When Teddy Roosevelt visited [
If the American people did decide to vote a socialist ticket would they have that right?
not without some changes to the constitution, no.
No changes needed as Americans have voted for socialists a number of times.
But a Republican president did say about socialism this in a speech: "But this does not mean that we may not with great advantage adopt certain of the principles professed by some given set of men who call themselves socialists to be afraid to do so would be to make a mark of weakness on our part."
Theodore Roosevelt 1910
voting for a socialist and having a socialist economy are two different things.
what about free enterprise?
what if people vote for the return of slavery? can we have that too?
The governments role is not defined in such a way to provide for it to own and operate business.
What you said, moron, was that it would require Constitutional change for the People to vote for a Socialist.
And yet you have Eugene Debs sitting right there in the pie chart.
I haven't seen this level of dense since my car was in the body shop.
look shit for brains, the question was could if people voted for socialism would they have that right, this implies that should a socialist win, we would become a bound for hell socialist country, and the constitution does not allow for socialism. So people can vote any party they want, but that does not mean the will get what they want.
Can we vote for a Christian only country? we would have enough votes. Does that mean that the government could then dictate the Christian religion? NO, because the constitution does not allow for it.
But why am I trying to explain something like this to an idiot, evidently you dont even have the ability to drive without ******* up. you certainly cant be trusted to interpret the constitution.
