re: Van Jones' phone is “blowing up” after he called out socialist takeover of Democrat Party

Those (Democrat) senators and governors should come out publicly

They can’t. Their party has become radicalized. Since the Far Left has become much more violent they probably fear for their lives.

It’s like a lot of Muslims won’t come out and condemn radical Islam. They are terrified.

Don’t fall for it. He really wants everything the DS want but knows you can’t immediately force everything that way. He is presenting himself as a “moderate” even though his positions are still extremely far left compared to previous democrats platforms. He is simply shifting the Overton Window.

Plus, his idea of far right he is alluding to is nothing than an 80’s/90’s Democrat or republican. Don’t fall for his shite.

Too late, Van. This is the Frankenstein you created. This is your party's base now. Enjoy!

He wasn’t wrong in what he said. Those (Democrat) senators and governors should come out publicly with their thoughts about the DSA and their candidates rather than just making a call to Van.

The DNC base is soft majority socialist.

The DSA is closer to what they want than HRC for example so they can’t say what they think.

It’s like John Thune hating the MAGA/AF base but having to keep his mouth shut so he doesn’t get primaried.

In other words, no one has called.

Need more democrats to say the truth….. Their silence advances communism

I wish people would stop calling it a Socialist takeover. The Dem Party, and to an extent the GOP, has already pushed Socialism for many years.

The Mamdani's coming forward now are straight-up Marxist/Communists. And Mamdani throws in the component of being a radical Islamist, too.

this is the inherent flaw in progressive politics - there is no catching feature. ok, so one man, Van Jones, decides that "ok now is too far". but what about all the people who have been saying "ok now is too far" for years? what about all the people who are saying "nowhere near far enough"? there is no objective "we've made it", which is why progressive politics is all consuming. there's always somethign else out there to destroy under the guise of making it more fair.

also, nice stupid "we need prisons bc where else are we going to put the Klan" as if that is even remotely relevant in 2026 and as if prisons arent mostly full of violent black criminals.

bottom line - frick him.

I agree and think this is the Democrat playbook for this cycle in a lot of places: you get the senate candidates in NC, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa, maybe even Michigan, etc. along with a bunch of House candidates to claim they are not with this turn-to-the-left and they will fight it.
There are no moderate Democrats anymore. Even Governors like Cooper, Beshear, Shapiro, etc. are only moderate due to the limits the legislature place on them.

They don’t say it because they’re cowards. Everybody afraid to say anything

All this men can get pregnant shite is gonn blow up to. Just a matter of time. Watch
