In before one of the "umm their family members could have been threaten!!!"(I still remember that iron dome garbage thread) "They are misunderstood" "They are still net good". Social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism and these shitstain will go down in history as cowards who stood in line with American fascism.

    In before one of the “umm their family members could have been threaten!!!”

    I mean, its a textbook argument for why entryism doesn't work (unless you're doing it Jan 6th style and even then...)

    Four congresscritters land seats in the 435 seat body. They try to do literally anything and immediately become the focus of endless investigations and targeted harassment and hate-propaganda by a political body that sees them as an infection of their organism.

    The congresscritters are then either cowed into compliance (:AyyyyyOC:), sidelined to irrelevance (:aoc-rashida:, :punished-bernie: ), or ousted via scandal/primary/small-engine-airplane-crash (:al-franken-defeated:, :eric-cantor-defeated:, :paul-wellstone-rip:)
