Democrats Abandoned Their Anti-Death Penalty Stance. Those on Federal Death Row May Pay the Price.

Witnesses to Trump's execution spree are dismayed by Democrats' decision to remove death penalty opposition from their party platform.
You're viewing a single thread.
They keep bragging about many Republicans they had on stage. Great, I guess the Democrats are just the Republicans from 10-20 years ago if those speakers find the current Democratic party palatable. I'm sure that will rally people to vote blue like they did in 2008. Was it caving on immigration, peace, and crime what made Obama so popular?
They're not even Republicans from 10-20 years ago. They're Republicans from five years ago.
Yes because Republicans from five years ago would definitely have all the largest union leaders and several socialists speaking at their convention.
If they were speaking at the DNC, they were not socialists. They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.

So Bernie and AOC aren't socialists now?
They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.
Uh? No they didn't? Did you even watch the convention? They had a few Republicans and cops who spoke for less than ten minutes each. Meanwhile they had dozens of women of color, and women's rights were one of the main themes of the entire convention.
Why would they watch the conversation when you can just make up what you feel probably happened based on emotion?
Lemmy has a real feelings = facts problem and it's sad.
Bernie and AOC have never been socialists.
Lol, he literally argues for the means of production being owned by workers.
I mean, he does argue for worker co-ops, yes.
Yes, he also supports forcefully cooperativizing companies over time. He wanted to create a program to gradually have a federally backed buyout of the largest 1000 U.S companies, with mandatory partial worker ownership of any company over a certain number of employees, and mandatory votes for the corporate boards for workers.
Sounds like a great idea.
It also sounds like socialism.
I mean I agree it's a good idea of course. I just wanted to make the point that Bernie and AOC are, in fact, socialists. Way too many people from all sides of the political spectrum think "Oh he just wants to be like Denmark he's not really socialist" or "Bernie would be right wing in Europe" just because the media didn't really ever cover his cooperativization plan or talk of workplace democracy.
This is why I think it's not impossible that we'll have a party swap where these right wing politicians all become the new democratic party and the progressives fuck off to form a new left wing.
