Is Fetterman the only Democrat concerned about socialism in his party?

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 7:19 am

“I said months ago, I said the Democratic Party is becoming an orgy of socialism. These recent elections vindicate my description.”

-Senator John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania)

Harold Ford, Jr....IS Concerned !

And I am sure Lieberman would be also....other than that it looks like Nancy Pelosi's Democrat Socialists of America is taking over the Democrat Party....

In 1998 she was the President of the DSA with 34 Democrat Congressmen of which Becerra was one of them....with the Russian fist aas part of their identity! But, as more people became aware of her being such...she got nervous, no doubt before the 2000 election, she and her 34 henchmen left DSA and are now the Progressives!

I Duck Duck Go'd ...if Nancy Pelosi was the President of DSA and AI says she never was President of DSA.....LOLOL...therefore I question AI is any good at all itself!!

I use Duck Duck Go for all research ...at least they support BOTH parties.....Google does not support Republicans...

All Americans should be concerned about socialism.

Socialism has led to economic ruin and starvation over and over, from the USSR to Mao's China, North Korea, Cuba, and most recently Venezuela.

Fetterman sees it. Harold Ford sees it. Many Democrats do not.

Good to “see” you, Deanna.

You won't even own up to being a MAGA Republican

You claim to be an Independent for Trump.

Unlike you, I don’t admit to being something I am not.

You live in this little tidy black and white world where everything must be compartmentalized for your own convenience. I dislike Trump because he acts just like you.

Childish insults and lying are not components of civil discourse. If your insecurities did not get in the way, you would both know that.

You simpletons are so confused. It would be amusing, but unfortunately…..

…you can vote.

If there was an IQ qualification to vote

Posted by Gustavo on August 10, 2026, 4:02 am, in reply to "You simpletons are so confused. It would be amusing, but unfortunately….."

None of the boardhost Republican clique would be eligible to vote.

That is quite obvious.

here is your grandchildren's

Thanks Arwen!!

I love all that you say.....as you have truly been in the working world and have seen it all....from what I gather from all of your highly intelligent postings....I love them! Thank You!!!!

Democrat Socialists and Republican Fascists always existed

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 9:16 am, in reply to "Harold Ford, Jr....IS Concerned !"

but when Congress was Bipartisan they were shut out with no voice.

Republican Partisanship has given the Democrat Socialists a voice.

LOLOLOL Dream On!

Posted by Deanna on August 9, 2026, 9:39 am, in reply to "Democrat Socialists and Republican Fascists always existed"

Democrat Socialists.....YES! Not Republican Facists!! I have been Republican, as my family has all my life...and in high school I had two Jewish girlfriends....and I thought the world of them....

Anyone that wants a commune system, which, it seems the radical Democrats are vying for today....are losers par none! During Clinton's term he destroyed a commune system....today they glorify it....Where have the Dmeocrats gone?????

What is Dmeocrats ???

His knee jerks are forgiven....cuz I know he is a Dem o crat....poor thing.....LOLOL

We can all agree that there are socialists in the Democrat party.

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 9:38 am, in reply to "Democrat Socialists and Republican Fascists always existed"

I don’t know of anyone with an ounce of credibility who can identify a single Republican who is a fascist.

This is a classic straw man fallacy.

Republican Partisanship is responsible

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 7:39 am, in reply to "Is Fetterman the only Democrat concerned about socialism in his party?"

for giving a voice to Socialists. Republicans should own it.

What irrational drivel. The GOP is not responsible for the stupidity of the Democratic Party.

Posted by DFM on August 9, 2026, 11:32 am, in reply to "Republican Partisanship is responsible "

Republicans are responsible for Democrats becoming socialists???

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 8:02 am, in reply to "Republican Partisanship is responsible "

I have been consistent in my criticism of Trump’s socialist impulse to support state ownership ship of private chip and steel companies (for example), but, frankly, blaming Republicans in general for Democrats embracing socialists into your party is perhaps one of the dumbest things I have ever read here.

It reads like someone blinded by partisan hate and committed to the Orange Man Bad mantra that prohibits civil discourse about ideas and policies that are good for the nation.

Socialists always claim the mantle of democracy but somehow always end up with one-party states. Their target is the Democrat Party because it most closely aligns with their goals including the suppression of freedom.

Their movement aims to restructure the entire American political system, to replace free markets with central planning, and to transform a constitutional republic designed to protect individual rights into a so-called democratic collective that can wage permanent class warfare including Medicare for All, open borders, and the abolition of the Senate and the USSC.

Are you going to stand by and let it happen?

Re: Republicans are responsible for Democrats becoming socialists???

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 8:40 am, in reply to "Republicans are responsible for Democrats becoming socialists???"

You can screw American families some of the time but you cannot screw them all of the time like the Trump administration has done.

Trump had a South African jumping around on the stage with a chain saw firing over 200,000 Americans from their jobs under the guise of DOGE.

Millions of Americans lost their healthcare from cuts to Medicaid ( many were senior citizens) and cuts to Obamacare subsidies.

But Trump had plenty of money for $trillions in tax cuts to corporations and billionaires. Trump had plenty of money to weaponize the DOJ to go after his so called enemies.

Trump ripped down part of the White House to build a ballroom costing $ billions and other costly projects.

Trump started a winless war with Iran costing $ billions and driving up the cost of living for American families

All of the Trump arrogance has created a platform for the Democratic Socialists and many people are listening.

When Republican moderates and Democrat moderates worked together in Congress to get things done the Republican Fascists and the Democrat Socialists were shut out with no voice..

I will ask again…

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 8:53 am, in reply to "Re: Republicans are responsible for Democrats becoming socialists???"

Are you going to stand by and just let socialists take over the Democrat party?

Or are you just going to stick with your Orange Man Bad rhetoric and pretend Democrats aren’t embracing socialists in your party?

If the Republicans in Congress

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 9:22 am, in reply to "I will ask again…"

start working with the Democrats instead of kissing Trump’s butt, Socialism will go nowhere.

So you are okay with socialists in the Democrat party?

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 9:32 am, in reply to "If the Republicans in Congress"

Your position is that “my party needs to embrace socialism because Republicans won’t”.

Is this correct?

Wow, you are a very sick person

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 10:28 am, in reply to "So you are okay with socialists in the Democrat party?"

That is not what I suggested in my post.

Maybe your reading comprehension is lacking or maybe you are just looking for trouble.

Get lost old lady.

You give up very easy.

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 11:49 am, in reply to "Wow, you are a very sick person"

All it takes is exposing your logical fallacies and you go straight to insult mode.

Can’t even denounce socialism….surprising for someone who owned a business.

I’m still in business

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 1:19 pm, in reply to "You give up very easy."

51 years, since 1975. Still going strong.

Congratulations.

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 4:26 pm, in reply to "I’m still in business"

That’s a lot of carpet.

….and BTW, I am not a Democrat

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 10:50 am, in reply to "Wow, you are a very sick person"

😊

You are a registered Democrat.

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 11:50 am, in reply to "….and BTW, I am not a Democrat"

At least that’s what you told the board earlier.

Nope

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 1:17 pm, in reply to "You are a registered Democrat."

Stop lying.

Good for you for changing your registration.

Posted by Arwen on August 9, 2026, 4:28 pm, in reply to "Nope"

You finally saw the light.

What do those of you on the edge call themselves?

Posted by The Everlasting GOG Stopper *= on August 9, 2026, 10:54 am, in reply to "….and BTW, I am not a Democrat"

ProgComm.

Why do you want her to "Get Lost"?

Posted by The Everlasting GOG Stopper *= on August 9, 2026, 10:34 am, in reply to "Wow, you are a very sick person"

Because she excels at exposing your hypocrisy?
🙉🙈🙊

You are another troublemaker

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 10:36 am, in reply to "Why do you want her to "Get Lost"?"

who lacks reading comprehension skills.

Get lost old man.

You'd sure like me to leave, wouldn't you?

Posted by The Everlasting GOG Stopper *= on August 9, 2026, 10:39 am, in reply to "You are another troublemaker"

How do you intend on accomplishing such a task?

There goes you lack of reading comprehension

Posted by Gustavo on August 9, 2026, 10:43 am, in reply to "You'd sure like me to leave, wouldn't you?"

I said get lost, I didn’t say leave.

Ahhhh...You prefer the literal definition for the colloquial term...

Posted by The Everlasting GOG Stopper *= on August 9, 2026, 1:54 pm, in reply to "There goes you lack of reading comprehension"

A stopper is a hole plugger

Posted by Gustavo on August 10, 2026, 8:50 am, in reply to "Ahhhh...You prefer the literal definition for the colloquial term..."

Which one of GOG’s holes do you plug ??? 😂🤣
