Gee, tushyeater, the only one that is screaming about Fire Departments NOT being Socialist is YOU!! Because I never said they were. Same with Police and roads. BUT I did say that in order to have those things, you are a person with UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, must voluntarily give up the portion of those rights YOU POSSESS to others to carry out on YOUR behalf!! THAT'S NOT MY CLAIM TO SOCIALISM, BUT THE WAY A REPUBLICAN NATION WORKS!!maineman » 30 Jan 2023, 3:44 pm » wrote: ↑ Your refusal to understand that you use the term Socialism incorrectly is getting annoying.
No one in the mainstream of the democratic party wants to have the US government take control of the ownership and means of production in our economy. Nobody wants to buy up all the farmland and have the farmers be government employees who grow what the federal government tells them to grow. Nobody wants to buy up all the car companies and only build the sorts of super energy efficient cars that the government choses to built. Nobody wants to buy Purdue or Tyson and have the government employing poultry workers. THAT would be socialism.
There is nothing socialist about snow plowing. There is nothing socialist about fire protection. There is nothing socialist about community policing. There is nothing socialist about government subsidized healthcare. There is nothing socialist about municipally owned water systems or sewerage systems or state owned electrical distribution systems.
The democratic party has no designs on having the US government buy out every corporation in America and make the NYSE a relic of a bygone capitalist era. We support and defend capitalism. The NYSE is selling shares of the ownership in the American economy every day, Democrats do not want to stop that.
We have, as a society, come to figure out that certain aspects of our communal lives are most effectively and efficiently handled by government. All of the things above in bold are such aspects.
Until you lose the hyperbole and the willful ignorance and the insulting epithets, maybe you SHOULD just put me on ignore.
SO you made the list, dorkus!! Enjoy it!!
Oh, and yes, there ARE those in the MAIN STREAM DEMOCRAT PARTY that want SOCIALISM. See the VIDEO I posted above as well. AND you IDIOTS came within a frogs hair of nominating a SOCIALIST (admitted) to be your CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT!! So spare us the HYPERBOLE on there isn't any "mainstream Democrats" who aren't wanting MORE SOCIALISM!! There were over 120 of them who SIGNED ON AS COSPONSORS to the "Medicare for All" BILL, ARSEHOLE!!
Liberals are spoiled children, miserable, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic & useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats ~O'Rourke
The Democratic Party seems intransigent on their position of keeping the party ‘woke,’ detached, exclusionary, and totally insane.
