Socialist snow on the streets

Socialist KIDS SUCKING ON SOCIALIST LOLIPOPS
Socialist poetry in socialist mouths
aren’t the birds frozen socialists?
Aren’t the snowclouds blocking the airfield
Social Democratic Appearances?
Isn’t the socialist sky owned by
the socialist sun?
Earth itself socialist, forests, rivers, lakes
furry mountains, socialist salt
in oceans?
Isn’t this poem socialist? It doesn’t
belong to me anymore.

First, let's notice that Trump is tearing the nation apart but legal actions against him go no where.
Because Trump isn't Jewish this seems to be ignored, including the fact that he has made some pretty damning comments about women and even his own daughter.
Meanwhile, the author of this piece is taking a very broad McCarthy-like brush to Sanders --
Ginsberg is Jewish -- and Sanders is, as well -- therefore, Sanders must be guilty of something.
Because Ginsberg and Sanders both "Socialist" then there must also be something wrong with socialism....
Except that this is a liberal nation and a large majority of the nation supports democratic socialism.
Trump seems to have been backed by Elites to run and protected by them ever since.
Especially from legal actions -- and even having to provide his tax returns for public viewing.
And, it also looks like those same Elites are trying to make sure that they get Sanders out of their way, one way or the other.
Besides simply being another opportunity for those involved putting their hatred for Jews on view ...
this is an obvious attempt at a smear and will likely work because smears usually do.
If there is anything to think about here to be met with an open mind, it defeats itself by itself.

This has nothing to do with a smear from some of us. It is reporting the facts as uncomfortable as they might be. Have no idea about the title to this post but links provided are extensive. They were also reported by Mother Jones not exactly a conservative smear rag.
As far as Democratic Socialism do not want to get into a philosophical debate but would argue against your facts "most people support democratic socialism" What does that even mean? Were these stats taken from a Poll?
Many people due not understand socialism or "democratic socialism" as the soft entry point for everyone into complete control all while the elite or 1% get even richer. Why do you think they have been driving everyone to that point. They want you here in fact they are counting on it and will continue to cause mass chaos until we willfully except it like a spoonful of sugar with medicine.
None of these people in Washington DC would themselves live in Democratic Socialism as you say including Bernie Sanders. His wife was just on a cable news show last week where she was forced to admit they actually are the 1% Bernie rails against publicly as the host talked about their three homes and property, etc. she was not happy.
I don't mind he can earn all the money he wants but it is a little hypocritical for all these government workers whose salaries you can read on-line to all live in multi-million dollar homes. How does that work when they file their taxes? And since Pelosi & others were exposed in the Panama papers linked to shells who else do you think have off shore accounts & tax havens we have no idea about.
BTW Bernie and his wife have been under investigation by the DOJ since last year involving a University, money, houses, etc. That is not a smear it is the truth it was announced they have retained top attorneys now.

Jem --
I'd be very happy to discuss this with you -- as long as you are no part of the united effort here to spread hatred and intolerance here for any group of people.
As I trust you will agree, there are a small percentage of people among us who will do violence in order to gain control over others and that they are represented in every group, each gender, every race and every religion. But that no entire nation can be condemned, nor any entire race of people, nor any entire religious group.
The American public is liberal and supports government programs to support the common good. However, if you have noticed we had immediate betrayal on that issue by the Founders. Americans in polls have shown that they support socially responsible programs based in democratic socialism -- Medicare, Social Security, libraries, public education, National Health Care for All, funding of Planned Parenthood, Abortion/Choice ... on and on.
Socially responsible government does NOT enrich Elites -- this is why FDR and New Deal were such a threat to Elites. If you recall, up until even 1976, the wealthy were still losing their ability to monopolize wealth. See the Memo by (later) SC Justice Lewis Powell http://reclaimdemocracy.org/powell_memo_lewis/ (Corporate blueprint to dominate democracy.)
The threat we face is from the right wing -- Royals who morphed into corporations -- Elites/wealthy were put in control by our own Founders, endowed with land grants, given immense influence and control over our people's government, the nation's wealth and natural resources.
The nation's wealth was re-distributed to Elites. Read the Constitution.
Do you think the poor protected the system of Slavery? Or that the poor wanted the Civil War? Or that the population benefitted from being split into two camps of racist hatred which still echoes today?
Don't know what you've been reading, but start from the beginning and rethink what you are saying.
Why this hatred for Bernie Sanders? His campaign last spring and fall only discussed liberal issues which most of the nation supports. What of those programs don't you support?
It is the right wing which is the threat to peace in the world as you should be able to clearly see... Do you think the poor run the MIC or Congress? Do you think the poor want wars and destruction to other nations? Of course not. It is Elites and corporations who profit from these wars and takeover of other nations and their resources. Do you think it is the poor out there seeking control over other nation's OIL, for instance?
Do you think that Trump who is undeniably part of the 1% would even come near discussing the issues that Bernie Sanders promoted and discussed and united the public behind?
Trump has just this week made clear to you that only Elites are fit to run government -- !!
Is Bernie Sanders costing us taxpayers $20 million every weekend so he can spend the weekend in Florida at his resort? Come down to earth on that one.
The corruption that we suffer of our government is brought about by Elites/corporations -- not by the poor who seem to see as such a threat.
And that corruption is brought about by right wing violence because that is the only way that the right wing can rise. That has always been true and it is still true today.
And start with the "invaders" for Elites who brought Slavery and death to natives on this land while they stole their land for Elites. Did you really think that was a case of the poor coming to steal native American land?
Bernie is attacking the banks and they are attacking him back.
You have to get away from this over-focus on individuals and start looking at concepts and get a higher perspective on what is happening in this country.
Hillary didn't start wars of "regime change" all over the Middle East -- and create refugees everywhere -- for the benefit of the poor. Hillary did that for the benefit of the Elite represented in the CIA/MIC and our corrupted government.
