Cortez wants to turn United States into another Sweden

AOC aside (please...why does anyone take this person serious about anything?), There are numerous factors as to why Sweden as a 'model' simply doesnt compare to the US. Sweden is a largely homogeneous community of approx 10 million people. They dont have 47% of their population that are worthless layabout dependent ****s waiting for someone else to take care of them. They dont bring in 1 million legal immigrants a year, let alone hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. They dont have to deal with rampant crime and violence in their inner cities (yet...though the 600,000 Muslim refugees in their country have certainly made their mark). They dont tolerate illegal immigration...dont encourage it. we as societies simply arent equal in any way, shape, or form.

The irony is any major US city already under democrat rule could if they choose mirror their city structures to run as the Swedes. But they dont. Wont. Cant. Because it doesnt work in the US. Instead what you get is...Portland.

Spent time in Sweden this year...Most Swedes just laugh at present day America....In private of course, they are very polite people

Small homogeneous communities are always polite (Sweden is the size and population of Florida); everyone is the establishment. In private though, woowee.
 
What's your clue they are different beyond one is brown (which it's not) and the other is white (which it's not)?

You started the thread, you should start with a valid argument beyond "Sweden is all white", or no?

You said they're different. Tell us how.

How does Venezual's socialism differ from Sweden's?

They do say nasty things about the Danes from time to time...But love the Danish beer.
 
Fear? No. Just amusing to watch a freshman know-nothing who hasn’t yet realized that Washington is where dreams go to die.

You mean like a know-nothing POTUS whose dreams become the country's nightmare ?

We see from before even being sworn the vast right wing media machine latching on to AOC

just like anyone on the left...to denigrate, demonize and because they have nothing else.

They just repeat ad nauseum everything they can to paint any opposition as weak, socialist,

communist and soon...she'll be a traitor. I guess they have realized they can't call her muslim.
 
Try to keep up...Topic is Sweden...A place you have never been to, a place you don't know one person but your "kind" babbles about anyway

Who’s on first?
 


Anyways, I just wanted to know where you came up with this:


"The salmenella you’ve been consuming from the romaine lettuce is due to the foreign laborers squatting next to the produce and wiping with the broad leaves."
 

Lol...I had rather we turn it into Finland. It is now rated the happiest country in the world. Sweden is ok too. Our cold challenged neighbor to the north is in the top tier of happy countries. Guess what, income inequality in all these happy countries is low. Tax is not an evil malevolent word in these countries. Yes, I agree we have problems to a degree none of these other countries have. I agree we might not be able to do everything other less populated countries can do but doing just a couple or even one radical thing will create a sea change in this country. Put human beings and decency first. Yes if we continue on this path and there is no change in income inequality a radical change would bankrupt the country. Radical change comes only when a country puts all of its citizens first. Radical change is not possible when the wealth of a nation is concentrated at the top. Those people are deliriously happy because all government policy including tax policy is tailored to benefit them. The path we are on is unsustainable. Lets change it.

Two key differences would be Sweden is not socialist while Venezuela is and in Venezuela the government controls the economy and major industries.

The happiest seem to me to be the Norwegians....Of course they get made fun by their neighbors...But they just laugh it off and count their Oil subsidies....

Hey! All things bad=communism. All things good=Conservative

 
Sweden is over 90% white. Does Cortez want The United States to be 90%+ white?

She is not proposing anything that would change the racial makeup of the US...:slapme:
 
:lamo

Every serious democrat cringes whenever this ****ing ditz opens her mouth. Sadly...she has plenty of bubble headed sycophants that are stupid enough to support her.

While I certainly am no fan of her, I don't cringe at what she says any more than I cringe at what any freshman congressperson says. They are mostly irrelevant. Why she lives rent free in the heads of so many conservatives I will never know. And things like the OP post of this thread(and the followups from the same poster, should have any serious conservative cringing with mass embarrassment.
 
im not arguing. The salmenella you’ve been consuming from the romaine lettuce is due to the foreign laborers squatting next to the produce and wiping with the broad leaves.

You might be a redneck or rascist if you say, "The salmenella you’ve been consuming from the romaine lettuce is due to the foreign laborers squatting next to the produce and wiping with the broad leaves."
