What this is actually about:

This is pure Republican PR. They included a poison pill in the resolution so that Democrats would vote against it, and then they can associate those Democrats with socialism. The reality is that far more than 8 Democrats would have voted in favor of the resolution of it hadn't included that.

So democrats hate their left flank so much, they're happy to assist their best buddy trump in killing democracy.

Complicit. All the time.

So the idiotic democratic politicians prefer to vote with republicans than be associated with socialism when dems will learn to stop getting preoccupied about what the republicans fascists think of them

If the DSA were pro-genocide, centrists wouldn't be siding with trump yet again.
