Rs and Ds are very similar. That is as clear as the nose on your face, but you still can't see it.
Now for crazy Bernie. You being the hard left D partisan will find his rhetoric acceptable.
epublicans hate Social Security because it has been an extraordinary success and has done exactly what it was designed to do. It is the most successful government program in our nation's history and is enormously popular.
In crazy Bernie's world and yours, anyone who suggests changes to SS, which is going bankrupt rapidly....HATES SOCIAL SECURITY...NOW THAT IS CRAZY RHETORIC.
He has made outrageous acquisitions against Rs on abortion, climate change, women, minimum wage, etc....just like most pols he is all about dividing Americans and Ds like you believe his BS.
But don't get me wrong, I defineitely prefer crazy Bernie to your beloved Cankles.
I hate to be critical (sarcasm) but your first sentence contradicts the rest of your post.
As for Social Security:
5 Potential Social Security Fixes - US News
Once again the Republicans want to repeal Social Security and allow each person to establish their own retirement safety net with the help of Bernie Madoff and other fro profit financial services providers (read wall snake oil salesmen, bankers and brokers who never tire of using other peoples money for their benefit); of course this too would let employers off the hook for paying half of their employees SS Tax.
The Democrats support SS, SSI, Medicaid, Medicare and the PPACA and seek to fix what needs to be fixed. The Republicans hope to end and privatize all of the above, once again to profit those who use others labor for their benefit.
One would imagine that you'd know something about the topic on which you were posting....but I've seen your posts, and you don't.
Take notes:
"
The Socialist International carries the torch for Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, V.I. Lenin, Leon Trotzky, and Josef Stalin. Pay no attention to the desperate attempts by socialists to distance themselves from Stalin. For our purposes, it suffices to observe that every single tenet of the Socialist International is the exact opposite of the principles upon which America was founded, and which define the U.S. Constitution.
For our purposes it suffices also to observe that members of the U.S. Congress are required to furnish an oath whereby they will preserve, protect, and defend said Constitution.
DSA/USA, the "Democratic Socialists of America" are the U.S. arm of the Socialist International. They share the symbol of the fist holding the rose, and they share the tasks to be accomplished - in our case, an altogether different America. You may verify all this at
Democratic Socialists of America
Some time ago - the date is missing from the descriptions - 58 members of the U.S. House of Representatives formed a subdivision of the Democratic Socialists of America and called it the Progressive Caucus. Their statement of purpose, as well as their membership list, formed an integral part of the dsausa web site. The membership list appeared on the screen with the continuous background of the fist holding the rose, should anyone have missed the connection with the Socialist International.
Following the exposure in this newspaper of the Progressive Caucus (November 10 & 11, 1998), action was taken to hide the true nature of the organization, and its membership list was eventually taken off the dsausa web site. In fact, the only listing to be found right now is a web site maintained by
Representative Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the only member professing to be a socialist. But interested parties can type "Progressive Caucus" in a search engine, such as Google, and find the dsausa link right up front. The link brings up a screen saying "the page cannot be displayed," but the listing confirms its prior existence.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi has long been, and is now, a member of the Executive Committee of the Progressive Caucus. Her election as Minority Leader would firmly establish the link between the Democratic Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Socialist International.
The U.S. Constitution places no restrictions on political creeds. There is no earthly reason why socialists could not be elected to Congress if The People so choose. There is a question of honesty, though. Candidates for office ought to put their cards on the table.
The Democratic Party has been the permanent or temporary home for an awesome line-up of great Americans, from Thomas Jefferson to Ronald Reagan. The political philosophy known as Socialism was devised to combat and prevail over Anglo-American principles, law, economics. Every version of socialism, from Nazism and Bolshevism to the mildest form of Social Democracy is fundamentally opposed to Anglo-American attitudes.
If the moment has come when the Democratic Party sees no other way "to be different" except by embracing Socialism, that is a sad day for all Americans."
