You might want to sit down for this, but I agree with James Comey. At least in insofar as he tweeted on Sunday, “Democrats, please, please don’t lose your minds and rush to the socialist left.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old from New York running for Congress, has emphasized an even more bizarre and incoherent argument for democratic socialism over the past weeks since her surprise win in the primary.
But that’s as far as I agree with Comey, and the left-wing media may want to re-evaluate why they’re paying attention to his Twitter feed anyway. Last week, Comey also tweeted that Republicans had shown they are “incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that ‘Ambition must counteract ambition.’” How exactly have they shown that? Conservatism is in fact the only political philosophy that can possibly fulfill the Founders’ design, because our Constitution created and established a republic, meaning that we have specifically rejected direct democracy as the best form of government.
