This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES. Registering for debate politics is necessary before posting. Register today to participate - it's free!

Why would we agree with that? What does it mean for capitalism to be "unfettered?" Capitalism by definition requires fetters - it cannot exist outside of legal regime of private property and private enterprise. A government must fetter, for example, the exertion of force or fraud, must define... -

It also means that there is no longer private property and you can't run a business to make money, and the federal and state legislatures would determine, like politburo, what you can do with your own property and how you operate a business (means of production). Socialism does not make people... -

Socialism doesn't mean that to Bernie Sanders. Socialism does not mean "looking out for each other." It's an economic system where the means of production and private property are held chiefly by the State. Nothing stops people from looking out for each other under a private property and... -

In 2019, nearly two-thirds of Democrats and Democratic leaners (65%) had a positive view of socialism. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/06/25/stark-partisan-divisions-in-americans-views-of-socialism-capitalism/ Do you revel in your ignorance, or do you just not care? The developed... -

I'm not a Lost Causer. I love the south, but I don't support anything having to do with the Confederacy. I loathe both parties equally. The only reason I stand more to the GOP side these days is because Trump is better than both of those parties, and as loathsome and distasteful as that is to... -

Communism is a form of socialism - Marxist socialism. And the bad part about communism and socialism is that so many people actually think they are good things. Hardly anyone, except a small, largely irrelevant band of whack-jobs actually support white supremacy. You can do all the polls you... -

Nonsense. I cited the Congressional Budget Office. Now you go with your "study after study." Don't parrot MSNBC. Cite the "study after study." Want some more? Raising the minimum wage operates to reduce workers' fringe benefits - https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jep.35.1.51... -

The majority of non-minorities can't tell that Democrat and Republican policies actually hurt them. Yes. Not sure. I find the CBO likely to be understating the problem. It's not controversial that raising the minimum wage harms the working class. Many government policies advanced by both... -

They're not smarter or stupider than non-minorities, and non-minorities support stupid, counter-productive policies all the time. Don't play that game with me. Most people are stupid - shit, think about how stupid the average person is - now realize that almost 1/2 the people are stupider than... -

Democratic Party: 152–96 (61–39%) Republican Party: 138–34 (80–20%) 80% of Republicans in the House voted yes. Only 61% of Democrats voted yes. Democrat Senators Richard Russell, Strom Thurmond, Robert Byrd, William Fulbright and Sam Ervin, led the filibuster in late March 1964, and it... -

That's patently absurd, since there was no shortage of old white Christian guys, and those that were even more Christian. The non-Establishment republicans sided with Trump because he was a departure from the Republicanism of the previous 30 years. He was against the free trade of NAFTA. He... -

Those are policies that Democrats think will help them, but they don't actually help them. A higher minimum wage may help some people who remain employed, but it also hurts people who it puts out of work, and that hurts the working class more than anyone. -

I'll try to find it. It's not a common survey question -- because it's about how they see themselves. There is a survey recently out there where only 31% of Republicans think Democrats are racist, but 61% of Democrats think Republicans are racist - which is a telling stat as to how each side... -

Republicans don't believe that affirmative action actually helps the people it purports to help. It's the same reason they are against these dopey calls for a $20 minimum wage. Those policies hurt people, and very often they hurt the people they are meant to help. The thing is - your side... -

Once again, Communists tend to vote Democrat. According to Pew Researh - Nearly two-thirds of Democrats (65%) have a positive view of socialism. So, they have their own dogs. Communists and Socialists are just as bad, or worse, than white supremacists. If you ask Republicans, by the way, you...
