    The entire purpose of the democratic party even existing is to counter and subsume spontaneous left movements. If you purpose is to stop socialism, why would you work with socialists?

    This is a party that has killed literally millions of socialists around the world. Lyndon Johnson was a democrat when they lied their way into the Vietnam war. Truman started the Korean War. Johnson also oversaw the murder of 1-2 million socailists in Indonesia, and it just goes on from there. "Socialists" are going to reform that? Might as well try to reform the Nazi party, literally.
    Worse there are people who use the word socialist that belong to that party? It's disgusting.
