Why would this surprise anyone?
These people are actual Democrats like I am the Captain of a Pirate Ship.
They just infiltrated the party with the weakest standards,starting back in the early 30's,and used it for a vessel to rise to the top of the political ladder.
Their slogan from the start was basically "We are going to give everybody anything they want,and it's not going to cost anyone anything!" The fact that do many Dim voters bought that line explains why I call them Dims. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch,and anyone with 2 IQ points to rub together understands this.
Yeah,it took them a LONG time to gain the power they have now,but what matters to them is they now HAVE that power.
Once they get a solid lock on power,which they WILL have if they are allowed to steal the next election like they stole the last one,the traditional Democrats will find themselves getting the boot as they shift into a Dictatorship of the Left,and the only people who will have ANY power are "good party members with party cards."
Stalinist Russia was always their political model,and that remains true today. After all,THEY are the ones that knows what is best for us all,so why would they need anyone else's input?
