There is no war and some pushback by "centerists." Okay, these are the people we have to vote to replace with more progressive values:

To push back against recent victories by democratic socialists, 15 centrist Democrats on Thursday announced their support for the “Promise to America” manifesto in which they emphasize their support for capitalism, law enforcement, and “fiscal discipline.”

    Wow the first and most important thing for these politicians is that they are capitalists.

    "We are capitalists, not socialist."

    You heard it here first people. If you are a socialist then you are under no obligation to help the Dems when they try to put yet another empty-suit into office.

    [ps]
    I can't help but point out that they are already failing to meet their own standards

    We are capitalist, not socialist

    ...not disproportionately favor those already at the top.

    Let's think about that one for a second.

    And I'm glad they specify that only full-time work should earn you the most basic standard of living and ignore the capitalist ideal of doing everything you can to pay workers as little as possible.

    Capitalism is incompatible with democracy. Fuck these ghouls.

    Wanting both capitalism and democracy at the same time is like wanting a republic but the lords should own all the land. And then being suprised that the landlords use their ownership of the land as leverage to force unpopular decisions
