It seems that people who thought they were Democrats are finally waking up to the fact that the party has left them.
First up: Bill Maher, who’s not down with the Dem’s open commie turn:
• “Right before we left, Vice President JD Vance was on the show and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play.”
• “Not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen exciting new face in the Democratic Party, and then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out.”
• “New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy. He laments the fall of the two of the mostmurderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao’s China. Mamdami’s aid, his top aid, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don’t believe in the government’s sacred right to seize property, it’s over.’ And ‘Impoverish the white middle class.'”
• “One of the new soon-to-be Democratic Congress people, Darializa Chevalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords, and said ‘seize the means of production.’ Mamdami has said the end goal is ‘seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production. Now maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but that’s communism. That’s communism, which we tried and it doesn’t work.
• Skipping over Maher’s lie about Democrats and Republican switching places in the 1960s. You can’t expect lifelong Democrats to shed all their myths at once.
• “The DSA itself has switched. Even 5 years ago, it shunned communists. That changed. Things change. Now, the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word when their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated, classless society in a word, communism.’ What do they have to do? Tweet out, ‘Elect more communists?’ [laughter] Oh, yeah. Cea Weaver did that.”
• “Yes, my vote is in play. I’m not voting for anyone who thinks the wrong side won the Cold War or cheers for the Intifada like it’s the World Cup.”
