I realize you depend upon the MSM for your information, but yes, for several decades (more recently) many democrats supported a dictator named Fidel Castro. Starting with BHO, then you had Karen Bass, Bobby Rush, Laura Richardson, Barbara Lee and others. Even Bernie Sanders expressed his support of the Cuban revolution then try to say he thought Castro was too authoritarian.
Right, lots of left wingnuts supported Castro. Throw in Jane Fonda for good measure. Doesn't prove anything.
Yet we have them complaining the US had no right to apprehend him.
From a purely legal perspective they might be correct. I'd go so far as to say that it's the opposition's job to challenge what the party in power does - one of the motivators behind Congressional oversight. Shouldn't be while hostilities are in progress though.
Don't kid yourself, he had his admirers in US politics and if they could he would be set free.
I have no doubt that's true, but it's far from the party's position, or even the majority position.
No it's not. As the democrat party has embraced Marxism it's the next logical step for them.
The extreme progressive left now runs the democrat party.
Oh, they'd like to. But again, I don't think this is a
fait accompli, at least not yet. Keep pushing extreme rhetoric, though, and it's likely to come to pass.
The party as a whole has NOT embraced Marxism... so far. What worries me is that so many Gen Z'ers see nothing wrong with so-called Democratic Socialism. Do you think Mamdani's victory was just a NYC thing? I think it's an ominous sign. I can't find the reference right now, but I recently saw a projection that Gen Z and the Millennials will dominate the voting demographics by some date - 2035 I think it was, might have been sooner.
The worst thing we can do is demonize the Democrat party as a whole. All that does is push people who are not sold on MAGA further into the hands of a party that is trending ever further leftward. There is, after all, such a thing as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
