Democrat Socialists Blame US, NATO for War
It sounds like Democrats have a problem on the left flank.
I've been told that this POV is anti-American and means they love Putin.
I've also been told that this opinion means that person needs to move to Russia and suck Putin's love canoe.
In a statement that swiftly drew criticism from across the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialists of America condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and called on the United States ''to withdraw from NATO and to end the imperialist expansionism that set the stage for this conflict.''
Four House Democrats are avowed members of the DSA: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, both of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Cori Bush of Missouri. And Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., considers himself a democratic socialist and was endorsed by the group in his campaign.
In the New York City area, where the DSA's largest chapter holds considerable political sway, it has also created a complicated dynamic for politicians associated with the group.
In New York's 16th Congressional District, a refugee from Kosovo is making foreign policy a key element of his primary challenge of Bowman, a former Yonkers middle school principal whose ascent to Congress was supported by the DSA.
