2. They should change the name of their party...

Democratic Socialist is now toxic.

How about something more patriotic sounding... National Socialist!

Yeah, that's the ticket.

4. Some people have asked here "what is the radical left?"

Well here you have an example.

There are many elements on the far left that support Russia. Russia by no means the only issue far left and the far right have in common.

It's one of the issues that gives a lot of credence to the horseshoe theory of politics.

What Republicans have done though is linked these assholes to us and convinced many Americans they are the same thing as progressive Democrats. What we as progressive Democrats have failed to do and need to start doing is making it loud and clear that these idiots are by no means on our team.
