Wasserman Scultz can't tell the Difference between being a Socialist and a Democrat!

[bripat9643]

This is HILLARIOUS! Chris Matthews is obviously a shill for HILLARY!, but it is quite amusing to see him nail Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She will not answer his question to tell the difference between being a Socialist and a Democrat.

She doesn't say she "doesn't know". She evades the question.

And rightly so --- you can't possibly answer that question in the 0.4 seconds of space Droolmaster Matthews allows for responses.

No, she evaded because there is no difference. She couldn't give an reasons that the average American voter couldn't see through instantly.

Democrats are closer to social democracy for their belief = mixed economy of private and public sector. Most of europe is like this and in fact most first world countries.

Socialist state = nationalized control economy that normally doesn't give its people much choice within it. Think of Cuba...

My problem with the democrats is their identity politics and social engineering they do to our social "mindset". They won't be truly "socialistic" until they start nationalizing everything and micromanaging the economy as socialism is a economic system.

If the Democrats had their way, Cuba is exactly what we would become.

Attorneys for Wasserman-Schultz said that "socialism is the ownership or control of the means of production by the state, where democrats seek the control or ownership of the means of production by the state."

Total opposites.

Bernie Sanders might be a Socialist, but does he support nationalizing all industry/business in the nation?

Does he support abolishing all free enterprise? Does he support eliminating the private sector of the economy?

Of course he does, and so does every Democrat.

 

[bripat9643]

Sanders' presence and popularity obviously establishes the Democrats' ideological proximity to "socialism", and their denials are pretty silly. Whatever.

However, I think he's a democratic socialist, which is not the same thing. If the Republicans can't figure that out and deal with at that level, they're going to start giving "socialism" a better name in this country.

There's a distinction there, and I can't tell if the Republicans see it. Can they?

.

The term "democratic socialism" is an oxymoron.

Piffle. You can try to spin it however you wish, but she clearly looks dumbfounded when asked the question.

There's nothing to "spin" -- have you ever watched Chris Matthews? He doesn't do interviews. He does monologues with question marks that can't be answered because he's already talking over the second word of your response.

Everything that's wrong with television dumb-down is encapsulated in that spittle dripping out the side of his mouth. Superficial bullshit.

Debbie did his show. If she wasn't up for handling the questioning, she shouldn't have put herself in that position.

But it really was GRAND!

We need more such interviews and spectacles featuring her. Between her and Hillary, the nation is getting a good idea what the Dems are all about.

I don't think you do Matthews to "handle the questions". Even Superman couldn't do that using his Kryptonic powers of Super-Speech. You do it for the same reason you do any other TV show -- face time. You prolly put one good sound bite together, practice saying it real fast before the red light (symbolic, that) goes on, and then hope to blurt it out real quick when a fly lands in his eye. That's about all you can hope for.

I dunno Boe, if you're looking for intelligent life on a TV screen.....

Pop quiz: what's the difference between liberalism and conservatism? You have 0.4 seconds... GO. Time's up.

Which definition of Liberalism? If you mean Classical Liberalism, it's similar to Burkian (real) Conservatism - as in a sea of individual rights with islands of limited government power.

Classical liberalism believed that government was a bigger threat than Capitalism. The horrors brought on by Capitalism in the Industrial Revolution proved them wrong once and for all.

What "horrors," the electric light, the telephone, the automobile?

Does cuba fund science, infrastructure and support a private sector?

Yes, the "horrors" of capitalism, such as starvation declining by over 70%. Of females leaving abusive situations and earning their own way. Of people no longer toiling 16 hours a day for mere subsistence on dirt farms..

Yes, you Communists are dedicated to reversing all that.

How did the child mortality rate decrease under capitalism?

What a capitalist horror!

So you would get rid of the entire public sector and deregulate the economy so the private sector can do as they please??? If you wish to swim in crap and eat poisonness food.

Jesse Waters nailed the difference between democrats and socialist, he said democrats are better at keeping their core beliefs hidden.

You would actually prefer the Cuban system to ours?

During the early 20th century the government regulated corporations and I also agree that capitalism has done many good things. As long as it is regulated I am for it.

Hmmmm, I wouldn't allow corporations to murder people or steal, if that's what you mean. Otherwise, why shouldn't they do what they please?

I've studied political theory and you don't make any sense...Cuba and a social democracy are two very different things.

Regulation by the federal government didn't start in earnest until FDR ascended to the throne. How do you explain the sharp decline prior to that?

She is awful. But..it is a weird question. It's like asking "What's the difference between a ladder and a pineapple."

Bernie doesn't belong to the Socialist party. Does he?

His own words

Now that Bernie Sanders has entered the contest for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, Americans are going to be hearing a lot about socialism, because the 73-year old U.S. senator from Vermont describes himself as a "democratic socialist."

Bernie Sanders Socialism Is as American as Apple Pie Peter Dreier

There's no difference between being a Democrat and a Socalist

So there's no difference between Zell Miller and Bernie Sanders?

lol, Frankenberry strikes again.

Is Zell Miller still in office?

Democracy is a government where the power rests in the hands of the People.

Therefore if the People via the use of that power choose to put socialist policies in place,

you have a social democracy.

Idiot.
