Democratic socialists advocate for a radical restructuring of our economic and political systems to value people over profits.
(SO, YOU DON’T HAVE A JOB.)
Rather than our current economy, which is controlled by the wealthy few for their own benefit, we envision an economy that is democratically controlled by all Americans.
(SO, YOU DON’T HAVE A JOB.)
By working toward progressive change that empowers workers, people of color, women, the LGBTQ community and other marginalized Americans, we believe that we can create a free, democratic, humane society.

There are currently more jobs available in the USA than there are people to fill them. So, instead of advocating, envisioning and believing, perhaps you should just get one.
If you know anything about the centuries old history of the Salem witch hunts in our nation you will know it was a ruse. While some very ignorant superstitious members of that society blamed everything bad that happened on other members of the society being witches holding evil powers over them, their health, their failed crops or dying livestock, the hunt soon turned to opportunists making accusations about their neighbors being witches in order to gain personally and politically. Recall the burden of proof at that time was on the accused to disprove the charges. Being too stupid and driven by their own supreme self-righteous religious arrogance to understand the reality of logic and reasoning that you cannot prove you didn’t do something, or prove a negative, these overlords then set up tests to decide if someone was or was not a witch. Always, if the person survived the water-dunking or stone crushing they were a witch and the test would continue until they confessed to such. If they died they were innocent. If they finally confessed that person would be imprisoned, starved, and eventually hanged, theirs and their family’s reputation ruined for generations.
For all the caterwauling by the democrats and the left in this country that putting Brett Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS bench means women will be forced to return to back alley abortion services, I would say we are currently in a bigger immediate danger of returning to a very dark corner of our legal history where the accused had no rights and the accuser used public opinion and mob rule. The even more terrifying aspect of this is that some of our own legislators are leading the charge with their dismissal and refusal to abide by jurisprudence, due process, innocent until proven guilty, and burden of proof. This should cause everyone in this republic to take a very long pause and recognize this. Sure, it might be somebody you don’t like today, in this instance it is a SCOTUS nominee, but in the future it could be someone you know that has a terrible accusation hurled at them. Do you really want the court of public opinion ruling on your loved one’s guilt or innocence? Would that be better than the system of law and justice this nation has depended on for the past couple centuries? Because that is exactly what certain factions in the democrat party and the MSM are demanding right now…
More anarchical 'progressive' lawyers who think some people are more deserving of presumption of innocence, juris prudence/due process/laws are squishy clay to be molded into products of their feelings & the Constitution ain't no big thing.
No, Joe. That is NOT how this works. We thought you and the rest of the rabid democrats ditching our justice system are, well, lawyers who actually know the fucking law. These are the same assholes making laws that the rest of us are expected to abide by, or else. Yet, if, say, your name is Kennedy or Ellison or Clinton there is a completely separate and elite system of law for you.
The accused is presumed innocent, the burden of proof on the accuser to prove guilt. Both parties have the right to equal involvement in the justice system. The accused has the right to face his/her accuser and tell their side of the story and present facts and evidence. Well, not only is that being thrown under the bus right now in the case of Judge Kavanaugh, but anyone expecting this woman do what she is supposed to do as the accuser is “victimizing” her…
Dr. Ford is the one refusing to testify after her attorney said multiple times she was ready to do so. She isn’t being silenced, she’s being offered a national platform. https://t.co/zpKaleDU3f
She had no problem(s) contacting the WaPo and talking to them for a published story.
The attorney for Kavanaugh’s accuser says that having the accuser testify under oath at a Senate Judiciary Comittee hearing would be “contrary to the Committee discovering the truth.” https://t.co/LGeYePwTBE
Yeah, that wouldn’t hold up in court. But here’s the thing, Ford doesn’t have to show up and testify. But then that is not what this is about, is it? This whole thig was overplayed by the democrats. They believed in this putrid atmosphere of “Me Too” and “All women must be believed” this after-the-fact reveal of Ford’s letter (leaked by Feinstein, by the way) was meant to pressure the White House to withdraw Kavanaugh, or Kavanaugh withdraw himself from the SCOTUS nomination, and dems flailing now. They never expected a fight, and demands for, you know, actual following of due process.
The Me Too movement in this country right now is yet another arm of the SJW and anarchy movements. Everyone has rushed to believe this woman accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct when they were teens. She does not remember 99.99% of the details of the incident, but we are expected to deem her “credible” on that .01% she claims is fact … that it happened and it was Kavanaugh…
College professor Christine Ford can’t remember the year her “assault” happened, but can remember that she was fifteen. Chances are she won’t be joining the Math Department any time soon. https://t.co/HyGrJVdxgy

Over this past week of this Prof. Ford’s accusation against Judge Kavanaugh a lot has been thrown into the mix. A couple points of interest: Ford is reportedly a liberal democrat activist that allegedly took part in the women’s march in Washington DC after Pres. Trump’s inauguration, and other such protests (including against the proposed border wall). Just before Sen. Feinstein finally brought forward Ford’s letter to her regarding this alleged incident allegedly involving Kavanaugh, Ford scrubbed all her social media. And allegedly her high school yearbook has also been ‘scrubbed’ (don’t know how that’s done but…), as plastic straw grabbers against Kavanaugh insist his yearbooks are relevant and key evidence of his guilt, or something…
Christina Blasey Ford Kavanaughs accuser confidential 👉Conspiracy to scrub her social media footprint but read about her high school antics and you will know why they won't let it be out in public https://t.co/mjpXRdbjyq
I guess that explains why her yearbook is never cited in this.
Another report, that we are supposed to take as part of her ‘credibility’ is the claim she took a polygraph test prior to Feinstein’s reveal. Well, from what I am seeing Ford took the test in her lawyer’s office. And by the way, polygraph tests are not permissible in courts of law in this country. They are not as scientifically accurate at deciding somebody is being truthful or dishonest as some would have you believe. But still they persist, and even demand Kavanaugh take one.
And while we are on the subject, Ford’s lawyer, Debra Katz, has her own extreme activist background, and is tied to George Soros and the Clintons, to say the least. So, nah…. there is no agenda at work here except this poor Ford woman’s trauma from 36 years ago. And this:
The lawyer for Kavanaugh’s accuser is refusing to even respond to the Chief Counsel for the Senate Judiciary about the allegations made by her client. This lawyer has done a half-dozen TV appearances instead. This is very telling. https://t.co/F3kbcBPS9i
Ford is refusing to show up, no matter how much Sen. Grassley and the republicans bend over backward to accommodate her and her precious feelings. Public. Private. In DC. In California. Anywhere she picks. Nope, Ford and her lawyer are refusing to talk with the senate panel to tell her side of this story and answer their questions. Which is really rather funny, given how we all can safely assume the democrat senators on the panel will fawn over her, coddle her, declare her the bravest woman ever to walk the Earth, and deify her while demonizing the mean and evil republicans and “rapist” Kavanaugh who are punishing her by forcing (their word) her to talk.
Ford, via her lawyer, is demanding an FBI investigation. This is not the FBI’s jurisdiction. If she is so determined for actual law enforcement to get involved why doesn’t she go to whatever police department where the alleged sexual assault took place (if she can remember what city/town it was) and file an official police report and set in motion an actual police investigation into Kavanaugh and this allegation? And those citing the FBI’s involvement in the Anita Hill verses Clarence Thomas issue need to understand her allegations against him allegedly took place in a federal building, not somebody’s house.
THEY HAVE DESCENDED TO THIS LEVEL: A friend who wishes to remain anonymous, but whom I trust, informs me that a reporter from Politico called her today seeking dirt on Brett Kavanaugh based on vague rumors from Kavanaugh’s days as an attorney at Kirkland & Ellis. Then there is the request below, which rather tellingly asks for information on Kavanaugh, and not on the protagonist who actually attended Holton-Arms. The Senate needs to put an end to this farce as quickly as possible.
Ford, via her lawyer, insists more ‘witnesses’ be present at any hearing before she would even think of attending. Well, those whom she had also named in her letter to Feinstein have already put out their public statements that what she is alleging never happened, and that they will not participate any further. And it is not likely Ford has any actual ‘witnesses’ to back-up her allegation. But that doesn’t stop those who ride their personal feelings to drive them into the middle of this mess:
NEW: A former schoolmate of Dr. Ford writes on social media that she recalls the alleged Kavanaugh assault incident being discussed at their school, but adds that she has no first-hand information to corroborate the accuser's claims. https://t.co/dEa1fURH9M
.@KenDilanianNBC leaves out of this story that Ford in her therapist notes disclosed she never mentioned the incident to anyone prior to that session in 2012. Now why would he omit that? https://t.co/ZzDYSG6e7w
A former classmate of Christine Blasey Ford tells NPR she doesn't know if an alleged sexual assault by Brett Kavanaugh took place as she first suggested on social media. https://t.co/g2ArVHDFgW
"In my post, I was empowered and I was sure it probably did [happen]," she says. "I had no idea that I would now have to go to the specifics and defend it before 50 cable channels." https://t.co/g2ArVHDFgW
She says she doesn't have "first-hand knowledge" — but that despite not knowing specifics, she remembers there was a "buzz" that went around the weekend of the party in question about an alleged incident involving students from her school and Kavanaugh's. https://t.co/g2ArVHDFgW
She said staff from the Senate Judiciary Committee had reached out to her, something she wasn't expecting. She said she will not go through with a committee interview if asked. https://t.co/g2ArVHDFgW
Yes, this is the problem. Rape accusations now put you at the top of the victim scoreboard and therefore give you more social currency than any achievement. Claiming to have information supporting someone else’s rape accusation gives you almost as much.
I don’t want to hear “Why would Ford lie about rape?” any longer. This idiot came forward out of the shadows to lie about rape. Ask her if you want to know why someone would lie about rape…
It seems like lying about rape can be “empowering” for some women.
So spare me further bullshit on this point.
Yes, men do rape. But women also do lie about rape. Both things happen. It is absurd that we are expected to take a woman’s testimony on a rape claim as absolutely determinative and that we are not even allowed to question her.
It’s even more absurd that we don’t even have her testimony, but we’re supposed to take a redacted letter she wrote to a partisan senator as determinative.
See what I mean?
"I have a right to be heard, but only on my terms. Kavanaugh doesn't have any rights at all." Sure thing, Erica. https://t.co/SpkfuxrMZi
Perhaps more offensive: "They want her to go away. They don't want the country to hear from her, and they certainly don't want the country to hear from her live and on television."
You have to be living in a hole for the last 72 hours or just a blinkered idiot to believe this. https://t.co/yK1gPpXIly
Oh, important fact here: Just so we are clear, Kavanaugh did not rape her. Ford’s vague written account of what allegedly happened over three decades ago has her saying Kavanaugh did not rape her … and basically describes groping and clothing-tugging that she ‘thought/felt’ would lead to a rape (and even her death?!?) before the alleged incident ended without going any farther. However, the democrats and the liberals whose manufactured and fake outrage we are being deluged with, are insinuating there was a rape.
“My staff has made repeated requests for this document — which has become a significant piece of evidence in Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation process — but your staff has so far refused to provide a copy of the letter,” Grassley wrote. “I must review the unredacted letter that Dr. Ford sent to you, dated July 30, 2018. I ask that you send me a copy of the original, unredacted letter immediately.”
Besides wanting an unredacted copy of the letter, Grassley also writes to Feinstein that “Sexual assault allegations deserve serious attention, and those who make such allegations must be heard. They should not be deployed strategically for political gain.” https://t.co/XOU5Fzi9Kj
Justice is set up to be ‘blind’ in this republic. That is the way our justice system can run and rule as equally and fairly as possible. It is not perfect, but it is the best in the history of the world. People cannot be convicted simply on an accusation. Feelings and emotions are not to be considered in carrying out our justice system, hence Lady Justice’s blindfold.
If I have learned anything from these past several days it is that there are a whole Hell of a lot of people who should never be on a trial jury … and frighteningly, many of them are democrat US Congress members. As I said above, these people are writing laws for the rest of us to follow and obey. Think hard about that, because come November if voters allow the democrat-socialists to take over the House and the Senate this is exactly how they intend to continue the ‘fundamental transformation’ of our republic to their twisted and dangerous version of “democracy”.
If democrats thought this would be a great way to sway votes in November…

CNN spinning unredacted text messages as "threat" to national security. Have you ever seen reporters try so hard to not cover a story, and not want to see more documents?
Well, the democrats and the MSM have their collective soiled panties in a wad over this. Of course they do. It will expose how the Obama administration lied and weaponized the federal government against American citizens, and during a political campaign in which said target was part of the opposition party.
In addition, how the MSM has been so willing to be a part of it all inside the “Deep State”, as revealed in recently revealed Strzok-Page texts regarding leaks to the media…
Strzok’s lawyer claims that the “media leak strategy” in that text is about an initiative in the DOJ to stop media leaks. He took a swipe at Trump and his supporters, stating that they “are once again peddling unfounded conspiracy theories to mislead the American people.”
Explain this then because texts from Strzok to Page a few days letter let her know that TWO articles would come out about her “namesake” Carter Page, a man connected to Trump’s campaign and the FBI put surveillance on him after the agency received a FISA warrant:
UPDATE: Today we sent an updated letter to DAG Rosenstein, including a newly discovered text + new resulting timeline:
4/12/17: Strzok texts Lisa Page two articles are coming about "her namesake" (Carter Page)
4/10/17: Strzok texts Lisa Page wanting to discuss a "media leaking strategy." 4/12/17: Strzok texts Lisa Page that two articles are coming about "her namesake" (Carter Page) 4/22/17: Strzok texts Page: “article is out!" and "Well done, Page”
That story from the Washington Post stated that the information came from officials “on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of a counterintelligence probe.”
Remember the “memo” Rep. Nunes and republicans were releasing months ago that Schiff and democrats gasped would threaten national security? And then it didn’t…
On @IngrahamAngle, House Intel chair Devin Nunes on Dem claim that declassifying Trump-Russia documents poses great danger: 'I don't know how many times they're going to run that play, but it's laughable that they're saying this is going to somehow endanger national security.'
Andrea, we both know Obama weaponized the DOJ, FBI, et. al. leaders to influence an election. When that failed they attempted to overturn the election.
It is, of course, the greatest scandal in American history.
Really? Huh… You breathless MSM buggers are just POed it's not coming out via your usual 'anonymous senior official' leakage. At this point a Walmart greeter has more journalistic integrity than the lot of the sputtering MSM.
Media that had zero problem uncritically receiving and pushing selective leaks in support of a false narrative are upset with transparency and accountability. A sight to behold. https://t.co/FIgAtkagK5

But once the facts come out it’s the job of a journalist to confront it and ask tough questions https://t.co/s7LrTn6hZ1
An investigation, and public perception conviction and punishing in the leftist-driven MSM and social media, in search of a fictional crime as the actual criminals guilty of the allegations do the “investigating”…
This has been ass-backward from day one, while Obama was still in the White House and he put into motion AG Lynch’s DOJ/FBI fake Russia dossier impetus to lie to and deceive the FISA court judges into OK-ing the spying on an American citizen.

On that senate panel questioning Clarence Thomas at his nomination hearing for the Supreme Court there sat democrats like Joe Biden (who never met a woman or little girl he could keep his hands off of) and Ted Kennedy (who went farther than simple groping to sexual harassment, multiple sexual relationships outside his marriage, and even the death of a young woman he never was held accountable for) … and whatever number of male senators sitting there, whatever party, that had their own sexual skeletons in their closets. I keep hearing the democrats and liberals barking “We’re talking about this man going into a lifetime job on the highest court in this country…”. Except that is a bullshit argument/defense because these are the same people who not only dismissed the allegations/misdeeds of people like Ted Kennedy, and more importantly the multiple allegations (even rape) against Bill Clinton as not important and the women were trailer park trash, etc. And people like Kennedy and Robert Byrd and others served lifetime positions in the US Senate until the day of their deaths. So, don’t give us this bullshit about being stuck with him in the SCOTUS.
The fact is I will never receive justice for being raped by Bill Clinton. Regardless, that does not vacate my right to point out the hypocrisy. Bill Clinton is a rapist who got away with it.
When Bill Clinton was accused of rape and assault, the no votes on impeaching him included Feinstein, Schumer, Durbin. Just saying. And the accusations against Clinton were not about when he was a minor. He was Attorney General of Arkansas and POTUS.
So what would the allegation be if there was *any* actual evidence, or if the accuser could even remember the day or month, or house where the attack occurred? “Super duper credible”?
.@SenSanders has been much quicker to weigh in on the Kavanaugh allegation than the @keithellison allegation — Sanders had "nothing" to say about the accusation against his political ally https://t.co/PFALB4XhNF
Clear you a no-matter-what loyal dem feel a need/obligation to pile on but given YOUR recent scandal you really shld just sit this 1 out. It's like watching Teddy Kennedy grilling CThomas on sexual impropriety or Hillary saying every female accuser shld be believed, except Bill's
BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley says Dianne Feinstein's office is refusing to cooperate in setting up follow-up calls with Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. pic.twitter.com/rApqPkaSCc
After six FBI vettings, and nothing of consequence discovered, the democrats turn to the current weaponized “Me Too” movement to try to demolish Brett Kavanaugh.
Democrat Howard Metzenbaum, a former Communist, assailed the nominee with Anita Hill’s accusations of sexual harassment. Thomas wasn’t going to take it. “And from my standpoint as a black American” he shot back, “it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas.” Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd, a former Ku Klucker, didn’t like Thomas’ pushback, but the black American duly gained confirmation.
As it happens, one of the lawyers representing Anita Hill was Janet Napolitano, and in 1993 President Clinton nominated Napolitano for a U.S. Attorney job. Napolitano refused to answer questions whether she had paid one of Hill’s corroborating witnesses, Susan Hoerchner, to change her testimony. Napolitano duly became the U.S. Attorney for Arizona, the state’s attorney general, then governor of Arizona. In 2009 POTUS 44 tapped Hill’s former attorney for Homeland Security boss.
Napolitano is now president of the University of California, where she has maintained a secret slush fund of $175 million. An eleventh-hour gambit to derail a Supreme Court nominee is certainly Napolitano’s style. And there’s no denying that Feinstein, 85, is highly motivated. Fellow Democrat Kevin de León has narrowed Feinstein’s once formidable lead to only eight points.
The state senate boss has been charging that Feinstein is not tough enough on Trump, telling POLITICO “she has historically demonstrated that she is not willing to take the fight to the Republicans,” and is “very passive in her approach regarding the most important Supreme Court nominee in a generation.’’ Feinstein had the letter about Kavanaugh, the challenger charged, and “she was sitting on it for three months.”
The evidence that Dianne Feinstein is unfit for her office is much stronger than the evidence against Kavanaugh's nomination. Her handling of this surprise allegation against him is far more damning of her than him.
The fact(s) remain(s) that no matter who Pres. Trump would have nominated the democrats and their leftist minions would be treating him/her the exact same way. There are those who have vowed not to vote for anyone the POTUS would select for the SCOTUS. The other fact going on here is the whole bullshit Me Too movement is nothing but a war on white males in this nation. A rich, famous, highly privileged Hollywood actress just got an award for her work in stomping all over them:
Kurt Schlichter has dug up some background himself as to yet another very interesting element in this whole attempt to not only derail Kavanaugh’s nomination/vote/confirmation but train wreck his reputation, future, career, and life, and others are also helping uncover the real effort going on here.
I checked the Montgomery County docket. Brett Kavanaugh's mother was the judge on a house foreclosure case that appears to be the accuser's parents.

The response to Kavanaugh's letter from 65 women who knew him in HS is a letter from 200+ students who … went to the same school as the accuser sometime "between 1967 and 2018"??

Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real in La La Land.
The film industry reliably supports Democrats, typically en masse. The Age of Trump, however, fueled something different and harder to explain from industry dwellers. Stars now besmirch elements of the GOP in ways that would have shocked stars from past generations.
[…]
Enter “The Oath.” The new comedy, from writer/director Ike Barinholtz (“Blockers“), offers a timely subject bursting with satirical potential. The comic actor stars as a progressive news junkie who squares off against his conservative family members during Thanksgiving dinner.
The story follows Barinholtz’s character aghast at a new government “suggestion” that citizens sign a “Patriot’s Oath.” Citizens aren’t compelled to sign, but he worries there may be more to the proposal than meets the eye.
In short order critics of the measure start disappearing, including high-profile progressives like actor Seth Rogen.
Sounds like “The Oath” might pack some star-studded cameos.
Barinholtz says in the film’s notes he conceived of “The Oath” shortly after President Donald Trump’s shocking victory over Hillary Clinton.
“I’ve always been interested in the Hollywood blacklist and the McCarthy hearings,” he says. “The idea of demanding blind loyalty from citizens is something that I find strange and terrifying, and I started seeing shades of it in Trump.”
He doesn’t mention how his fellow stars served up something remarkably similar several times during President Barack Obama’s White House days. Nor is he concerned about a new Blacklist targeting conservatives within his own industry…
Hollywood continues to be the only industry in the U.S.A. that can unceasingly produce and put out expensive faulty/failed products that nobody wants to spend money on, yet, still exist … and without industry ramifications.
