Lucky them.
Popcorn anyone?
That’s 5 out of 50 alderman. I guess that’s how socialism starts.
Your article comments on who endorsed them, not what they ran on. Why is that a problem?
Conservatives are completely clueless about how they themselves LOVE socialism!

Why do Trump conservatives hate democracy?
We wouldn’t even be having this movement if, for the last 100 years, rich people hadn’t been buying off politicians to make themselves richer.

No, no, would you get with the program? If it’s something they DON’T like then it’s socialism. If it’s something they DO like then it’s “for the public good”.
There just stupid they haven’t fully realized the joys of socialism.

You want to see socialism in action? Go to an Indian reservation.
