    They’re not even Republicans from 10-20 years ago. They’re Republicans from five years ago.

      Yes because Republicans from five years ago would definitely have all the largest union leaders and several socialists speaking at their convention.

        If they were speaking at the DNC, they were not socialists. They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.

          So Bernie and AOC aren’t socialists now?

          They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.

          Uh? No they didn’t? Did you even watch the convention? They had a few Republicans and cops who spoke for less than ten minutes each. Meanwhile they had dozens of women of color, and women’s rights were one of the main themes of the entire convention.

            Why would they watch the conversation when you can just make up what you feel probably happened based on emotion?

            Lemmy has a real feelings = facts problem and it’s sad.

                  Yes, he also supports forcefully cooperativizing companies over time. He wanted to create a program to gradually have a federally backed buyout of the largest 1000 U.S companies, with mandatory partial worker ownership of any company over a certain number of employees, and mandatory votes for the corporate boards for workers.

                  Here was the plan from the campaign.
