Socialist Candidates the ‘Future Of Our Party,’ Says DNC Chairman Tom Perez

57

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez said candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist who just won her New York primary, are the future of the Democrats’ party.

In other words: Socialism is the Democratic Party’s future.

That figures. The Democrats have been socialists for some time, only they’ve called themselves progressives instead.

At least they’re finally coming out of the shadows and admitting what they are — a group of victim card-throwing, entitlement-minded, lazy and angry dredges and drains of society, living only to take from others and profit from the hard work of their neighbors. Or: socialists.

From the Washington Examiner:

The chairman of the Democratic National Party, Tom Perez, on Tuesday said socialist political candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are the “future” of the party.

Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described “democratic socialist” who defeated a top House Democrat in a recent primary election, symbolizes where the party is headed, Perez told “The Bill Press Show.”

“I have three kids. two of them are daughters. One just graduated college, one who is in college – and they were both texting me about their excitement over Alexandria because she really – she represents the future of our party,” Perez said.

Perez said he had “great respect” for Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., who unexpectedly lost his primary race to the 28-year-old newcomer last week. “He’s a good Democrat … he’s fought the good fight.”

The Obama-era Cabinet official said Ocasio-Cortez and Ben Jealous, a socialist running for governor in Maryland, are examples of “spectacular” candidates the party believes represents its future.

I see RED TSUNAMI coming in November!!!!
People do NOT want mass immigration and open borders!

WHAT, pray tell,
does it take for Democrat Dershowitz to LEAVE the DEMS?

Dershowitz unloads on NY socialist Dem, Martha’s Vineyard liberals
By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/07/04/dershowitz-unloads-on-ny-socialist-dem-marthas-vineyard-liberals.html

He knows MUSLIMS are bad news and objected to Keith Ellison. He vowed to leave the DEMS if he became the chairman. Instead he become the deputy for the DNC. Dershowitz is Jewish and seems to get, NO MUSLIMS – NO TERRORISM!

Dershowitz is a liberal but the direction of his party is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, even if it is by stealth! What the white liberal DEMS did not anticipate, is being voted OUT of position. DEMS created the racist dependent class. Now they will unite and vote out the rabid white liberals that enabled them to replace them. The DEMS poisonous rhetoric is coming back to BITE THEM out of power. Just watch.

But so fat it bites the Conservatives. They physically attack and insult the government employees, all these instigators like Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Pelosi, obozo, Loretta Lynch, you name them. Not even talking about the media. The young slowflakes, muzrats, antifa fascists can create riots. It’s what exactly Soros and his gang are expecting. It already went too far. Trump’s administration can’t turn the blind eye on it. Actions are needed. Starting with a normal AG, not a puppet.

Agree 100%. That’s why all these “peaceful demonstrations” instigated by Soros’s servants are very danger. Somebody should start to care about it. It’s well above the First Amendment. They physically attack conservatives working for the Government. Why nobody was arrested so far? Imagine what would happened if the same bizarre was inflamed around obozo?

Anyone who believes that the USA is immune to the spectacularly depressing fall of Venezuela is deluding himself. Young people mouthing socialist platitudes simply do not care to come to terms with the notions of liberty and self-government. They would do well to educate themselves by steeping their minds in Austrian economics: mises.org.

IF my political instinct is correct, the recent victory of the young Cortez over a white male {and stale} “Democrat”
signals the coming of a big change in the politics of America, the new scene is going to resemble much more closely the situation we have in the UK and upto now, throughout western Europe.

I’m talking here of the “pussy hat” generation who with their teachers and Uni staff, hate Conservatives and Trump so much they’re looking to build a political revolution that will rubbish all the once unquestioned norms of principled political American opposition. This will include the constitution itself with it’s emphasis on individual freedoms and obligations. I can see everything Conservatives value being reexamined and viewed through new prisms as to whether there can be any tolerance for most of those “outmoded white supremacist” notions and political norms.

The young {and not so young} progressives are thirsting for change and with this recent victory under their belt will field more revolutionary socialists of the “Sanders” type but much younger, politically idealistic clean skins.

Many of them will look to Maduro in Venezuela for inspiration, the “purity” of his politics outweigh {for them} the catastrophic results he’s achieved. America is staring at revolutionary reform including more political violence.

Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus, de optimo rei publicae statu deque nova insula Utopia AKA Utopia, penned by Thomas More and published in 1516 …. The fictional island nation was once a peninsula, however, its first king, Utopos, had a fifteen mile wide channel dug, to separate it from the mainland. The only citizens are native born. Any foreigners are visiting traders or slaves. The vast majority of the slaves are foreign born, most prisoners of war. Every household has a minimum of two slaves. NO immigration is allowed. For a foreigner to travel into the interior, a special passport is required. If one is caught, without said passport, the first time they are humiliated and sent back. The second offense is a life sentence of slavery.

It’s been over forty-five years since I read it (I believe it was around 47 years ago).

Those, on the left, looking for “Utopia”, obviously have NEVER read it.
It was written, and initially published, in Latin. I read a translation. It’s a good read, I should dig it out and read it again.

I have always believed that debate, as
long as it is non-violent, is healthy and I enjoyed reading the expressions of
opinion expressed to my initial commentary. I generally agree with the reply
comments made, but I do know a number of people of the Islamic persuasion who
are today friendly. Unfortunately, I recognize that Islam does promote and
preach violence against ALL non-believers of their religion, and their conduct
of those who accept those directions as acceptable has caused me to become
admittedly “Islamophobic.” Yet, I do not accept the definition that
my Islamophobia is irrational. Contrary to how other religions conduct themselves
today, Islam remains directed to violence, and their people and religious
leaders and politicians refuse to acknowledge that their belief system is
poisonous. As a result, I responsibly believe that they must not be allowed to
promote their violent beliefs anywhere, any more than we would allow speech
that would preach or promote violence against any people, as we have seen with
the Nazi’s, Fascist’s, Communist’s and others who would support maliciousness
and violence, which we now see being expressed by those liberals and some
democrats who are going far beyond free speech when they propose
“physical” harassment and violent protests against those of us that
do not agree with their ultra-liberalism, hand out philosophy, open borders,
and willful suggestion that ICE be terminated. This last position of
termination of a lawful police force, would be like suggesting that city and
county police forces be terminated, opening the door to all kinds of problems,
and we know what would happen then. I am sick of these loonies inane
suggestions, and I hope that our rational leaders and electorate will see the
light.. We just cannot let that happen. I feel very strongly that we ALL need
to adopt that view and act affirmatively to avoid these crazies, who, if they had
their way, would turn this nation into a third world country, allowing us to be
overwhelmed by their off the chart beliefs.

Much of these comments are perfect examples of just how dumb a portion of Americans really are. They don’t realize there’s a difference between Democratic Socialists and socialism. And the author of this article knows that these people are dumb enough to think these Democrats are talking about socialism when they’re actually talking about a thing called Democratic Socialism.

Please, give me a brake with this words games. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Democratic sOCIALISTS AND the SOCIALISM. IT’S A NONSENSE. I’ve lived through this bloody
nightmare for a half of my life in the former Soviet Union, I know better. SOCIALISM IS A CRIMINAL BLOODY UTOPIA, which crashed the Great Russian Empire and turned it to the concentration camp for 300 Million people. Sleazy DamonCraps just looking for the “Change”. NO matter what kind of the change it will be. They are non-productive, unrealistic perverts with a sick mindset. Whoever is basically educated has read the “Manifest” written by Karl Marx. Read it, it’s pretty short. And you’ll see what is it all about. United States has no time for this criminally insane “experiment”. Socialism is a cancer and must be treated as such. Enough said.

Here’s a repost of my comment, to Sunshine Kid, about Utopia. Utopia is the LAST thing that an open border leftist wants.

Thank you for the interesting post. But I assume you’ve misunderstood me. If you read the book “The City of Sun” by Tomasso Campanella (“La Cita del Sol”), you would understand what I’m talking about. In fact this book was written before Thomas More’s in 1506. Commys took this book for their basic explanation of the Communism. And the term the “Communist Utopia” come out of this delirious “masterpiece”. Campanella didn’t consider his novel as the Utopia. The critics named it as such. This book describes the theocratic society, where goods, women and children are held in common. This is the base of the Communist’s Tesises, used by Karl Marx.

The Democrat Party is defined by its division of the demographic. It is a disenfranchisement scheme that claims to be on everyones side all at once.
The underlying theme of the Democrat Party is that freedom is not worth fighting for so we need open borders, gun confiscation and a massive heavily armed police state to keep everyone safe…
Our Republic is defined by our unity. Our demographic is comprised of all races and religions and our core belief is that freedom is worth fighting for. We need secure borders to protect our sovereignty while maintaining a massive heavily armed populace that keeps ourselves safe from..
