Is This board about 2/3 socialist

That was back when Democrats and lefties still were patriotic and wanted the USA to prosper

Democrats and the left want America to fail? Why is that?

well there are several reasons-the main one now is to use it to defeat Trump. My favorite analysis is over thirty years old and sadly I cannot find it on line. The great Moderate-David Broder-Noted-when the wall had come down at the end of RWRs administration-that the American left had changed its goals. He noted that the American left and spend almost 70 years hoping to make the USA more like the USSR. However, when the USSR collapsed, the left wanted to balkanize America into warring special interest groups-often divided along ethnic lines. As he noted, the American Right loved America for its history and its actual makeup while the American left loved an America that only existed in their dreams.

Depends what you want out of it. I have som folks that I get on well with and some=e not so much. If you want to change people’s minds, you better bring a sound argument, The description should warn, “for entertainment only!”

I find there is a fair amount of seasoned people on board. They let me hang around a little more than three years.

I'm finding it hard to recall any examples of DPers changing their minds about anything much. And that includes me.

"As the ever moderate dude once said, Democrats wanted gulags and settled for race war."

Yeah, okay.

I guess since you cannot rebut what was actually posted, you have to pretend something else was said and then you can slay that fiction, and pretend you actually countered what was posted.

It's racist horsecrap. It's claiming Democrats wanted to be like Stalin but got stuck being Hitler. Sophomoric trash.

Just stop with the pavlovian screams of "racist or racism" every time you encounter a post that upsets your sense of political correctness. There is absolutely nothing racist in Broder noting that the left wanted to divide America into warring special interest groups-often divided among racial or ethnic lines. Your posts continue to become more and more predictable-anything you don't agree with is labeled with racist or racism charges. It's a joke and it is a lie.

Go push your "democrats wanted to be Stalin but got stuck being Hitler" at some backwoods militia meeting. This isn't Stormfront.

Never said that-you tend to see what you want to see, whether the post says it or not. And your moronic references to "backwoods militia meetings" is actually racism on your part.
 
Yes, and as a result it's the wealthiest, most free large country in the world. No developed country respects free speech like the US, nor has lax gun control laws of some of our states.

Well since you mention it no first world country has such high gun deaths or medical bankruptcy either
 
USA has lost “ free speech “ thanks to Odemon
Every single media source is DNC propaganda
We have turned into a Marxist Police state

I'm curious if you can answer how the DNC was able to take over every media outlet without ever firing a shot. No one seems able to answer that for me
 
During my 2 weeks here : it seems to be a very young crowd and very left wing
Do senior posters see it that way ??

Also it’s hard to navigate the boards

The mods seem very fair

I guess I will try it out longer

Id say you are just about right.
 
Libs or Marxist simply cannot think for themselves. They need a Govt to tell them what to do.
They are all the same

Actually we need a government for many things or would you just rather have anarchy?
 
Yup .we are all just insane and your as brilliant as Einstein lol

i have no idea if you're insane or not. i know that your comment was insane and it's why sane people don't trust people that make those kinds of insane comments.
 
What if,

Government is socialism? We have a mixed market economy that is part capitalism and part socialism. A de facto duopoly.
 
Once upon a time I voted for Republican candidates quite often. Those days are gone.

The Party of Trump is anathema to my core values as a human being and as an American citizen.

The high gun deaths are overwhelmingly caused by inner-city Democrats killing each other in turf wars, and the sky high healthcare provider prices, which are the reason medical bankruptcy is a thing in the first place, are caused by the liberal regulatory state which has destroyed competition in the healthcare market. In other words, deport all of the leftists and those two problems go away with them.

Yes, with all of the wealth being created on the capitalist side, while we flush money down the toilet on the socialist side.

You can not have one without the other and be a successful country.


Unless you can name such a country????

Actually the highest per capita gun deaths are in Republican led states and medical bankruptcy largely is nil in countries with single payer
 
However did you reach that conclusion? The public sector can create wealth by fiat.

Lol, no, the public sector can only create money by fiat, like this lady using money to heat her home because that's all it's worth:

Money and wealth are not even close to the same thing.
