ChapotraphouseBREAKING: House Adopts Rep. Crank's Resolution to Condemn Socialism
September 1, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Representative Jeff Crank's (CO-05) resolution to condemn socialism in all its forms and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), passed the U.S. House of Representatives with a vote of 220-192.
Socialism is one of the most destructive ideologies in world history, and the DSA have permeated elections across the country and have co-opted much of the Democratic party. While freedom-loving citizens across the country know that socialism is the first step to communism, and that every communist regime has brought only oppression, murder and starvation, the highest levels of Democrat leadership refuse to denounce DSA for fear of political retribution among their ranks.
America is seeing a troubling rise in support for socialism. This resolution condemns socialism in all its forms, as well as highlights the un-American tenets that DSA aspires to, including allowing noncitizens and incarcerated criminals to vote in American elections. It also reaffirms support for free, fair, and secure elections and the principle that American elections should be decided by American citizens.
"It is imperative as Members of Congress that we recommit ourselves to the Constitution and stand firm against this insidious push for socialism," said Rep. Crank. "The vast majority of Democrats voted against my resolution to condemn socialism in all its forms. 10-15 years ago, a resolution like this would've passed the House unanimously. The DSA is a threat to the American values that make our nation great. This evening's vote showed who stands for freedom, and others who stand with socialism."

Rep. Crank
folks, you can't write this shit
Reps. Crank and Hog
I apologize to any author I have ever criticized, internally or externally, for being blunt.
Maybe having a character named "bird" and them becoming a bird-man-thing is on the nose, but I mean if god is doing it you might as well too.
Only person this doesn't apply to is the Mold Wizard Woman.
George Lucas naming conventions
That's honestly a surprisingly close vote, I would have thought it would be more like 390-22
I think the reason that most Democrats voted against the resolution is that it contains a section which says congress should support Trump's voter ID bill (SAVE act). 8 Democrats voted for the resolution and 2 Democrats voted 'present'.
Keep in mind the 'rotating villain' structure of the Democrat Party. Democrats allow just enough votes for Republicans to get what they want while trying to maintain the appearance that there is a real opposition.
TIL - we meet their definition of a communist state.

nomitive
Oh, it's the representative from Colorado Springs, the evangelical cult town.
the evangelical cult town.
Well one of them anyway
Yes yes, I didn't mean to imply exclusivity with the definite article. It is a standout, though, bigger than most cult towns and cultier than most big towns.
mr crank has sent us a silly letter
You still need to vote for them if you want change. Election season will come and any libs left in here will make that point repeatedly
No libs in here are saying that. Fellow socialists are engaging in electoral politics to reach libs that are not a part of Socialist orgs as a means to bring them in and practice their organizing skills. Other socialists in here claim engaging with electoralism in any way is how you get your Marxist card revoked. It's silly
I wonder if his mom took his dad’s name.
Might have been the same last name on both sides
Then they should have hyphenated.
Now I want his name to be Jeff Crank-Crank.
Dad's last name Crank, Mom's last name Inhaug
