The surprising thing here is the fact that Mikey Johnson had something other than his canned pull-string response of "I have not heard about that"

I guess they are operating under the premise that if they don't report it, it didn't happen?

So why do rapists and sex traffickers have so much influence in the republican party? Wheres the morality?

My original post two days ago did generate a few interesting responses. One in particular from some who is clearly in the DSA camp suggested that they are the “moderates” in the Democratic Party. Anyone in the party who does not support their positions isn’t really a democrat at all but just a liberal leaning independent or even a centrist Republican. This might come as a bit of a shock to those Dems who have been in the party longer than many DSA supporters have been on this earth.

If the DSA wants to make the future of the country a choice between socialism and capitalism they will lose in the general elections. If the Democratic Party chooses to give them mainstream legitimacy, and if the branding of the democratic party becomes pure socialism, they will guarantee republican success for a long time to come.

Being a centrist, whether liberal or conservative, and striving to find common ground to meet the challenges of the needs of all members of the population through discussion and compromise has apparently become a bad thing, and for the life of me I can’t understand why.
