Reminder: AOC and her Justice Democrat Squad opposed this bill on the grounds of purity, when even the very worst Democrat (Joe Manchin) supported it.
The JD’s are worse than the worst Democrat.

The DSA isn’t technically in favor of these things, but it’s also not against them.
In terms of fascism, they’re not paying it any attention because they’re too busy fighting what they consider to be their real enemy: liberalism.
As they see it, liberalism stands in the way of control of the DNC, and that control is a practical requirement for the revolution. In contrast, RNC victory is consistent with accelerationism: “After Trump, our turn.”
The images below lay out the argument using their own words:

Except for the “Democrat” part.
The Justice Democrats are Democrats only in the sense that faux pearls are pearls: the adjective contradicts the noun, so the noun describes the appearance instead of the reality.
#populism #uspol #justicedemocrats #politics #aoc
The DNC is the party of liberalism. The socialist populists are opposed to liberalism, perhaps even more so than they are to fascist populism.
So, as a liberal, forgive me for being unwilling to embrace the destruction of my own party by extremist lunatics.
Now, if these people weren’t lunatics and just wanted a level of influence proportionate to their numbers, they would be welcomed into the big tent.
But, no, they’re fucking arsonists who just want to burn it down and build a communist revolution in its ashes. Fuck that and them.
As for democracy, nobody has ever achieved a perfect one, but America is a democracy and it is voting that has prevented the far left from taking over the DNC, just as voting is how we stopped Trump and will again. It is only through anti-democratic means, including voter suppression, that these extremists gain power.
Bernie lost twice. Twice, the DNC rejected him, thus rejecting the socialist populism that he brings with him. We know what we want, and it’s not him or his ideas.

AOC is a tankie, but so are all the other Justice Democrats, so this isn’t a personal quirk, it’s an organizational policy. It’s a clear sign that they are compromised.
The nice thing about motives is that we don’t have to read minds. If we shut up and listen, they are often willing to tell us exactly what their goals are.

With all due respect, this is not a matter of “both sides” because these are not Democrats.
They’re “Justice” Democrats, which is a Democrat only in the sense that a faux pearl is a type of pearl. According to to them, they are not Democrats, just far-left infiltrators.
Instead of “both sides”, meaning both the RNC and DNC, it’s a matter of both ends of the horseshoe, meaning the fascist populists and the socialist populists. Both types of extremists are tankies.

Because the people pushing for ranked choice are power-hungry lunatics who are angry that democracy does not favor extremism.
These are the very same people who’ve been bragging since Bernie’s first failed run that they would infiltrate and take over the DNC, replacing it with the DSA.

There is no conservative wing of the Democratic Party. There was, once, decades ago. They were called the Dixiecrats and they went over to the RNC as a result of the Southern Strategy.
The DNC is the party of liberalism, but it’s under attack by the socialist populists. These are far-left extremists whose stated goal is to take over our party and launch a Marxist revolution.
Which, to be honest, sounds fucking nuts, but they keep bragging about it, so I believe them.
(Using an image because they bravely blocked me, but the original is at https://hachyderm.io/@unicorndeburgh/110873334879072552.)
@unicorndeburgh is intentionally missing the point.
As I showed with lots of primary-source examples, I’m not dictating who gets to be a Democrat.
Rather, these socialist populists keep telling us how much they hate Democrats and aren’t Democrats and just want to destroy the Democrats.
I’m a Democrat, and I believe them.
It turns out that there are exit polls, so we do know. The images below confirm that a quarter of Berners went bust, half of those by voting for Trump. Moreover, these didn’t just happen in places where such votes were pointless, safe protests. They happened in enough quantity in the places that mattered to make the difference.
Bluntly: Bernie Sanders got Donald Trump elected. Anyone who denies this is a liar who’s carrying water for the populists.
These socialist populists are, by their own admission, not our partners. Perhaps they could be, but they’ve decided not to be, and we would be fools if we didn’t take them at their word.
As for policies, that’s impossible because they’re populists. Populists don’t do policies; they do slogans. Consider M4A and GND and DTP. All empty.
#politics #populism #justicedemocrats
If these socialist populists wanted to join the DNC legitimately, I’d welcome them. We all would, actually.
This is a big-tent party and there’s room for many views, from Sanders to Manchin, all of which should have proportionate influence.
The problem is that, by their own admission, the Justice Democrats want to come in the Democratic tent so that they can burn it down and replace it with a Marxist circus built on the ashes.
They refuse to settle for proportionate influence, because that would mean compromise. And, being populists, they reject compromise. They want to be the whole of the party and to completely silence the liberals.
Again, none of this is my guesswork. That’s their official account and its tweets speak for their organization. So if they say they’re not Democrats, then they’re not Democrats. I believe them; why won’t you?
Here are a pair of representative tweets where they make it painfully clear:
#populism #justicedemocrats #politics
Oh, that’s easy: not being actively opposed to the Democratic Party and its liberal base. Not being opposed to Biden and his antiracist, pro-environmental agenda.
The Justice Democrats hate the DNC and hate liberals. They brag that they have no loyalty and are just using our party. Worse, they’re not just using it, they want to take it over.
Why would we want to help these people hurt us? These are safe-blue areas so we can win the general just fine with liberal candidates.
And if I sound like I’m being unfair about their motives, you don’t need to take my word for it; take theirs. They’re utterly shameless.
AOC is a “Justice Democrat” which is only a Democrat the way a faux pearl is a pearl.
The JD’s are a DSA-associated group of socialist-populist infiltrators. Their stated goal is to take over the DNC from the inside.

When the going gets tough, you can count on #AOC and the #JusticeDemocrats to protest…against Biden.
Few people have the courage, ethics, and morals to make real justice possible at the top of our government.

I’m temporarily suspending my research into #JusticeDemocrats to focus on #ElonMusk’s ties to Russia.
It’s not a total deviation from my primary mission given (1) Musk backed #RoKhanna’s run for Congress and Khanna ended up being the first member of Congress to join Justice Dems, and (2) Musk was an early investor in #Stripe and Stripe used Musk’s money to hire #SaikatChakrabarti, who ended up working for #AOC and engineering the small dollar donation scheme behind #BernieSanders and #TheSquad.

I really wish the #OSINT community would devote some time to investigating #AOC #TheSquad and #JusticeDemocrats and their ongoing, attempted hostile takeover the Democratic Party.
People need to shine light on it before it’s too late.
