(112,204 posts)that the Democratic Party and the DSA are either interchangeable or allies. We may be able to work together on some policies and issues, but their platform and agenda are different from that of the Democratic Party.

Get out of the way crybabies. We have a country to save.

(25,471 posts)There are only about 50,000 of them, and we don't need their "overthrow capitalism" brand of politics linked to Biden.

(16,846 posts)Their endorsement would be the kids of death to Biden. Hell, I hope they endorse Trump.

(45,806 posts)always support DT no matter what he says or does, they're treating him like a cult leader! That seems to be how Bernie's supporters are treating Bernie. It's gotta be BS or nobody. Am I wrong?

(15,646 posts)suspect that, as in 2016, there are really far more like me by a long shot. With 3 plus years experience w/ the evil moron currently in the WH, I suspect even fewer no vote/3rd party votes will come from Bernie supporters in 2020 in part because there were fewer Bernies supporters overall this time around.

(10,433 posts)They don't have to endorse to vote. All we need are their votes.
Not endorsing means differing policy views. Unless they state otherwise, I'd guess that democratic socialists will still vote Biden over MF45

(45,806 posts)vote for him. I apologize.

TwilightZone
(25,471 posts)They didn't even want to endorse Bernie - he wasn't far enough left for them - but they decided he could be used to pursue their agenda of taking over the party.
This isn't teenagers looking for space. This is their usual shtick.

(4,608 posts)They're circulating articles by Glenn Greenwald and others about how younger minorities are the ones who don't vote and how telling Sanders voters they need to vote Democratic is the height of "white privilege."
They're working aggressively to lay the foundations for Bernie voters staying home in November.

(2,227 posts)1. They SURE aren't democrats
2. They aren't even socialists
3. They are PUTIN's (and thereby the turd's) tools to divide and conquer.
They think we are all idiots. If you aren't for Biden, then you ARE for the turd.
But that is just me.

(11,949 posts)Which is strongly capitalist with Social Democratic policies. They are the real deal Socialist. They say thru Democratic means. But they always do. Until the majority rejects them.
Government owning the means of production. Truly Venezuela style shit. Theres a reason there are only 50k of them.
Ive read their policy statements. They are not our friends. Never will be.
