Joe Concha just called out every Dem who backed El Sayed, saying they now own Hasan Piker the streamer in the Mao suit who once claimed America deserved 9/11. El Sayed campaigned with Piker and only later tried to distance himself after the backlash.

This is the exact far left DSA and Maoist extremism parents in America should be worried about thats hijacking the Dem Party. Parents should pay attention before this radical ideology shapes the next generation. Where are the Charlie Kirks to debate these issues.

You do know there is a difference between Communists and Democratic Socialists ?

Just because they want universal healthcare for all citizens *,and a fairer distribution

of wealth does not make them communists *like Thailand are they communists ?

they might want universal healthcare! I dont!! I pay allot and it's expensive, but I rather that than a government doctor deciding if i need an operation or not.

Look at Medicare.. It's not the worst bad but far from being even good. (keep paying until you're broke, high monthly premium) I have a few companies that I have part ownership in and one of the companies is an insurance agency and we deal mainly in Medicare programs. People choose private insurance for a reason. Medicare is government coverage but you still have a monthly part B you need to pay and pick up part D that you need to pay for. If you dont enroll into Medicare when eligible and decide to enroll later they hit you with penalties.

Fairer distribution of wealth??? Who hands out wealth and how do you control that??

Or do you mean take other peoples money??

Yes this is true, the commie cancer is a mental sickness in the global civilization and needs to be relentlessly fought off.

Hmm, appears to me that the idea of communism only appeals to those whose current economic system is not taking care of the majority of citizens. Or am I wrong.

Communism did a poor job of taking care of its citizens. This is why China and Vietnam have turned to capitalism.

I'm sure that if people don't want to vote for the DSA they won't. However, as the Republicans make it clear they only want to help the billionaire class and not the working or middle class, people will democratically decide at the ballot box for the party that best serves their needs.

Those that hate, for instance, Bernie Sanders and what he stands for, will not vote for him or those like him.

Bernie Sanders has been in Congress since 1991 more than 35 years. Instead of telling me what he stands for, tell me what he has actually accomplished in all that time.

I'll give him credit where it's due: he worked with Republican John McCain on the bipartisan 2014 veterans legislation. But after more than three decades in Washington, shouldn't we be looking at his actual record not just his speeches about billionaires and the working class?

And I always find it interesting hearing career politicians lecture everyone about wealth and inequality while spending decades in Washington and campaigning around the country on chartered/private aircraft staying a the best hotels along with fine dinning.

Standing for something and actually accomplishing it are two different things.

Affirmative , Communism responsible for 100 million deaths in 100 years for what, a utopians classless society built on anti wealth, anti capitalist only to arrive at being the worlds number one communist country for most billionaires... Another fact they have a king like figure of a leader and a one party rule.

Does it matter how far your money would go? Isn't the whole idea that you help someone less fortunate and redistribute wealth to make things more equal?

You say billionaires should give up more of their money because other people need it. Fine, but why does that principle only apply once someone becomes a billionaire?

Start sending some of your money. If you really believe redistribution is the answer, maybe go to the bank and take out a loan and send that money too.

After all, there are millions of people around the world with far less than you have.

It's always easy to be generous with someone else's money.

As for billionaires they ARE giving billions of dollars away.

Just look at the numbers. Bill Gates has put tens of billions into his foundation, which spends billions every year fighting malaria, polio, TB, hunger and disease in developing countries. Warren Buffett has donated nearly $48 billion to the Gates Foundation alone. MacKenzie Scott gave about $2 billion in 2024, and Michael Bloomberg gave $3.7 billion.

In 2025 alone, the 50 biggest American donors gave or pledged $22.4 BILLION to charity.

So it's simply not true that billionaires are just sitting on their money and "never doing any good." You can argue they should give more, but that's a completely different argument.

Ever wonder why Bernie never made it as a Dem.

This 2016 NYP article by Sperry portrayed Sanders as a diehard communist rooted in Cold War era love of the USSR, trips to the USSR and Nicaragua, and praise for revolutionary regimes, a characterization that critics now extend to his political heirs. El Sayed, a far left progressive repeatedly endorsed and campaigning with Sanders, embodies the modern "Bernie bro" wing of anti oligarchist. He makes DSA event appearances, and calls for public ownership and control of major industries.

Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist

The OP has 52 posts. A poor second has 12.

Not bad for an echo chamber, I suppose he needs it in Issan.

I don't know how universal healthcare might work in the US, but that is far from the way that it works in Europe.

A government doctor does not decide if you need an operation. If a GP has doubts they will refer you to a specialist who will probably order further tests and then, if necessary, outline the treatment options available to you. If one of them is an operation then you (the patient) decides whether you want to go ahead with that option or not.

I'm sure that it's a truism to say that there are good and bad doctors everywhere just as there are good and bad engineers, transport planners, decorators, etc. Just because you are paying for a doctor out of your own pocket doesn't guarantee that you will receive good service and advice. In a similar way, government doctors are not necessarily worse than their private counterparts as you imply. My experience of the medical professional in Belgium and the UK is that the level of expertise is good.

Moreover, the two questions that I have never had to ask a doctor in either Belgium or the UK are, 'How much is this going to cost?' and 'Will my health insurance cover this?'.

Bernie can't escape his Communist past , neither can the Bernie Bros in Seizing the means of production.I think its safe to say the far left fringe are supportive of radical Communist.

"Bernie Sanders advocated for the nationalization of most major industries, including energy companies, factories, and banks, when he was a leading member of a self-described “radical political party” in the 1970s, a CNN KFile review of his record reveals"

"Many of the positions he held at the time are more extreme compared to the more tempered democratic socialism the Vermont senator espouses today and could provide fodder for moderate Democrats and Republicans looking to cast the Democratic presidential candidate and his beliefs as a fringe form of socialism that would be harmful to the country".

I am thinking the Chinese model is thus presenting an attractive model for some. personally, too authoritarian for me. But inmy home country it appears far too many are open to allowing the government to move in this direction under the current administration.

There wasn't a peep about Communism until Trump began spouting off about it a couple of months ago after which right-wing media picked up the story and have been hyping it ever since.

Trump and the MAGA far-right are attempting to start a New Red Scare ala McCarthyism 2.0. Don't fall for it.

The recent USA designation of the UK based Palestine Action group as a terrorist organization highlights the very far left extremism this thread has been warning USA parents about for months.

Just as the DSA and other radical networks push anti American, anti capitalist ideology into politics and youth social circles, groups like this have escalated from protest to *sabotage of military and defense sites while encouraging similar tactics abroad.

Cutting off their funding and labeling them terrorists is a necessary step to stop the same radical mindset that celebrates figures like** Hasan Piker the guy who became famous for wearing a Maoist uniform from turning political rhetoric(anti semite & America deserved 9/11 comment) into real world violence. Time Stamp 4:30.
