Is there anyone on the Dem side that's not a flaming socialist?

Bernie's "Everything is free for everybody (except the rich)" ad. Worth sitting through the whole five minutes to see how they twist stuff into propaganda. Like "paying for it all by hitting wall street with transaction fees on speculative trading". Which, in reality, means that anyone who buys stocks for retirement or whatever is hit by the fee, not just bajillionaires. Otherwise, it plays like a late night ad for crappy merchandise. "Act now and Bernie will throw in an electric car! Free free free!"

What kind of stock trading isn't speculative?

Exactly. Commie wordsmithing to make it sound like they're just going to gouge Porsche driving wall street sharks instead of Joe the plumber with a 401K.

Porsche-driving Wall Street sharks probably wouldn't even be affected.  Joe the plumber with a 401(k) gets to pay for it all, and then is supposed to feel guilty about it.

Ban hate speech. In other words anything we disagree with
Women have penises and women can get men pregnant   
No restrictions on abortions up to the moment of birth
Open borders
Free healthcare for illegals
Voting rights for non-citizens
Free political indoctrination for all. aka Free college
Reparations
Orange man bad

Better?

Ban guns, they're icky.
Ban hate speech which is defined as anything we disagree with
Women have penises and women can get men pregnant    
No restrictions on abortions up to the moment of birth and after unless the children can be used as political pawns
Open borders
Free healthcare for illegals
Voting rights for non-citizens
Free political indoctrination for all. aka Free college
Reparations for anyone but white and Asian people or conservatives
Orange man bad
Loan forgiveness for anyone who ONLY votes Democrat
The Constitution says whatever we want it to say based on our feelings at the moment and we reserve the right to imagine parts that don't exist.
Ban the electoral college because we want only California and New York to have a say in national elections

Ban the electoral college because we want voter fraud in California and New York to determine national elections

This maybe?  I guess illegal aliens might work, but voter fraud covers it.

With Erci Swalwell out, Tom Steyer has jumped in.  His platform is 1) we need to fix our broken election system (narrator: It's not) 2) Climate Change !!!111elebnty.

Looks likt a winning combo (narrator: It's not. )
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Vermin Supreme officially enters the 2020 race.  Surprisingly, not as a Democrat despite his "free ponies for everyone" promise:

Feel the Bern!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

When's the latest Michele can announce. It's the only reason the Dems are floating this raft of losers. Poll results (I know not from where) Michele is the "Most respected woman in the world".  These losers will make her look sane.

I like how he's mad at his staff. :)

Sanders also expressed frustration that his staffers had aired their salary complaints to the media, according to The Register. “It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it's improper,” he said.
