The Incredible Disappearing Democrat

[PoliticalChic]

1. Time was when we on the Right were making all sorts of claims about the Democrats being duplicitous, criminal-supporting, Marxists, it was easy to get a good fight going, and that's what many of us see as a value of the message board.
No longer. Now, if you get one attempt by a Democrat boot-licker, it's a few words, or some vulgarity.


2. The Mamdani Democrat party stands for abolishing private property, socialis/communism, anti-Semitism, and racism.
And a Dem Senator said this should be the direction of the party.
Where are the loyaltists making an argument for the admitted direction of the 'new Democrat Party"????



3. "Mamdani promises buses "fast and free for every New Yorker."Public transport is a good example of socialist confusion about what makes things work.
private companies built most of New York's subways. The trains only became government-run after 1939, when the capitalists proposed raising the fare from 5 to 7 cents.
NYC's mayor called that "a grab for the public's pocket" and took control.
He promised they wouldn't raise the fare.
But within a few years, the fare was 10 cents. Now it's $2.90.


4. Mamdani also promises to make workers' lives better by raising the minimum wage to $30 an hour.
Last year, California demanded fast-food workers be paid at least $20 an hour. Unions and politicians cheered.
But when companies have to pay even beginners $20 an hour, they employ fewer people.
Pizza Hut laid off 1,200.
Over the next year, while other states added jobs, 18,000 California fast food workers lost jobs.
Customers also get hit. Even "Good Morning America" noticed, "Restaurants in the state have increased prices by 10% faster than all other states."


5. "Finally, "Freeze the rent!" shouts Mamdani. Socialists like rent control.
Most voters do, too. But that's because most don't realize that, aside from bombing a city, little destroys apartment buildings more than rent control.
Saint Paul, Minnesota, imposed rent control in 2021. Multifamily building permits fell by 80%. In Minneapolis, its twin city, building permits increased.
So St. Paul rolled back its rent control.
wBut now Minneapolis' likely new mayor wants to impose it? Don't socialists ever learn?
No."

Where are the Democrat supporters making arguments for their new communist agenda????


Invisible.

All they have to do is have Powell keep interest rates high so that no on can afford another mortgage.

Yea, end of private property courtesy of the Fed.

 

[my2¢]

The Democrats have turn weirder and weirder. But then, it isn't like there is a free market, fiscal conservative Republican Party left.

I think you may find that "Communism" and now "modern" socialism were deliberately introduced by Deep State as Chaos weapons to give the impression of a divided nation .

Now they are separately switched "On" and "Off" to give the impression of a split population , as and when appropriate .

It makes the task of funding both sides to always obtain the targeted aims that much easier , and smoothly acts as a system to accommodate Deflection of basic questions .
And with both political parties equally compromised ( bribery and sex ) funneling funds illegally to the Breakaway Civilisation is child's play .
Even now few people realise how much has been illegally stolen , with the Secret Space Programme accounting for most expenditure .

Much more could be said but that is ample as starters for Sheeplets .
Once you get into Moon and Mars bases plus mining , all you would hear is the sound of dropping jaws .

....or abolish private property via taxation and regulation.

Weirder is right.

Yep, if you can't afford taxes on private property you certainly won't have any.

Too bad the Founders did not see this one coming.

Part of me thinks that the Left is becoming as insane as possible in order to drive home the point that they have such power over the government and society that they still remain in power and a viable party.

They certainly did.

1. As Hamilton noted, the taxing power is the most important of the enumerated powers; it is regulatory in nature, and can be used for purposes unrelated to the collection of revenue- as long as it really is a tax. In other words, duties and excises aimed to support industry are acceptable, but such that are aimed at social reform, are not.
   1. The Revenue Act of 1918 (which was actually passed and signed in early 1919), imposed a 10 percent penalty tax on any company that employed workers under the age of 14 or put those between 14 and 16 to work for more than 8 hours a day…. Writing for an 8-1 majority in May 1922, Chief Justice William Howard Taft argued that the government's power to tax could not be used to sidestep other restrictions on federal authority. http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/readings.nsf/artweb/d4e9f3a2cf4b1f4d8525762d003b4d65?

The three clauses that have been used by the courts since the New Deal to expand federal power are the Commerce Clause, the Necessary and Proper Clause, and the Taxation Clause, which give birth to the spending clause.



Professor Randy Barnett: “I have always been attracted to Madison’s view that there is no freestanding Spending Clause, but only a power to spend what is necessary and properly incident to the enumerated powers. Madison did not believe that the spending power grew out of the taxation power, but instead that all exercise of the spending power had to be incident to the other enumerated powers.” “Originalism,” Steven Calabresi, p. 263.

1. Article I, section 8, clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;….
   1. Hamilton’s view was that this clause gave Congress the power to tax and spend for the general welfare, whatsoever they decide that might be.
   2. William Drayton, in 1828, came down on the side of Madison, Jefferson and others, pointing out that if Hamilton was correct, what point would there have been to enumerate Congresses’ other powers? If Congress wished to do anything it was not authorized to do, it could accomplish it via taxing and spending. He said, "If Congress can determine what constitutes the general welfare and can appropriate money for its advancement, where is the limitation to carrying into execution whatever can be effected by money?" http://www.liberalinstitute.com/CharityNotProperGovernmentFunction.html
   3. According to James Madison, the clause authorized Congress to spend money, but only to carryout the powers and duties specifically enumerated in the subsequent clauses of Article I, Section 8,and elsewhere in the Constitution, not to meet the seemingly infinite needs of the general welfare.Alexander Hamilton maintained that the clause granted Congress the power to spend withoutlimitation for the general welfare of the nation. The winner of this debate was not declared for 150years. General Welfare

I'm convinced that this is how they want to destroy our government to
usher in a government akin to China/Russia. Look what they've done to our
public schools with the indoctrination. The democrat/Socialist/Communist party
has an agenda, and it has been in the making for decades.

Drive up inflation and taxation and nobody can afford to live.

Then steps in the Marxists to "solve" all our problems.

And then they will blame it all on Capitalism.

I really don't think the banks are going to give up all of that collateral.

 

[Cassandro]

The Democrats are so frenetic that they are now saying that the Schiff investigation is a GOP plot to shift attention away from the Epstein files! So which do they want to talk about?

Communism was one of the totalitarian dogma’s that arose from the French Revolution, and their theoretician was Antonio Gramschi.

“Antonio Gramsci, the philosopher who became the iconic thinker of the 1960s, laid down the blueprint for precisely what has happened in Britain: the capture of all society's institutions, such as schools, universities, churches, the media, the legal profession, the police and voluntary groups. This intellectual elite was persuaded to sing from the same subversive hymn-sheet so that the moral beliefs of the majority would be replaced by the values of those on the margins of society, the perfect ambience in which the Muslim grievance culture could be fanned into the flames of extremism.

At the core of those Western majority values lay the Mosaic code, which first gave the world the concept of morality, self-discipline and laws regulating behavior. Who, then, could be surprised that the Jews found themselves in the left's crosshairs?” Phillips, “Londonistan,” P.118-119

Exactly .
The stuff that gets discussed here is all essentially frippery .
It counts for next to nothing and the swings from Left to Right and its opposite are all regulated .

Because when you sit on the top of the pyramid you are only interested in three things :-
* Am I in full control -- enough revenues ?

*Have I got the system that will implement and guarantee everything I require ?

*Have I the system to deal with unwanted attempted interference ?

That is real life and what winning / total Control is all about .
The rest is fodder for Sheeple to chew and argue over .

 

[Kilroy2]

democratic socialist That is what the party your referring to. All it is a combination of two words democratic and socialist.
Just from the words alone it seems they pick and choice what programs they want to support.

Basically Republicans and Democrats switch their platforms years ago.

in the beggining Republicans were for big government along with the a couple of other parties

Democrats were for small government

To add to your post. People have to realize if they don't already is that he still is an ELECTED OFFICAL

People ELECTED him and when his next election comes up then it is up to the people to get rid of him or relelect. He still has to work within the frame work of a democracy. Nothing change except some people will throw a hissy fit.

Now if he was a Socialist then that is a different story.

There is a difference between a socialist and socialist democrat.

Which is fun to watch

"But here’s the thing: none of what’s happening right now is a surprise. Not one iota. In fact, it’s exactly what the voters — you know, the people in that pesky little thing called a constitutional republic — elected him to do.

Tariffs? Promised.

Deportations? Promised.

Tax relief? Promised.

Law enforcement actually enforcing laws? Promised.

Booting gender ideology out of schools? Promised.

Supporting the military, telling Iran to sit down and shut up, standing by our allies, creating a fair playing field for American products, rooting out corruption — all promised.

That’s not authoritarianism. That’s called “keeping your campaign promises.”
