Democrats are losing their minds. This is crazy.
And a Democrat governor of this red state just endorsed socialism.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear just made it plain where the modern Democratic Party stands.
On CNN’s The Situation Room, the Democrat openly embraced the “big ideas” pushed by socialist candidates running under the Democrat Party’s banner.
Beshear did not distance himself from the radicals. He celebrated them.
“I think what Democratic voters want is a country that works for them. And right now they’re working hard. They’re playing by the rules, but they’re not getting ahead. The average age of first time homeownership is 40 years old,” Beshear stated.
“They can’t take their kids on the same vacation that they went on, and they see a federal government with President Trump that is as corrupt as any we’ve ever seen, enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else.”
“So I think what voters want is to fix the economy, which means bring down prices, end the war in Iran, invest in housing, and they want this government fixed too. So I believe it’s time for big ideas, which many of these candidates are throwing out.”
There it is. A sitting Democratic governor treating socialist candidates as the solution to everyday struggles.
Housing costs, family budgets, and government waste somehow become reasons to hand the microphone to people who want to nationalize industries and redistribute wealth by force.
Beshear kept going. He insisted the party must stay wide open:
“I think the Democratic Party has to be a big tent party, where people can have different ideas on how we solve a problem, as long as we agree that that problem exists.”
Different ideas, he says. As if democratic socialism is just another policy tweak instead of a proven formula for economic stagnation and government control.
The average American family does not need more central planning. They need lower energy costs, secure borders, and an end to the regulatory stranglehold that keeps wages flat and prices high.
Then came the predictable jab at the press for noticing the chaos inside his own party.
“I mean, right now the media is obsessed with differences in the Democratic Party when the differences between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are so stark,” Beshear said.
Stark differences exist, all right. One side still believes in private property, legal immigration, and energy abundance. The other side increasingly treats those principles as optional or even hostile.
Welcoming DSA candidates is not some minor internal debate. It is an admission that the socialist wing now sets the direction.
