“We Are Capitalists”

With the rising tide of DSA and conserv outlets labeling these people as communists the Dems have to try and distance themselves from the label….

I cannot believe that these dimwits took the bait.

Democrats in competitive midterm races are increasingly declaring themselves proud capitalists, worried that Republican accusations of socialism and communism could sway critical swing voters this November, interviews with candidates and a review of campaign materials show. The effort represents an extraordinary moment in US politics, where Democrats who have long operated within a capitalist system as one of the country’s two major parties now feel compelled to emphasize their commitment to a market-based economy on the campaign trail.

dozens of Democrats in tight races are declaring their support for capitalism in social media posts, town halls and TV appearances as President Donald Trump and Republicans intensify efforts to cast them as dangerous radicals bent on turning America into a socialist state. Sixty national, state and local Democratic candidates, including 10 sitting members of Congress, have signed a pledge with a new group, Promise to America, declaring “we are capitalist, not socialist.” “This is the first time in my 50 years in politics that Democrats have had to explicitly declare their support for capitalism,” said Doug Schoen, a veteran party strategist. Trump and his allies have highlighted victories by members of the left-wing Democratic Socialists of America movement and progressive candidates in Democratic primaries to portray the whole party as socialist. “It’s going to be a communist country if they win,” Trump said of the Democrats at a Republican convention in Dallas in September.

Democratic leaders dismiss the characterization as false and designed to distract from the high cost of living, voters’ top concern.

When I read this article all I could do was think to myself….”No Shit”!

“We are capitalists”….is there ever any doubt?

Anyone that even considers these slugs as communist are morons….it is that simple.

Once in Congress they cater to the wealthy and gladly accept bribes ….oh my bad…. donations….to further their bank accounts.

Must they state the obvious?

It is more about trying to avoid the negative label of ‘communist’ as the vote draws near….anything they must do to preserve the culture of corruption they will do…..they just want their piece of the special interest pie.

Whatcha think about this ?

  1. I think it a shame thar we’re all so jaded that we csn”,t admit thee might be an honest politicians out there that would be trusted to refuse all bribes and gifts. That makes it harder to find the next president
    I think you have Bernie as an honest man and Pete Buttigeig from the younger set. They seem to have princples abf might start a trend of honesty in a new Government.

  2. They must have been running scared to be labelled ‘Communists’, especially as most people in Amrica have no actual idea what Communism entails. It has just become a scare-word, an insult. One of those labels that can stick, and destroy careers and reputations. Just ask Joe McCarthy’s ghost how well that works.
    Best wishes, Pete.
