Not the way I saw it. Pelosi was opposed to impeachment, knowing it would backfire (which it did), but somehow she caved to AOC. Who IS this little pipsqueak coming in, totally inexperienced, minimal sense of reality (the earth will end in 12 years? Really?), and running circles around seasoned politicians? I just don't get it.
Personally, she is just a bone thrown at voters to give us the illusion that we all have a vote. In reality, her head got too big and like someone else said, she was brought behind closed doors and had a stern talking to. I doubt she will cause anymore problems, or if she does, it will be orchestrated by a well oiled machine to keep the people bickering and fighting while the ones at the top continue to erode our rights.
Sanders is a New Dealer. An FDR democrat. Advocating for health care for all Americans, a living wage, higher Social Security benefits and getting big money out of politics. Hardly radical stuff.
It's only radical to the far right - which goes further right towards fascism every year.

It's not. At least Bernie won't be appointing family members to top WH positions that they are absolutely unqualified for.
Cuba and Venezuela are both poverty stricken socialist crap-holes.
Norway and Sweden are not socialist at all, they both have strong capitalist economies. It confuses me when socialist democrats praise the Scandinavian countries, maybe someone should tell them that those nations aren't actually socialist.
And has Sanders ever even laid out exactly how he plans to fund his multi-trillion dollar programs, other than to say "the rich will pay for it"?
(This thread really SHOULD be in politics. Not sure why it was moved here, but perhaps a mod will move it back.)
No, he hasn't, but the best way to do this is to put a stop to outsourcing of jobs and to make sure companies here are paying a high standard living wage to all American citizens. The European countries can afford their social programs because they make sure the jobs stay in their country and that their citizens are the ones hired, not illegals.
I know several European countries, you can't even be a construction worker without a 4 year college degree.
But, like I said, Bernie may have some agendas that could be good for the country, but he is clueless and too radical in how to go about attaining those agendas.
Besides Sander's socialism threatening to destroy the economy, and ultimately the country, we could also expect him to place the America-hating Squad members in top roles, even perhaps Cabinet positions. He has already praised the most idiotic, inexperienced representative in Congress - AOC - as a remarkable, accomplished woman who will get a key role in his WH. Beyond that, can you imagine having Omar, another big supporter of Sander's (and the admiration seems mutual), who stood by his side and praised him for "fighting Western Imperalism" assigned something like, say, the head of the State Department? And what about Tlaib, another darling of the progressive radical Squad, who draped herself in the Palestinian flag and partnered with an anti-semitic group to fund her trip to "Palestine"? (Imagine if Lee Zeldin draped himself in an Israeli flag upon his election.)
I think Sanders intention to weaken the country by placing America-haters in the WH and flood the nation with illegal immigrants by promising them taxpayer benefits (including health care and free college) would be grounds for impeachment on Day 1.

Because Democratic Socialists are actually capitalists arguing for a strong social safety net.

You don’t know what you are talking about. Don’t spew this non-sense online. They all outsourcing their jobs.
Trump will not allow it. Sanders is a declared communist. That is a problem.
