From the Daily Idea
"David Horowitz: The Creepy Marxist Take-Over of the Democrat Party." Is originally what this post was about, with former New-Left (now New-Right) commentator David Horowitz talking about what he apparently believes is a Marxist-Communist takeover of the Democratic Party. But what said about the Democratic Party then, is longer available online, except for what I wrote about it here.
David Horowitz is wrong about a big point here: the Bernie Sanders Socialists are at best 1/3 of the Democratic Party right now. And if you don't believe me, just look at Congressional Democrats where the so-called Progressive Caucus in the House (Progressives in name only and Socialists in actuality) have maybe 60 members in a caucus of around 200.
And then you look at the Senate, only Bernie Sanders is a self-described Socialist and then you have people like Ed Markey and perhaps a few others who are very left-wing, but are also very pragmatic and will vote with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer most of the time. Who is a New York Progressive Democrat, but would be an insult to any Socialist anywhere in the world.
The Republican Party has their Far-Right wing of Christian-Nationalists and Nationalists who claim to be Christian, but who are really just anti-minority, anti-women, militiamen. And the Democratic Party has their Far-Left wing made of Socialists (self-described and closeted) who in come cases want to transform the United States into a social democracy, but the radicals of that movement want America to be a socialist state, whether they ever admit it or not.
