Hate to say I TOLD YOU but this country is headed for a split. We have nothing in common with the Democrat scum! Let's draw some new borders, build a big ass wall to keep Dems and their filth OUT and let them destroy themselves.

You havent rally given much thought to what that would look like or how it would work , have you? Typical MAGA idiocy

 

[Independent thinker]

The problem is that you MAGA types , most Republicans in congress and even some Democrats are too stupid to understand what Socialism is, and that not all Socialism is equal. Socialism in the context of a Democracy that supports a free market economy, and private property is a far different animal that Socialism in the context of a totalitarian regime.

In fact, Socialism- such as a social safety net and health care is essential to the viability of Capitalism. It softens the hard edges of an economy that is prone to cycles of expansion and contraction by protecting workers, keeping them healthy and ready to work when needed and quelling social unrest .

Far more dangerous and oppressive than Democratic Socialism is the current trend towards Corporatism and the rise of the American Oligarchy- where politicians are owned by the billionaires - against the backdrop of eroding Democratic institutions such as freedom of the press, voter suppression, xenophobia and religious bigotry, while maintaining an illusion of Democracy.

You're too stupid to realize there is no such thing as democratic socialism. Once you vote it in, socialism takes over and the democratic part drops off and you're left with real socialism that you can't vote out.

It shows how far the Democrat party has declined.

Social Security, Medicare and public roads are socialism.

So Trump can use government money to buy parts of corporations, but we all must oppose Mandami because right-wing bigots say so.

The real issue is that you guys are not far off from waving Soviet Union style flags. And you group singing in public as we see at your insurrections. You will be singing the Soviet national anthem, and it is coming soon enough.

You're to stupid to understand that has not actually happen in this country over the last 120 years or so since Teddy Roosevelt championed the progressive movement based on the idea that government can and should work to improve people lives and not exist as an end in itself. Socialism is an economic philosophy and system. Democracy is a political system , They can and have coexisted for some time.

Look at the Scandinavian countries. Tell us which ones have slipped into autocracy because of Socialism . High taxes, but also excellent public services and a high quality of life and satisfaction , That is the Democratic Socialism that you stupidly claim does not exist

Educate yourself. We are now seeing an erosion of Democracy- not because of socialism, but because of Trumpism . Pull your head out mister. You are no independent thinker. It seems that you don't think at all.

They don;t understand it, and they fear the unknown.

In case you haven't noticed, most of our representatives on both sides are idiots.

We've seen your support for Democratic Socialism. Socialism, that in no way makes you look even marginally intelligent.

If you don't like socialism , maybe you would like to return to a system, where , instead of paying taxes for public services and safety- you contract out for a private fire services - that may or may not respond when your house is burning .

"We want a democracy that creates space for us all to flourish not just survive and answers the fundamental questions of our lives with the input of all. We want to collectively own the key economic drivers that dominate our lives, such as energy production and transportation. We want the multiracial working class united in solidarity instead of divided by fear. We want to win “radical” reforms like single-payer Medicare for All, defunding the police/refunding communities, the Green New Deal, and more as a transition to a freer, more just life. "

What is Democratic Socialism? - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

Democratic socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few.

A small mind accepts socialism.

The point being that the idiot Crepitus says that most of our congresspeople are morons (he called them idiots....he'd be right at home) but he's repeatedly said we should let them run the health care system.

Yeah, people give way too much credit to people who are simply elected, as being some sort of expert on anything the private sector can do better. Absolutly right. In my estimation, the Democrats in Congress today are a mixed bag but they tend to have this flaw. They really mistrust businesses and especially big businesses (unless they are donors) and by extention, they mistrust the American people and think that they need to be in charge of everything to save them from theirselves..... from price of rent, to healthcare to the cars they drive.

 

[Crepitus]

It's not an unknown. Socialism has never worked anywhere where it has been done.

Come on, mang. Most republicans, especially the tRumplings, don't even know what it is. They've just been told to fear it. It's the same thing they do with CRT, "woke", welfare queens, and any number of other things.

 

[Crepitus]

And you want to give them charge of our health insurance/care.

Yes, because they have all the money.

and 47% voted against it. So, where do we go from here when one side can't win without the other? Does the Democrat party fragment into their corners or does one side eventually win out over the other?

86 Dems vote with Republicans to condemn socialism in wake of Mamdani's mayoral victory

The House voted along bipartisan lines to condemn socialism in a resolution highlighting the ideology's historical failures.

As intended, you fell for this Republican theater for you rubes.

As you always do.

Like those 60+ repeals of Obamacare that dried up immediately upon the Republicans gaining full power of Congress and the White House.

Sad.

That's nice, Dale. Not really pertinent though.

Does anyone know when MAGA Mikey has scheduled a vote to condemn fascism? I can't seem to find it on the calendar...?
