The Democrats are the leftist party: Bernie slams Warren for being a capitalist

I do have some Democratic friends--and they often take exception for my calling Dems leftists. But the Democrats are not the liberal party any more. It's the party of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Bernie Sanders.

The leftist party.

From Fox News:

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders – the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist whose standing in the 2020 primary has become threatened by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s surge in the Democratic primary with progressive voters – is seeking to cut into the support of his rival by dismissing her as a "capitalist."

"There are differences between Elizabeth and myself," Sanders said during an interview Sunday on ABC’s "This Week." "Elizabeth I think, as you know, has said that she is a capitalist through her bones. I’m not."


The comments come amid a rise in socialism in the Democratic Party, as candidates become more willing to openly embrace socialism over capitalism. It also follows polling showing that Democrats now view socialism more positively than they do capitalism.

Last year, when asked if she was a capitalist, Warren reportedly said, "I am a capitalist to my bones."

Until recently "capitalist" was a positive term.

As for Pocahontas, I'm not entirely sure she's a capitalist.
