Dems Don’t Fear Communists. They Just Hate Losing Their Jobs
The article discusses recent political developments in New York where self-identified democratic socialists, often equated with communists, have secured electoral victories, including primary wins over incumbent Democrats. this has led to concern among Democratic Party leaders about thier own seats being challenged and lost to these candidates.Jonah Goldberg criticizes the Democratic Party for fostering organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America, which he believes threaten to destabilize the party. The article argues that Democrats intentionally recruited anti-American socialists and imported voters from abroad, resulting in their own electoral setbacks as these newcomers challenge existing incumbents. The shift signals that more communists may soon hold office, but party leadership appears unconcerned, focusing rather on other priorities. The piece highlights how the Democratic Party’s strategic moves have inadvertently empowered their ideological opponents, with recent elections in New York exemplifying this trend.
There’s this idea passed around online, mostly by naive conservatives, that the spate of victories this week in New York for self-identified “democratic socialists” — a nice name for communists — is a nightmare for Democrat leaders in Washington who are now panicking that the party’s brand will become toxic, thus costing it future elections. That’s a wild misread.
Party leadership isn’t afraid of yet more communists getting elected. They’re just mad that they and their friends are losing their own seats to them.
Jonah Goldberg, a content creator who calls himself a conservative, and who appears to wear a silky almond-colored dishtowel as a hairpiece, lamented Thursday that “the Democrats have nurtured an organization, the Democratic Socialists of America, that is determined to effectively destroy the Democratic Party in a hostile takeover.” He said Democrats have “literally no clue how to deal with it.” The implication from Goldberg is that Democrats are in a bit of a pickle, having created an uncontrollable monster for short-term gain, now finding themselves in a state of regret.
That’s not it. Democrats are getting exactly what they wanted, if not exactly how they wanted. They appealed to and recruited anti-American communists, largely by importing their voters from the Third World, and cultivated their electoral power one election at a time. The only problem for them is that now the Democrats — whose entire life’s purpose is being in Congress — are seeing their own seats challenged by the very people they wanted in the party. They either didn’t anticipate that part or it came before they were ready.
In New York alone, two Democrat incumbents just lost their primaries to communists. An open seat has been all but secured by a third one. The newcomers were opposed by party leadership, which is normal, because party leaders essentially always back the incumbent or the more “electable candidate,” which is synonymous with “the candidate who is likely to go along with party leadership in Washington.”
And so it appears that three (more) communists are on their way to the capital. It’s a bitter goodbye to the incumbents for party leaders, but they’ll move on in short order. They’re not afraid of having more communists in office. Republicans and conservatives who think that’s the case are deluding themselves.
