To be clear, there is a strong thread of authoritarianism also woven into the fabric of the #DemocraticParty. This is the cancer at the heart of #SocialLiberalism in America.
This is why the #DemocraticParty is such an ineffective opposition. This is how we got #Biden, #Harris, #Pelosi, #Feinstein, #Lieberman, #Lautenberg, and #Schumer, among many other #Democrats who have carried and still carry the torch for the military/security/police/prison-industrial complex, while claiming to be "left".
