Democrats Now OK With Being Socialists

[Integrityrespec]

When y'all push the pendulum this far to the right, don't be surprised when some people want it to swing back to the left.

The democrat party has been swinging far left for a long time. Don't act as if it's something new.

Well, I travel on the socialist interstate,

Yes, and because of that they cost us a fortune in taxes and are still falling apart.

The Baltimore collapse focused attention on vital bridges. Thousands are in poor shape across the US

Thousands of old bridges across the U.S. are awaiting replacement or repairs after inspectors found them in poor condition.

have my mail delivered by the socialist post office,

You take the junk mail out of the box and toss it in the trash, where it ends up in a landfill. Yay socialism.

am insured by socialist Medicare, get benefits far in excess of my contributions through Social-ist Security,

Those are welfare programs and both are on unsustainable paths.

take drugs approved by the socialist FDA,

But you don't consider the people killed by the FDA.

am protected by socialist fire and police departments,

The supremes have ruled repeatedly that police have no legal obligation to protect you. When a cop is following you, do you feel safer?

borrow books for free from the local socialist library.

Libraries today are places for bums to sleep. They are a complete waste of taxpayer money.

Socialist remains an epithet tossed around by the right, but what’s not to like?

If it's so wonderful then you should want a lot more of it.

Republicans okay with continued lying to divide and destroy this Nation

Do you actually think being far left has anything to do with socialism?

The GINI coefficient for the US is reaching critical mass and something has to change.

You have a very small segment of American society living extravagant lifestyles and the majority of Americans treading water.

Do we keep on with policies that allow a handful of very wealthy individuals to continue to amass wealth at a ridiculous rate or do we enact policies and make investments in creating a society where more people can have their basic needs met and not work their fingers to the proverbial bone just to stay with their heads above water?

Republicans used to paint democrats as being socialists. Now Democrats are admitting they are fine with being socialists. I don't personally believe the majority of Americans want socialism.

Right now the only thing we know for sure is that the majority of Americans don’t want Donald Trump.

There is absolutely nothing about the Democratic Party that is even remotely close to “far left”

You’d have Americans living back in the company towns of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and living under the thumb of corporate monopolies.

Thinking (misguidedly) that is somehow better for people.

"The radicals on the left are the problem, and they're vicious and they're horrible and they're politically savvy, although they want men and women sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders." Trump

Trump is committing murder. He admits it!

Trump wants to control communication. A well-known talk show host expressed an opinion. Trump had his show cancelled.

Trump now wants to control free speech.

The Attorney General said the Justice Department would "absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone (Trump?) with hate speech."

In other words, the DOJ will determine if a person used hate speech, as opposed to expressing an opinion in free speech, then the DOJ will "absolutely target you, go after you,"

As in the case of Jimmy Kimmel, the Trump government will decide if its hate speech or free speech. If an American is critical of the government, chances are pretty good the label, hate speech, will be used.

That is the whole idea of all of this.

Yeah, it's an inevitable response to the failure of capitalism.

 

[Crakhobarbie]

LOL. What do you think happened last November? You pushed the pendulum too far to the left and your solution has been to push it even further to the left.

And look at what donalds bull in a China shop approach has done.
Your boy Is f___ing up big time.
Dont get me wrong, he may be able to consolidate enough power before the midterms to really f__k us.
But, we'll see......

Good. I'm all for it. I'll take the democratic control over our economy over a few thousand billionaire and centi-millionaire capitalists ruling over our society, with nearly all laws being passed for their benefit alone.

So Eisenhower shouldn’t have bothered? It has served me well in 2-3 long trips.

I pay the Post Office less than a dollar and they take my letter across the country. Not bad.

Those are welfare programs and both are on unsustainable paths.

His long has the right been saying this? If Social Security collapsed tomorrow, it’s run of what? 80 years? would have been worth it. It keeps a paralyzed friend ok, kept my grandfather able to live alone as he wishes. And I am ok financially despite an incurable disease thanks to Medicare, was able to survive pre-Medicare thanks to another federal program for those pronounced uninsurable as I was.

But you don't consider the people killed by the FDA.

Ok. Shit happens.

The supremes have ruled repeatedly that police have no legal obligation to protect you. When a cop is following you, do you feel safer?

Yet they do. If I am speeding, no. If not, nice to have them around.

Libraries today are places for bums to sleep. They are a complete waste of taxpayer money.

Yet they live on in so many communities. Been around for thousands of years. Have all the nations of the world that have them been wrong? My city even has a tool-lending library, where I am able to borrow tools I might only use once a year if I bought them. I recently borrowed a power sander and put it to good use. As a kid in Brooklyn, I read all the books in the kids section of the library.

If it's so wonderful then you should want a lot more of it.

As I said, we are all socialists, except on different subjects.

Who cares whether some Democrats, most Democrats, a few Democrats, are "OK" with being called Socialists?

Those who believe "Socialist!" is a damning epithet will continue to accuse Democrats of being "Socialists!" regardless of what a study or a poll says. The same people will also call us "The Left", "Leftists", "Marxists", "Libtards"....whatever suits their mood at the moment.

Socialism may be the future of the Democrat Party, but hopefully it won't be the future of America.

It’s the present. This argument depends a bit on how one defines socialism. While the US will never move towards what Lenin stood for, since FDR, and probably even before when we established national parks, the US has filed down the rough edges of capitalism with socialist-like reforms.
