So Markos says he wants us to have a debate about socialism.

This is coming from a guy who banned democratic socialists from debating the Democratic primaries in mid-March.

I'm starting to think that "socialism" has become a fad among some Democrats.

If Markos is serious, shouldn't he admit he was wrong on DKos and apologize?

Hah! Of course not. Markos still took a moment to sh*t on Bernie.

It's obvious that the political ground has shifted, and now Markos is rushing to catch up, by co-opting the label. Just like they did to "progressive".



Progressive leaders gathered at the annual Netroots Nation conference sought to deliver a clear message about the Democratic Party's direction headed into the 2020 presidential race: They won't settle for a moderate to take on President Donald Trump.

So no Biden then? We shall see.

I wonder if any of them are just posers?



The moderate speaker, congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio, who spoke last month at a convention convened by the centrist thinktank Third Way, reaffirmed his support for Medicare for All and legalizing marijuana while the most leftwing, socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a call for Democratic unity.

Right. That Third Way convention specifically opposed Medicare for All.

Now he endorses it?? Bullsh*t.

As for Netroots, this is still a problem.



The conference which has a history of disruption by Black Lives Matter activists saw a similar protest on Saturday. But while past events saw activists demand that presidential candidates explicitly state that “Black Lives Matter,” those crowding the stage holding signs saying “#blackasscaucus” were focused on administrative issues.

...

“I see some of you are uncomfortable. Your white fragility is showing. Your white tears are showing – I’m ready to drink them,” one activist told the crowd.

That's not a protest. That's a troll.
