Kinda obvious, no? She's DNC. If she was a Socialist she would have been purged from the Party before she got to her position.

When your party is desperate to break momentum you just gotta throw everything and see what will stick.

I think this news is for the conservatives the democrats are trying to represent.

Blue conservatives...

Given that his wife is running for president and 90% of Americans are pro capitalism, it would be awkward if he admitted otherwise.

Would be based if so, but no Democrat candidate for President will ever be a Socialist.

[–] yeahiknow3@lemmings.world 1 points 2 months ago

Right, not if they want to win the presidency.

Nah, it could happen.

But probably not this decade.

Especially not while the GOP are pants on head crazy and everybody more moderate than Genghis Khan is voting Democrat out of rational fear.

So, never. The US isn't a democracy, it's kabuki theatre.

Whew! What a relief. I thought that contrary to her public and private positions ever since she was the "top cop" in California, and was recruited by the Hillary for America campaign to shore up their diversity quota that she was actually a secret communist. Fortunately, her husband, is telling it straight, because as a Liberal I would never listen to a woman's words nor would I pay attention to her deeds, I need man to re-assure me.
