Breitbart: Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is no longer left enough for some Democrats, because he has been reluctant to join calls to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
That’s according to the New Republic, once a reliable center-left organ. Writer Sarah Jones has declared that Sanders is “undermining his position as the nation’s most prominent left-wing politician” by suggesting that ICE should be reformed, rather than endorsing the total elimination of border enforcement.
Jones writes:
Sanders could be a source of consistent, left-wing pressure on party leadership, whether or not he runs in 2020. If he intends to build a lasting political movement out of the remnants of his last presidential campaign, he’ll need to become an effective counterweight to the mainstream Democratic Party. But based on his ICE comments and the uneven results of his campaign efforts, Sanders no longer seems like such a sure figurehead for disgruntled Democratic voters.
While Sanders has inspired many on the left, including newest Democratic Party heroine Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, his refusal to abolish ICE outright, Jones argues, means that perhaps he was never such a thought leader after all. “[D]espite his sudden popularity in 2015, Sanders has never been a figurehead to everyone in the American left. … He does not occupy the left-most band of the spectrum,” Jones writes. read more
NOT FAR ENOUGH TO THE LEFT, LMAO!! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!! MORE POPCORN!!
Just remember with any of these Socialists, if yer gonna re-distribute the wealth, first you have to collect it! After that only God knows how much they will “re-distribute”!
That’s a fak Jack!
What !!! ? ! ???? !
Bernie isn’t left enough for the current breed of democrats !?
When he can’t go any further left without
being off the board entirely ?!
Maybe a new ” complex plane ”
needs to be developed for politics
because
The extremism has now reached a
New Dimension .
Bernie being thought of as right wing ?!?
Tell me this is not surrealist extremism !
You know the Dems have jumped the shark when Crazy Bernie is their voice of reason. Can’t wait for Barack to hit the campaign trail and finish them off.
And here I thought it was his million dollar annual income and 3rd house with a private beach purchased in a trust to avoid taxes.
He didn’t lose it he sold it for about a million a year. I guess his moral grounding was located in his wallet.
