The Socialists have infiltrated the Democratic Party & are changing the narrative. Its obvious.

The question is not HOW they did it. We know that.

The questions are 1. WHY 2. And WHEN did this start?

Here's my tweet history of the Green New Deal.

We know in both 2012 and 2016 the Green Party ran Jill Stein on a failed 3rd party platform of the Green New Deal.

This was a predictable failure. In fact, it was predicted back in the 1980s by the first leader of the Democratic Socialists of America, Michael Harrington.
This is WHEN it all started. A generation ago. The 1980s.

Here's Harrington's history.

Harrington knew 3rd parties could not succeed. So he decided the best way to succeed as a 3rd party was to infiltrate an existing party and take it over from within. There's a video embedded in theresurgent.com/2019/02/11/del… Start at 6:30. See further down for a stand alone clip.

Harrington: "...the way to get a new party in the US, ironically, is not by starting one... but is by transforming an old party." In the video he explains why he purposely chose the "miserable" Dem Party.

The Justice Democrats platform is Harrington, almost word for word

30 years later, that is exactly what is going on right now. The Socialists got themselves elected as Democrats in far left districts and are lurching the party far left. See this article by @ScotsFyre

And the Socialists are not even shy about it anymore. Here's Vox quoting leftist Sean McElwee, stating the Green New Deal is designed to get as much "socialist bullshit" as possible.

Sean is the co-founder of Data For Progress, the group that published the (new) Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal is a perfect example- proof- of what Harrington was declaring in the 1980s. Jill Stein & her Green Party GND was laughable at the time. Just 3 years later the Socialist are mainstreaming her failed 3rd party agenda onto Capitol Hill as Democrats.

Look here. The headline is "Liberal Democrats Formally Call for a Green New Deal Giving Substance to a Rallying Cry." That headline is from the New York Times, not some Socialist rag.

The point? This is no accident. Michael Harrington, the Father of the Democratic Socialists of America, set this in motion in the 1980s, before today's Socialist megaphone "That Girl" was even born.

Michael Harrington, the Father if the Democratic Socialists of America, setting forth in the 1980s what is undeniable now the Socialist infiltration of the Democratic Party.

Michael Harrington: The Father of the Democratic Socialists of American and the architect of the Socialists infiltration of the Democratic Party.
