Pretending FDR was a democratic socialist, that the majority of Americans agree with populist ideas so they're democratic socialists too, they just don't know it yet. There will be a left and right alliance and the working class revolution will begin, but the corrupt corporate Democrats will stop at nothing to prevent it. That the Tea Party was grassroots and look how they took over the Republican Party -- the Democratic Party must be taken over the same way. The only ones who will fight for the working class are the populist saviors. Send three grassroots dollars now to help us take on the establishment.
This is all very exciting, and it feels good to be in the club, have lots of buzzwords to call Democrats names, blame evil establishment enemies for everything. But it's a fantasy that only helps Republicans.
