Moderate Dems Fear Socialist Label Will Give House Back to Republicans

WFB: Centrist Democrats are concerned the socialist label being applied to the party will turn away voters and place the House of Representatives back in the hands of the Republican Party.

“As we run up to this presidential [election], we need to show that Democrats, as a whole, are not socialists,” Democratic Rep. Katie Hill said. “We’re not pushing for impeachment without serious cause and serious evidence.”

The freshman congresswoman represents a purple district in California.

The media attention secured by some of her fellow freshman Democrats—Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), and Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.)—has prompted moderates to work with voters and donors to try to preserve the Democrats’ House majority, Politico reports.

“You have these four members frankly that were elected from seats that are going to be Democratic no matter what and represent a very small fraction of the party as a whole,” Hill said. “And it’s like they’re the only ones that exist.”  MORE

  1. The only Democrats that might bristle at the Socialist label are the irredeemable basket of deplorables. And they’re so hopeless, even Oprah is just waiting for them to die. Are you sure this wasn’t a Post-It from the Socialist Republicans? That got knocked off The Party notice board? And somebody just guessed it was from the Democratic squad?

  2. The cat is out of the bag, the real democratic party has come out of the closet.

    Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley share the same platform and stance on issues as the so-called real democrats in Congress. The only difference is they are not lying to the voters about what they believe.
    The “old” democrat party died a long time ago, meet the new socialist democrats, just like the moderate socialist democrats, but in your face America.

  3. And how many Americans would agree with this:

    “You know, I have a country. But I don’t have a party.”

    I suspect it’s a very similar group to this one:

    “I believe in God but I don’t have a religion.”

  4. And isn’t that what’s it’s all about anyway?
    No matter the issue, costs, economic impact or the future of the country, it’s only important they maintain a seat at the trough.
    And that goes for both parties.

  5. Infanticide is not “Moderate.” The jig is up, thank God. There is a clear and definitive choice now, the party of Death, Destruction, Corruption, Debauchery and Greed, i.e., the Uniparty, versus Trump and us. I pray we win.

  6. A terrible, bloody Rubicon was crossed by the so called Democrats with the recent infanticide support votes. As far as I can see it if you remain with a group that can find excuses to murder infants after birth you have become one of Them. Once a cannibal, always a cannibal. Only God can forgive that kind of sin and you don’t believe in Him.
