Maher drops a reality bomb on Zohram Mamdani voters

Or he'll do just fine.

Here's the problem you guys have. You haven't made capitalism appealing.

The reason so many young people are voting socialist now is because they look at their parents who've worked their whole lives and have very little to show for it, making other people rich.

And the best retort you guys have is "but, but, but, North Korea!"

The problem is you people think Capitalism will be more appealing if there is a redistribution of wealth component - which is not capitalism. That is a failed promise of Socialism and Communism because all of the wealth gets locked into a true and rigid 1 percent,

Watching the Democrat socialists drive NYC into the ground is going to be amazing to watch.
It will be used as an example of the destructiveness of the Left for a century to come.

Didn't NYC residents vote for him by majority??

Oh indeed. He's been elected for two weeks and is already backing off his lofty promises.

He had two choices: keep his promises and all the wealthy flee, making his plan impossible; or throw his voters under the buses he promised would offer free rides.

oops

We need to do something about our education system that teaches kids that the US is a mean, stingy, racist, evil country that embraces capitalism, law enforcement, border control, fair trade, equality and freedom, all of which the left considers evil.

Your evidence of schools teaching that? Another thing that the left considers evil is Pedophiles.

Works for me.

So instead of having an economy where we are all knifing each other for the few crumbs the Billionaire class lets us keep, we have a system where the wealth is distributed fairly. That doesn't really sound that horrible

You have said it many times yourself that you have a good life. I have a good life as do many on this message board. Most, if not all, of us aren't billionaires and we aren't living on crumbs.

What it really boils down to is that you and others like you are envious of anyone having more than you. Socialists play on people with this mindset.

Blah, blah, blah... The Europeans are doing fine, thanks. So are the Japanese.

I have a good life because I work two jobs, my wife works 7 days a week at her business, and it's taken me 47 years to get here, having to often rebuild after Republicans **** things up and put the economy into the ditch. (which has happened four times during my working life.) And a lot of that is because I'm damned frugal.

Last company i worked at, they've fired most of the staff by now, and sent all the office jobs to India. Because the Billionaire class is too ******* greedy.

Trump got in by promising the working class a return to glory, but that is never going to happen when the government puts the needs of the Billionaire Class above those of the working class.

And old voters. Let's just take away social security and Medicare, and you'll be amazed at how much old white people decide they really love them some socialism!!!

I'm already paying my fair share, thank you very much.

The Billionaire class needs to pay theirs.

I believe so. No one ever accused Democrat voters of being smart.

That's you right?

For my entire life conservative inbreds have been declaring the end of New York City every time an election happens

End? Not yet, just rot and violent crime. Think back to the pre-Rudy era.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Didn't NYC residents vote for him by majority??

/----/ Only 50% of registered voters turned out. Of those, 51% voted for the Commie. So, 51% of 50% means about 25% voted for the Commie.

With the US having their back militarily, I should hope so. Capitalism pays for socialism.

Actually, they have. Clinton raised taxes on the rich to a sensible level. We had balanced budgets and prosperity. We were looking at erasing the national debt in a decade.

Then Bush came along, cut taxes for the rich, put a war on a credit card, and here we are.

How many things does Lying Bill Maher get wrong?

He claims that Poland is as rich as Japan. That's nonsense. Poland's GDP is less than a trillion. Japan's GDP is 4 trillion.

Venezuela's economy does have issues due to socialism, but the bigger problem is that the US has been waging a 20-year economic war on it.

Oh, do you know who he conveniently leaves out when discussing Capitalism vs. Socialism? CHINA. You know, the world's second-largest economy is breathing down our necks.
