House GOP seeks to divide, conquer Democrats on socialism

[Penelope]

As House Republicans aim to use their majority to divide Democrats on toxic political issues, they found early success this month making new hay out of an old idea: the “horrors” of socialism.

Freedom baby, as long as they're not doing crime. We should be free! Not under Christian dictatorship. Do not republicans believe in freedom.

I would suggest that we all start off with a shared definition of the term, but I know that won't happen.

It's not politically expedient to do that. And this is all about political expediency.

That idiot GOPer ran into a buzzsaw effing around with Maxine Waters though.

That's how you gotta deal with these deplorables.

 

[gipper]

Yeah because the D Party would never use issues to divide and conquer. Lol.

It’s the way of the duopoly and you unknowingly support it.

 

[gipper]

PS…now if we could just execute the unvaxxed.

If the democrats were worth their weight in straw they’d draft a resolution condemning white nationalism as a threat to US interests and safety. Put the GOP on the clock.

This is about the 5th time this was posted and I ask how we determine what is the horrors of socialism and what is acceptable socialism?


Senator Bernie Sanders, who recently suspended his presidential campaign, offered a self-described “Democratic Socialist” plan for America. To realize Sanders’ ideals, it would have cost the American taxpayers trillions of dollars.



In peak 2020 irony, the Congress and Senate signed a unanimous bipartisan fiscal stimulation plan that dwarfs Sanders’ socialist agenda. The multitrillion-dollar package is both a corporate and individual socialist-type plan of unprecedented magnitude.


In a true capitalistic society, companies would be allowed to fail and go out of business. American citizens would have to tighten their belts and not expect any handouts from the government. This is not happening.

It's determined by how convincing the GOP can be at feigning outrage on whatever it is they seem as "socialism."

The difference is that it objectively isn’t and the paranoia is insane - white nationalism is a nonexistent nothingburger - while the democrats are objectively radically socialist literally destroying the country.

Lol. The D Party is a neo-Fascist party EXACTLY like the R Party. If you can’t see this, you’ve been duped.

Seriously, on what planet was Maxine Waters, that braindead savage hypocrite, not utterly wrecked in that exchange?

Has Maxine Waters moved back into her district yet? The conditions of her district are so bad that it is not suitable for her multimillion dollar mansion. Here’s to another corrupt Democrat making millions as a career politician.

But why would there be a divide amongst Demonticraps if some dont want to be Soclialists? Are the Demonticraps Socialists?

Because Socialist don't believe they are socialist.
--------------------------------

House GOP leaders staged a vote Thursday on a resolution condemning socialism as a fundamental threat to American prosperity and independence — a proposal that split Democrats and provided a potentially potent new attack line for GOP candidates heading into the 2024 elections.

 

[Penelope]

As a logical argument, Republican attacks on socialism have been undermined by their support for social-welfare programs, including McCarthy’s recent vow to protect federal benefits under Social Security and Medicare — programs that are run exclusively by the government and funded collectively by taxpayers, who are required to contribute.
--------------------------------
They are going to privatize it when republican have both houses, if they do. They did it on the Budget Act. Its been a long time coming.

They passed Medicare Advantage Act, which privatizes Medicare.

Clinton has no say on it, he didn't want to get impeached,I opine.

True that. That's what I said in my first post above. We are all Socialists.
