Description: The disease of Democrat Socialism is slowly spreading throughout three groups of people: urban consumers, immigrants, and DEI advocates.   Their symptoms and agenda include everything abnormal to traditional American policy: open borders, amnesty for illegal immigration, and the conflation of citizenship with mere residency.   Their methodology is to run in select blue cities in local elections, giving them a chance to out-fund and out-perform the Democrats. And if they do that well, socialism could spread throughout the entire Democrat Party.   Socialists can’t afford to create a third party, so they’re simply taking over another. 👉Pepperdine School of Public Policy -  visit https://go.pepperdine.edu/dailysignal to learn Learn more about your ad choices.
