LOL.

Obama was a plant, a change agent to usher in Woke DEI bullshite ans move us towards a globalist regime. It takes a ton of mental gymnastics to not accept that.

What data, not your feelings, do you have to support any of this?

Globalism is a concept that many have promoted, including the right. Obama didn't pioneer this, and there is an argument that Globalism is the inevitable best outcome.

Like I said earlier, maybe we went too fast and need the conservatives to pull us back a bit, but that's why we need both schools of thought.

No. All you socialists can frick off.

It’s throwing out free bread. Nothing more.

And you never stop moving left. The next stop is communism.

You people never ever stop.

You are at wanting men to piss with little girls. frick all of you.

True socialism? Absolutely not. It has a horrible track record.

Feigned or quasi socialism is pretty shitty as well.

So, should we dissolve our military, police/fire departments---get rid of parks and public schools, no more public transportation or public streets and highways?

---

This has nothing to do with socialism

Some things being paid for by the government doesn't equal socialism

WTF are you on about?

The Constitution is intended to allow the people to vote however they wish, even if those elected trigger your paranoia about socialism. This country is far removed from any threat of a communist
government.

Why do people pretend that these are the only choices?


Bc these are the only two real choices right now. You can vote third party all you want—I did for years—and you can take the high ground and say that both parties suck—I did for years—but that doesn’t accomplish much.

He/she knows this^^^^, that's why I don't engage in nonsense.

You guys should really look up the definition of Socialism. Not the definition you created in your head.

Give us the link to one that says simply having a police force counts.

The DOI is effectively well-written virtue signaling. It has no legal merit or authority.

Socialism is a social and economic doctrine calling for public—not private—ownership or control of property and natural resources, particularly the means of production such as factories, land, and capital. Under socialism, production is organized to serve the needs of the community as a whole rather than for the profit of private owners, and goods and services are distributed more equitably among all members of society.

Many public services are often described as having “socialist” elements because they are funded, operated, or provided by the government for public benefit rather than for profit. This does not mean these services exist only in socialist countries; rather, they embody aspects of socialism (public ownership, universal access, operation for collective good) within otherwise market-based economies.

Common Public Services Considered Socialist
• Public education: K-12 schools, public universities, and community colleges are universally accessible and tax-funded, aiming to provide education regardless of one’s ability to pay.
• Healthcare programs: Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S. are examples of government-run health programs that pool tax resources to provide healthcare access based on age or income.
• Public transportation: Subways, buses, railways, and other transit systems are usually government-owned, subsidized, and sometimes free at point of use, aiming at universal mobility.
• Infrastructure: Roads, highways, water and sewer systems, electricity grids, and other infrastructure are built, maintained, and owned by governments for public use.
• Police and fire departments: These vital safety services are almost always funded publicly, available to all, and organized for collective protection.
• Parks and recreation: National and local parks are publicly maintained to ensure everyone has access to leisure and nature.
• Postal service: The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is government-run and, while it charges for services, operates as a public utility for the benefit of all citizens.
• Social Security: This program provides retirement, survivor, and disability income funded by payroll taxes and operates on principles of shared risk and support.
• Military: Armed forces are publicly owned and operated, funded by tax dollars, and organized for national defense as a collective good.
