192 House Dems refuse to disavow socialism in telling vote ahead of midterms: ‘Insidious movement’
Almost every House Democrat on Tuesday voted against a congressional resolution disavowing socialism and calling for the enactment of President Trump’s election security bill.

The non-binding resolution, introduced by Rep. Jeff Crank (R-Colo.), asked lawmakers to condemn and denounce “socialism in all its forms,” including the increasingly influential Democratic Socialists of America movement, and oppose the implementation of socialist policies in the US.

The resolution passed in a 220-192 vote, with 192 Democrats opposing the measure.

Eight Democrats voted with all Republicans in support of the resolution: Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Darren Soto (D-Fla.), Jared Golden (D-Maine),
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.), Don Davis (D-NC) and Gabe Vasquez (D-NM).

Two Democrats voted present: Reps. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH).

“The DSA candidate platform stands in direct contrast to our republic,” Crank charged ahead of the vote. “Getting rid of the United States Senate, open borders, defunding the police, allowing non-citizens to vote in federal elections — those aren’t consistent with our Constitution.

“DSA is an insidious movement within the Democratic Party.”

Let’s not kid ourselves, Rep Crank; this is but a sign o’ the times, no more, no less. The D卐M☭CRATs are and have for many years been far more socialist than not.

The fact that no more than eight (8) of these foul fiends could bring themselves to openly stake out a position flatly denouncing a totalitarian/authoritarian ideology which—in addition to the misery, human suffering, and staggering number of deaths it has directly inflicted—stands in diametric opposition to and contradiction of the Founding principles upon which this once-great nation still (nominally, shakily) stands. The self-serving cowardice seen here says everything we’ll ever need to know about the contemptible shitweasels.

Forget about actually opposing socialism/Marxism/Communism/whatevs. Forget about taking effective action to reverse socialism’s slo-mo creep through American government, institutions, and culture. Forgot about the gormless, puling invertebrates troubling themselves to take a stand for their own country, its people, and its future, if any. Forget about the fact that socialism has filed every time, in every place and circumstance, in which it has tried. Forget about all that; these D卐M☭CRAT dastards couldn’t even muster the cojones to make the non-binding token gesture that a “Yea” vote would’ve amounted to.

My God, even their dishonesty is fundamentally dishonest, it would seem.

So sure, let them crawl, let them creep; let them writhe and dissemble all they like trying to mumble, grumble, mutter, and moan their way out of the spot they’ve put themselves in. Whatever barrage of duplicity and/or misrepresentation they attempt to cloak themselves with, the factual reality of who and what they are speaks for itself, period fucking DOT. Trust the treacherous, venomous serpents at your own grave peril, and don’t be acting all surprised when you get yourself bitten, either.

“Insidious,” you said? Sorry, Charlie, “insidious” don’t even BEGIN to cover this.
