Why Democrats are Pushing Socialism

[rmt]

Truth.

I recommend the book she mentions - The Millionaire Next Door

Because they have nothing & want to share it.

Who says Democrats are pushing socialism? Fox News? Did any of you watch the debates? The Democrats are SCARED of Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard. The Democrats HATE the squad. The Democrats are paid to lose the Republicans. The Democrats would rather lose to Donald Trump than win with a progressive like Bernie Sanders. You people don't know about politics.

Are you saying that the Dems aren't a big tent including both moderates and the left? I watched every Dem debate - maybe my eyes were deceiving me and Bernie Sanders wasn't standing on the stage vying for the Dem nomination. Maybe he isn't running 2nd in most Dem Presidential nomination polls. Ditto Elizabeth Sanders (running 3rd) even though she claims she's a capitalist - but those policies :-(

The debates were Tulsi and Yang vs Democrats. Then Bernie and Warren vs Democrats although Elizabeth Warren is another war monger fake progressive like Obama that's why she's being pushed by CNN over Bernie.

The Dems cheated Bernie in 2016. Tell me again how Democrats are pushing socialism?

Can dip conservatives quit misusing this word and misapplying the "socialism" concept? No in' democrat is pushing socialism. None of the conservative talking heads nor their mouth breathing followers seem to understand the concept. No. Higher taxes that go toward social programs is not socialism. Socialism is abolition of all private property, turned over to a state run centrally planned economy. This means that Amazon, Apple, McDonalds, etc would all be owned and operated by the government. In an actual socialist economy, private industry isn't allowed to exist or at the very least, isn't allowed to exist at the corporate size level (some socialist countries, like Cuba, allow for "mom and pop" entrepreneurship).

If conservatives want to define taxes going toward social programs as socialism, then conservatives are the actually the biggest pushers of socialism in the modern world since the American military is the most expensive socialized cost in human history.

Could you not find a less blistering on my ears video? - so much swearing

If this is truly what you believe, then I will hope for one of Sanders or Warren to drop out so that their votes will be consolidated, one of them will beat Biden out for the nomination and they will get beaten by Trump. If the choice is between Trump and Sanders/Warren, (imho) the moderate Dems will either stay home or hold their noses and vote for Trump. Anectodal evidence: friends (mostly Cuban Dem government workers) at lunch on Friday - these (debate) Dems are nuts - going toward policies like in Cuba

You people are hung up on the word "socialism" - I just copy and pasted the le on the video - my apologies. Listen to the CONTENT of the video.

I'm asking you to put it in a nuts and explain in your own words.

Are you incapable of that, or are you just refusing to do so?

Bernie/Tulsi can defeat Trump. I'll throw Yang in there. Should Bernie get the nominee, all the Democrat voters (the working class or rust belt) will vote for Bernie. But the elite Democrats (corporatists) will probably stay or home vote for Donald Trump.

We shall see. I don't think Yang has any chance. Do you not see how $1k/month to every adult/citizen/whoever sounds?

Are you incapable of that, or are you just refusing to do so?

Also, could you be so kind as to specify which points in particular you agree with? Or did you swallow the whole bit in one gulp?

I am refusing to get into an argument about the word socialism - as I said I just copied and pasted the le off the video. My intent was to focus on the CONTENT of the video - not bicker about what socialism means.

Lol just post the YouTube and run.

Trump pushes socialism but I don't see you posting a YouTube on it

People like Zack Exley and Saikat Chakrabarti are running slates of candidates to push the agenda. Americans are scary uninformed one who is holding the strings for people like AOC and Ilhan.

I'd be down for UBI if we got rid of all social programs that way everyone gets income and not just the rich or poor.

I haven't looked into those names but if those people are against Zionism then maybe they'll do a better job than Sheldon Adelson who gives billions of $$$ to Trump.
