I'd love to see them review this thread and combine it with one of the many other threads on this topic.
You know, the ones I posted upthread and you refused to read.
I think I told you I have no interest in re-hashing your previously stated opinions.
I also don't appreciate you trolling my current thread.

However, you are more than welcome and encouraged to participate.

Would you?
Why or why not?

I posted a simple question which has been routinely ignored.

You are not clever, your disingenuous.

Why can't any of you simply answer the question?

Would you vote for a Congressman who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America?

(yes I know you want to change the dialogue but that is the question and has been all along, I can only assume Ive really hit a chord here)

Simply answer the question or quit trolling.
I'm not personally familiar with the DSA and their officials and I can't seem to find any candidates for elected office listed on their website. This idea might be new to you but I vote for candidates based off their policy positions. And since I can't find a DSA candidate on their site I can't dissect their positions enough to give you a ya or nah... There are a few individuals on your link that I like but for some particular reason I can't seem to find them listed on the DSA official website.

Present something factual, and I might respond.
I'm not the one trolling here...

So, you refuse to review threads where your premise has been debunked?

Fair enough,
Thank you.

Yet, you buy liberal ideology.

Any thinking person would instantly reject such tripe.

Why haven't you linked to some credible sources?

The names the OP listed are members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. They are not socialists. Please stop these stupid posts.

"Progressive" is a liberal code word for socialist.

It was adopted after the term liberal was associated with socialism due to the left's enacted agenda.

It is hilarious how the loony left tries to disassociate themselves from their socialist intentions.

Why not just be honest, and up front about their communist plans?

^^ and socialist is supposed to be a bad thing?

Anyway, a progressive is somebody who believs in individual liberty and economic fairness, or leans in that direction on the political spectrum. They dont have to be as far to the left as a socialist.
