

The Democratic Socialists of America are preparing to launch a full campaign supporting Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, DSA memos show.

________

• The DSA may not support the Democratic nominee if someone other than Sanders wins the primary.

• One memo cited “developing propaganda” as a “primary task of the national DSA Bernie campaign.”

• Another memo stressed the “need to agitate for Sanders” among “rank-and-file union members.”

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have yet to publicly endorse Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, but for months they have been laying the groundwork to campaign for Sanders, and only Sanders, in the Democratic primary, planning documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show.

They would rather the Democrats lose in 2020, if in the process the socialists gain full control of the party. They probably see Trump winning anyway.

In 2024, Occasional Cortex becomes eligible to run.

Locking up the socialist vote used to be akin
to locking up the vote of bagpipe players in Harlem.
Nowadays, I’m not so sure.

Too bad we can’t do a reprise of the 1920
election Harding won while the Socialist
candidate, Eugene V. Debs, sat in jail.
Debs still managed to get almost four
percent of the vote.

“Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)”
Really?

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State forces you to give one to your neighbor, shoots the neighbor and forces you
to milk them both, giving all milk back to the state.
The State gives you a cup of sour milk.

MARXISM
You have two cows.
The government takes both and shoots you.

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you nothing.
They shoot your family and put you in a gulag.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, promises more free cows, lets you vote and gives you sour milk.

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots your wife and kids.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.

GUAMISM
You have two cows.
You never milk them, they just eat the grass, so you don’t have to mow the lawn.
You live on welfare and get food stamps, so you don’t need the milk. (H/T Fai Mao)

LBJ GREAT SOCIETISM
You have two cows.
The president realizes that neighbor wants their own cow, slaughters
your calf every year preventing you from having a cow to sell.
The president takes the slaughtered cow and turns it into hamburger,
has a cook-out so neighbor stops trying to own a cow themselves.
The neighbor spends next 50 years going to presidents cook out and
never gets his own cow. (H/T PCPOET7)

LAISSEZ-FAIRE CAPITALISM
You have two cows. So what? (H/T Celtic Conservative)

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

CONTEMPORARY WALL STREETISM
You have two cows.
You sell one, bundle the other with a goat, a mule,
and two dry cows.
You pile into the derivatives market, buy a Gulfstream
and when it all comes down around your ears...
You go to the government for a bailout.

Eff you, Sanders.

I suspect the DSA is willing to sacrifice the 2020 Presidential election by splitting the left-wing vote if they can gain traction within the Democratic Party for other elections in 2020 and beyond.

You’ve got the map planned out perfectly.

Unless it’s Bernie, they probably WANT Trump to win.

A moderate democrat winning and succeeding would be a disaster for them.

A moderate democrat is hard to find these days though.

but AOC is redefining moderate.

Last night I had a great dream. Bernie was in the dream spouting his communist nonsense at a little rally of his.

Right after Black Lives Matter came up to take away his microphone away, as Bernie was stepping down to go home,
somebody ran up and stuck a sock in his mouth and punched him so hard in the schnauzer that his glasses shattered and were dangling crooked off his nose.

What a wonderful dream!

LOL LOL!
Thought I’d be reading “somebody ran up and stuck a sock in his mouth and punched him so hard in the schnauzer”......
that Bernie swallowed the sock without chewing, and choked.
