Will Bernie be raising his arms in middle America?

Bernie loves to raise his arms. Hope he has a good deodorant. Now that the midterms are approaching I wonder if democrats outside the small cadre of fellow socialists will be raising their arms with Bernie? No doubt the DSA manifesto with all its weirdness will be plastered on to those democrats who are running in the general election in districts not littered by the downwardly mobile college educated whites who populate the socialist’s camp.

The republicans will now label every democrat as “DSA” while those democrats will try to ignore the label and run against Trump who certainly has given them enough ammunition – inflation, Iran, ICE, tariffs, cronyism and corruption. My guess is that the DSA will prove to be an albatross around the necks of democrats running to unseat republicans in non-DSA districts. Those democrats in olden years would normally be elected in competitive districts in an off-year election during the reign of an unpopular president. The republicans have tried to minimize their losses through gerrymandering. And now the DSA may have helped them out by electing a few high profile anti-American candidates who want to open our borders, empty prisons, defund the police, abolish the Senate, and other actions that occupy the lunatic fringe. If all this media hype about the surge of socialism in America were true then we should expect to see Bernie in middle America raising the arms of democrats running against republicans. I bet a dollar that won’t happen. Stay tuned.
