Here's a prediction, and let's hope it never comes to fruition. If the Democrats win in 2020, America will be a socialist country before the end of the term.

You have Ocasio who upset the #4 in the Democratic Party. You have Sanders saying openly that he is a socialist. You have actors and comedians like Jim Carey telling you to "call it socialism" You have everyone in the Dem Party catering to the alt-left, you have more than 50% of Democrat voters for the first time ever saying they are "liberal". You have a high number of college students saying they support COMMUNISM (though they can't even define or describe it with any accuracy).

If you guys want to put your heads in the sand, you do so at your own peril. America will quickly become a socialist nation, especially with so many illegally entering America who are poor, and so many Snake Oil salesmen telling you how great big, intrusive government is.

You heard it here. This isn't fearmongering, I've been seeing this happen in the U.S via your TV shows, talk shows and in particular the posting of opinions in various forums. They are using the same angles they used in Ontario and we are broke without American jobs and subsidies.

Joe Lieberman says he hopes Ocasio-Cortez is not ‘the future’ of Democratic party

Former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Thursday he's hopeful Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is not the future of the Democratic Party, arguing it must remain closer to the political center in order to have broader appeal.

“With all respect, I certainly hope she’s not the future and I don’t believe she is," Lieberman said told host Neil Cavuto on Fox Business Network.

"She's gotten a lot of attention because she's different. She's controversial," Lieberman continued. "But if you look at the majority of new Democrats in the House, they tend to be, I say, center-left, if they are not left-left. And that is because they had to be center-left to win some of those competitive swing districts that they took from Republicans."

The delicious irony of the OP here especially its title, is that here's a guy who was shown the door as regards the future of his party back in 2006, purporting to opine on what the future of that same party is now.
