Maybe, just maybe we should not have treated Joseph McCarthy like a nut ball back in his day.


He was a canary in the coal mine.

t will just always baffle me that “traditional” Democrats actually believed the Socialists would be content to always work within the parameters and mainly be “good Democrats”.

Many DSAers, and the RCAers for sure, are anti-capitalist and loathe traditional democrats

Now to all those people that say NYC voters voted for it let them enjoy their rewards this is the way cancer works. You could argue that every urban city is headed in that direction as they are all democrats playing & preying upon their constituents. Feds need to find the criminal aspects of their funding and their associations with foreign entities. Mamdani seems to be the catalyst in the eruption of this after years of just being stewing. The very next democrat president will undoubtedly shove American constitution off the cliff by packing SC, end filibuster, use courts and legal system ( their version of made up laws), change tax laws as well as pass socialist policies on corporations.

Highly educated elites and wealthy limousine liberals are the fuel behind this DSA surge.

They sat in fancy classrooms never learning what real communism actually delivers, poverty, tyranny, starvation, and failure everywhere it’s been tried.

Instead, they get Marxist professors pushing “equity,” open borders, and “eat the rich” while those same elites fly private and hoard wealth.

Meanwhile, working Americans see the results: skyrocketing costs, crime, and chaos in blue cities run by these ideas.

Colleges aren’t educating, they’re indoctrinating. Time to defund the radical factories and teach real American history again

I told the PT people years ago when they laughed and made fun of AOC. "Make her the face!". Well, we did. And the cancer is growing.


You did and I agreed with you. People underestimated AOC and they underestimated Mandani. This is growing much like the MAGA movement and has broad appeal.

Exactly which form of cancer? The cancer that was in the Dem party before was somehow more benign? This was always the goal.


That depends on the historical time frame. Dems were anti-communist for most of the party's history. The change started happening when the New Left (Maoists) who rioted at the dem 1968 convention inherited the party over the course of a generation or two.

Democrats are enemies of the people and are largely responsible for nearly every ill facing the nation

This is crap.

We have a large majority of young people who have never done any hard work in their entire short lives and our teens would benefit (both male and female) would benefit from having to do the following:

1. Mow the lawn an entire summer with an actual push mower that has to be started by hand.

2. Make biscuits by hand.

3. Catch and clean fish.

4.Weed a vegetable garden.

5.Change a flat tire.

6. Change the oil in a car, and go ahead and install new spark plugs.

7. Split firewood with a sledge and a wedge.

8.Start a campfire.

9.Paint a house.

10. form up and pour a slab of concrete.

11. Walk ten miles.

12. go camping with just a sleeping bag.

13.rake and bag leaves.

14.Unstop a kitchen sink.

15. build a simple bookcase.

16. change out a dead car battery.

Any teenager doing these things will forget about socialism.

How best to elicit an effective response?


Probably by not running 80 year old career politicians on the GOP side. Our party is old as eff and needs to reach the youngsters in a better way.

Says US deserved 9/11.


She acknowledged us foreign policy in the Middle East fueled terrorism against the us resulting in 9/11. Can you show me where she explicitly stated the us deserved 9/11 or are you just reading the New York post headlines?
