A Democratic strategist just dropped this gem: "They are not Democrats; they are socialists, and they are parasites. They cannot win on their own by creating their own party, so they are going to latch onto the Democratic Party and feed off of it, with the overall goal of taking it over and killing it." She was talking about progressives in the party. The language is pure antisemitic trope. Calling a Jewish political group "parasites" that "feed off" institutions and work to "take over" is the exact playbook they've used for centuries. This isn't coded, it's just text. Zero consequences. Party leadership stays silent. This is the state of Democratic politics.
