The lie is that they even have noble intentions. They have no real program to improve the lives of the poor, but they damn sure have a plan to rip down those with more. That's envy, plain and simple.
Their only program, their singular and strongly endorsed program is - Oppose Trump At All Times, call it OTAAT. That's it and that is all they ever do or want to do. Their obligation to help run the country, maintain an Army, Navy and Air Force and such? No time for any of that stuff.
These people have never experienced real socialism or communism. I live in Hungary and my husband tells me all about how things really worked until the changes. He took me to some kind of private lake resort some years back, for a look around, where the top party members used to be entertained. Very eye-opening! Those at the top lived secret lives of luxury and privilege, while preaching to the masses about the evils of capitalism. Pure hypocrisy.
The “sharing and caring” party always ends at coercion. Welfare becomes dependency. DEI becomes discrimination. Climate policy becomes taxation and control. Immigration becomes forced subsidy for non-citizens. “Fairness” becomes punishment for the productive. “Democracy” becomes rule by bureaucrats, NGOs, judges, and credentialed scolds. Collectivism never abolishes oligarchy. It replaces private power with political power and calls the new masters public servants. Madison understood what the left denies: men are not angels, especially in government. The question is never whether compassion sounds nice. The question is how they intend to enforce it. The answer is always the same: submit.
The insidious route to the DSP began a looong time ago. LBJ poured the foundation with the "Great Society" which created anything BUT greatness. Then came the teachers' unions where standards for qualifying to be a teacher were seriously diluted. As an adult student in a local University, a core course for my major was also a core course for Ed majors. When the course was offered at the level required for my major, no Ed majors could pass it. So they lowered the standards for the exam and more Ed majors were able to pass but 100% of those in my major aced it. To me, that told a sorry tale. Universities lowered standards rather than provide remedial assistance to those who would be teaching our youth. Years later, I was invited as a professional in the community to address a group of Juniors in the local high school about career choices and requirements. Having arrived early, I was directed to the teachers' lounge. While waiting, a group of women entered the room and appeared to me to be students because of their demeanor and the way they were dressed - in tight leggings and revealing tops and spike heels. (They didn't resemble any teachers I ever learned from). But they were members of the faculty. Combine that with the practice of promoting students to the next grade level without achieving the requirements to pass to the next grade. Then comes DEI and folks are admitted to Universities not because of meeting scholastic standards, but due to race, culture or social credits/deficits and we find ourselves here, in this deplorable situation. Eliminating the Department of Education is a good start, but we have a long way to go to undo the damage that has been done to a system that grants credentials that are meaningless, to students who expect those credentials to be bona fide, only to wake up to find that they fail to meet the expectations of the hiring organizations to which they apply. The responsibility for this ugly situation is widely shared, I agree, but the Democratic Socialist platform is no good solution. Performance standards must be reinforced from Kindergarten to PHD programs nationwide - oh, and leftist ideologies cannot prevail if we are to survive as a nation.
The Socialist Misdirection: American communists, rebranded as compassionate Democrats and democratic socialists, peddle the same soothing lie Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ Party sold: “We care for the people.” They pose as the sharing-and-caring party—fair taxes, healthcare for all, money for the planet instead of “oligarchs.” Emotional extortion at its finest: “Support us or you’re heartless. Buy the magazine or we shoot the dog.”
It’s rope-a-dope misdirection. History’s verdict is brutal. Venezuela’s collapse, Cuba’s prisons, and the hundred-million corpses piled by 20th-century communism stand as warnings. Those falling for this scam will reap the same poverty, tyranny, and body count. Wake up before the caring mask slips and the gulags open.
Democrats have no principles; they are simply the world's best shills for whoever is buying them. Their skill is to wrap every corporate and criminal interest in the costume of Social Justice. The Democratic Party provides its customers with a huge, mindless following that will believe and do everything it is told, all in the name of humanitarianism. Do you make money selling child prostitutes and drugs, or hiring illegal aliens? Well then, step right up, buy yourself a Democrat politician, and watch as they sell your self-serving criminal activity as a great humanitarian cause.

I was a regular National Lampoon reader in my misspent youth. I vividly remember this cover and the one showing an aerial dogfight involving Santa Claus with the caption "Eat death, bloated lackey of the capitalist toy mongers!" Those were the days...
The solution is simple except for the vote-whores in Washington, D.C., who won't go for it. Simply reduce Welfare payments slightly each month to force able-bodied people to find work instead. I remember street sweepers 50 years ago in San Francisco, and others paid to remove graffiti, and still other paid to chip chewing gum off city sidewalks on cold days. There is work for everybody who wants it; the problem being is that it is too easy to do nothing for a living. Welfare offices do not evaluate who really needs welfare vs who is just lazy and unmotivated.
