Analysis: How the 2026 primaries are reshaping the Democratic Party https://cnn.it/3QqI0SR
🤣😂🤣😂🤣TACO🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You guys are disgusting. Literally laying out the propaganda you did for Biden yet Trump passes out in meetings, busy taking dementia tests, slurs words, and lies about his lies… and that’s okay with you!
I fast forward all Scott Jennings. He’s so creepy.
I am loving mainstream panic heart attack. Hey CNN no more bullsh*t….!
Oh boy ur in for a shock America has changed. Mamdani is the way
There are too many examples of Trump’s brand of socialism to list, but here are a few, compiled by the libertarian Cato Institute, which labels them “a hybrid between socialism and capitalism.” TRUMP MADE REPUBLICAN MAGA SOCIALISTS
Trump required tech giant Intel to give the government 10 percent of its stock to receive $9 billion in federal grants approved by Congress during the administration of President Joe Biden. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) objected, warning: “If conservatives endorse this now, they hand Democrats a blueprint to expand government ownership over the private sector later. Socialism is literally government control of the means of production,”
Trump approved Nippon Steel’s $14.9 billion purchase of US Steel only after the Japanese company agreed to give him the power to veto major actions by US Steel.
The president required AI chip manufacturers Nvidia and AMD to give the U.S. government 15 percent of the revenue they generate from the sale of chips to China, in return for his approval of licenses to export the chips.
Trump has also used the presidency to collect money and interfere in the operations of media companies, ignoring the freedom of the press guaranteed by the Constitution’s First Amendment. You expect such actions in a socialist or communist dictatorship — not in America.
Trump filed frivolous defamation lawsuits against ABC and CBS that would likely have failed if they had come to trial. But ABC agreed in 2024 to settle with Trump for $16 million and CBS agreed in 2025 to settle for the same amount, with the payments going to help create a Trump presidential library and pay Trump’s legal fees.
Trump is continuing to pursue weak lawsuits seeking tens of billions of dollars from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Des Moines Register, CNN and the BBC. While he is unlikely to win the lawsuits, they harass and intimidate news organizations, saddling them with big legal defense bills.
In addition, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has been applauded by Trump for threatening the broadcast licenses of TV stations that carry reports Trump dislikes about the war against Iran, along with talk shows the president dislikes.
While democratic socialists — most notably New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — have won elections in some progressive enclaves, a Gallup poll published last September found that 57 percent of Americans hold a negative view of socialism.
Democrats should capitalize on this by positioning their party as the protector of our freedoms and the free enterprise system against Trump’s Republican version of authoritarian socialism
Dont use your volunteers? Mf we are the volunteers lol
Goodbye swing states 😂😂
Goodbye jobs 😂😂
Neoliberals need to become the actual right wing of the USA, leave the left to actual working class representation. Throw the fascists and MAGA reactionaries 6 feet under. Then we can talk about your “democracy”.
That’s what the democrats said about Trump before throwing Bernie under the Centrist bus.
The status quo of bought and payed for politics needs change…
Giving the filthy rich control of tne country
And destroying the middle class..
people are sick of this shit..
Republicans stand to benefit the most from Progressive Democrat Policies, but they just haven’t caught on yet. After a lifetime of Big Business Lies and propaganda, they still don’t understand the “Word Socialism”. Think in terms of not being screwed by the unnecessary need for insurance; overpriced Healthcare; Security if ever Unemployed; Child Support; Free Education; A government that believes that spending on its people is not a waste but a genuine, worthwhile investment that will eventually produce a worthwhile dividend. I believe that Republicans are beginning to see where their best interests lie; I don’t believe in the polls, as the answers are formulated by the slant of the questions asked. “Do You Want These Communists Running Your Country?” See! They said No!
Yes. Socialism is evil.
Democratic socialism is fine. Visit Norway.
Remember when Socialists FDR put Japanese Americans in Concentration camps? When he served more than 2 four year terms?
Zoran Mamdani will not be putting people in concentration camps. Go touch grass.
SOCIALISM – COMMUNISM ….?
DSA is to the Democratic Party what MAGA was to the Republican Party.
IT NEEDS TO BE A COMPLETE TAKE OVER!!!
Only DSA can take on MAGA. The Democratic Old Guards need to GO!
💯
This will not last long!!!
Cry.
Voters are draining the swamp of Establishment Democrats and I’m loving every minute of it.
