the CITIZEN child can get benefits, the immigrant parents cannot.

Right, the money is given to their illegal parent’s for the children.

So someone comes from a nameless communist country and moves to a nameless red state, and I'm supposed to take you at your word?

Ok, let’s say for fun g, Cuba and Alabama. How does that change anything? It doesn’t.

People aren't escaping blue states, they are being forced there because that's where the Billionaire class is moving the jobs. But, whoops, people are actually keeping their sense of right and wrong.

Yes, they are absolutely are. They are moving because many of them can work remotely. Why on earth would you live in a high tax, high cost of living, bad weather blue states when you can live in a much nicer home, be in a much safer area, have much more money to spend and enjoy the sunshine more often? And oh yeah, the people are far nicer. It makes little sense.

Even with a better than average job, I couldn't afford to do that today.

That’s because of where you choose to live. That is on you.

Cool, now let's do a poll of 18-29 year old's that have actually lived under socialism, we can start in Venezuela and see how it's working out for those young people.

It's all fun & games until the "dream" becomes a reality and the nightmares kick in.

They are children. They don’t think that far ahead.

We've been waging a 20 year economic war on Venezuela for picking a form of economy we don't like.

I doubt we'll do that to New York, but let's see how fast Trump can crash the country before we make something better.

Well, maybe if Capitalism weren't such a shit sandwich, young people might have a better opinion of it.

Instead, they watch their parents get the life sucked out of them in soul-crushing jobs, while a few fat cats keep getting richer, and say, "**** that!" And with AI coming for all their jobs, Socialism does sound kind of appealing.

The very fact that NY is electing a socialist shows how really sick of Capitalism some people have gotten.

Now, there's a whole slew of reasons why Socialism doesn't work, I get that. But you really can't look at the status quo of someone building a gilded ballroom while you are cutting off poor people's health care and food stamps.

Every revolution starts with a ruling class that is unable to read the room.

You can't get something for nothing....

Destroying to rebuild in one's vision is what you people do.

Ok, let’s say for fun g, Cuba and Alabama. How does that change anything? It doesn’t.

Sure it does.

First, Alabama is the most backward ass state in the country, with nearly 40% of the population being poor or low income.

Secondly, Cuba. Ah, yes, Cuba, a country we've been waging an economic war on for 60 years for picking a form of government we don't like. Yet for most Cubans, their lives are far better than they were under that shithead, Batista.

(Gee, I hope those weren't the real places, it kind of makes all your boasting look bad.)

Yes, they are absolutely are. They are moving because many of them can work remotely. Why on earth would you live in a high tax, high cost of living, bad weather blue states when you can live in a much nicer home, be in a much safer area, have much more money to spend and enjoy the sunshine more often? And oh yeah, the people are far nicer. It makes little sense.

Uh, do a reality check. Most of those remote jobs that came about during COVID are disappearing because managers don't truly feel alive unless they can monitor your bathroom breaks.

And I've met Southerners, "Nice' isn't an adjective I'd use. Backwards. Inbred. Mean-spirited. Stupid. Those all fit.

"Let's fly our Confederate Flag and Sing Dixie!!!"

That’s because of where you choose to live. That is on you.

There's nowhere in the country where I could do that. Get real.

Trump is destroying the country, and then we'll have to rebuild it.

The sad thing, this is the cycle. Republicans **** things up. Democrats fix it, then Republicans appeal to your racism, religion, and sexual insecurities to get back in after things have been fixed.

Pretty scary stuff here. Not only do 62% of young people have a favorable view of Socialism, but 34% have a favorable view of Communism. This is just more proof that our education system has gone off the rails. I contend that is due to enemy influence, but that is another discussion.

When will mature, adult Democrats, if there are any left, realize that they need to reign in the far-left of their party to prevent this type of uninformed, ignorant thinking? Are all Democrats so lost in the wilderness that they are unable to see the danger their current party poses to this Republic? The financial hub of our country is getting ready to elect a professed Democratic Socialist, in large part due to the young (and non-native born) population in that city. He will fail miserably. Maybe that will be a walk-up call, but I’m not so sure that will be enough wake people up.

Trump believes in it too. He’s seizing the means production, 10% of Intel and 20% of Westinghouse.

This is surprising in that the usual liberal attitude is "if I can't be rich no one should be rich". However, with so many rich liberal Democrats running around one would think this attitude would change. Strange.

You're a clown....You have it all completely upside down....

So, to you everyone that disagrees with you is a
Religious
Racist
with Sexual insecurity's?

What a fool you are.

Pretty much. You take out the racial, religious, and sexual crap.

And all you guys have is "You working stiffs need to be happy working harder for less money so the rich can have more mansions and dressage horses!"

I wish that's what you people would run on.

Democrats fix nothing. They cry racism about anything and everything and want the rich to bail them out when they implement their childish fantasies.

So then you are useless to talk to...A communist that believes that only his own vision is the correct one....

Again, you're a clown.

He's no Democrat. He's a full on communist.

Really, funny thing, guy.

Bush-41, Bush-43, and Trump-45 all left this country in recession.

Clinton, Obama, and yes, Biden, left the country with low unemployment and economic growth.

And even you are conceding, Trump-47 is driving us into another recession. Hey, let's blame AI for this one. Yeah, that's the ticket. Just like we blamed "COVID" for the last one. Nothing is ever Trump's fault.

 

[JoeB131]

He's no Democrat. He's a full on communist.

The 1950's called. They want Joe McCarthy's corpse back.

You're bringing that era back....Take your communist babble and shove it up your ass.

 

[JoeB131]

Naw, guy, you really can't complain about "Communism" when captialism is turning into such a shit sandwich.

You see, the reason why the GOP made a comeback in the 1950s is because Ike had the good sense to embrace the New Deal Reforms that created the middle class. So we defeated "Communism" by having a little socialism.... kind of like an innoculation.

I'm actually horrified by Mamdani and AOC, but it's not like your side is offering a better alternative as Trump is sending the economy down the drain.

48,000 layoffs at UPS
40,000 layoffs at Amazon
10,000 layoffs at Kroger

It's going to get really bad, really quick.

And the parent’s benefit from the services as well. Don’t be so naive, if you can help it.

First, Alabama is the most backward ass state in the country, with nearly 40% of the population being poor or low income.

Secondly, Cuba. Ah, yes, Cuba, a country we've been waging an economic war on for 60 years for picking a form of government we don't like. Yet for most Cubans, their lives are far better than they were under that shithead, Batista.

I am not getting into a process of elimination thing with you to figure out where I live. The point is that you would say something similar about any Southern state, because you are an indoctrinated fool who believes that his small hovel in crime-infested Chicago is something we should all aspire to have. We don’t, because we know better and live better.

Uh, do a reality check. Most of those remote jobs that came about during COVID are disappearing because managers don't truly feel alive unless they can monitor your bathroom breaks.

Yes, they are, but that hasn’t prevented people from moving here from blue states. They will continue. It will accelerate if Mamdami gets elected. Good for our property values, bad because we have to deal with some, not all, obnoxious jerks.

And I've met Southerners, "Nice' isn't an adjective I'd use. Backwards. Inbred. Mean-spirited. Stupid. Those all fit.

Ok, sure. Obnoxious, immoral, know-it-all jerks seems best to describe your klan.

There's nowhere in the country where I could do that. Get real.

LOL…You live in a blue bubble. Yes, indeed there are places outside that dump in live in that this is possible.
