The day before Halloween, Sen Bernie Sanders tweeted a video of a socialist sermon he delivered to « The Squad » of New Socialist Women in Congress, touting a « Green New Deal » and banning private health insurance to have a « Medicare for All » system Their goal is to make Biden the most socialist president imaginable – or, in safer terminology, « the most progressive president since FDR »
Biden’s running mate Sen Kamala Harris signed Bernie’s Socialist Senate healthcare bill and proposed climate equity law with Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
So it’s funny that PolitiFact’s « independent fact-checkers » threw a big « fake » red flag at President Donald Trump for declaring that « socialism is the mainstream of the Biden campaign, and it doesn’t is not the mainstream of america »Amy Sherman of PolitiFact insisted » Biden and Harris reject Trump’s label of socialism «
Like all other Democrats, she complained, « Republicans have used socialist etiquette to attack Democrats and their policies for decades, including on programs like Medicare or Social Security that eventually became popular on both sides of the aisle »Democrats are betting they can continue to socialize the economy while denying the S word
This defense is fascinating, since PolitiFact allowed leftists to label Trump a « fascist », « Nazi » and « dictator » almost every day without pulling out his little red pencil for CNN to do a « fact check « sounding like a defense of Trump, CNN’s Brian Stelter must have featured on national television a crazed guest who claimed Trump would be more murderous than Hitler, Stalin and Mao combined
Sherman insisted, « Socialism refers to a government takeover of industry, and Biden did not ask for this Experts say his positions on health care, energy and d other areas are those of a moderate democrat and not of a socialist « What would these people do without » experts « to endorse their liberal views?
And Biden is a « moderate Democrat? » In 2020, a « moderate democrat » is someone who wants to end capitalism in 20 years instead of 10 The transition to a single-payer health care system is heading towards this « government takeover » of the health insurance
This PolitiFact rotation control exercise ended with Sherman saying, « There is no support for the claim that Biden wants the US to be like Cuba or Venezuela. We rate this claim as False » But Biden has created a platform of « unity » with Bernie Sanders, who strongly resists being in a hurry to speak badly about Cuban or Venezuelan socialism
Skip Biden’s July 9 speech in which he said: « It is high time to end the era of shareholder capitalism – the idea [that] a corporation’s sole responsibility is to its shareholders « PolitiFact was also there to protect Biden from criticism of this claim. Facebook users published articles in response claiming Biden’s vague speech posed a threat to people’s retirement investments PolitiFact insisted that these comments were « mostly bogus » – clearly to put the brakes on conservative Facebook posts
PolitiFact ended the fall campaign by flagging Trump as « Mostly False » or worse 52 times in September and October He only scored one « Mostly True » for President, and nothing was rated « True » « His running mate, Vice President Mike Pence, was criticized with a » Pants on Fire « , three « False » and a « Half True » «
The idea that PolitiFact is a trustworthy site for your fact-checking needs is nonsense, unless you’re looking for poorly disguised Democratic Party assessments of the candidates’ position Socialism is in the mainstream of the Democratic Party today and the Biden-Sanders « unity » platform emphasizes that the Biden-Harris ticket is a socialist ticket
