I'm no huge fan of Joe Biden and never have been. But 2020 was EASY... I'd have voted for DOG before I voted for a CLOWN!
losers just can't admit they lost.
Yeah, we know that you SOCIALISTS don't want to hear what the actual founders of this nation had to say because it interferes with your push for "democracy".maineman » 28 Jan 2023, 2:03 pm » wrote: ↑ I could give a **** what Madison or Hamilton THOUGHT about democracy. The fact is, small "d" democracy is defined as government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system. And the specific form that the people chose was a Republic. We elect representatives to the governing body (congress) under a free electoral system.
And let's just call a spade a spade here, Mister Honeypot... all this faux outrage over representative democracy versus republic is just your way of tap dancing away from the *** whipping you got on your ridiculous "healthcare equals socialism" argument. We are a representative democracy and we, the people have democratically chosen to govern ourselves in a Republic format...that was our choice and we made it in a truly democratic fashion... using a free and fair election system like all functioning democracies use... like, say, Great Britain, which is both a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. You know that is a fact just as well as you know you got your *** kicked about fire departments and police departments and public works departments and health care systems all being a part of a thriving capitalist economy and not a socialist one.
Now try and punch above your weight here for a moment; at least ACT like you have half a brain and just let this one slip down below the fold. I'll keep spanking you dumb *** for as long as you want, but it would seem to me that CAN'T be very pleasant.
Oh and your silly quote was fake news back when it was mistakenly attributed to Kruschev just like it is today.
Run along now child. Your little hiney is a RED AS A BEET from the stomping you just had administered!!Did Marx believe in democratic socialism? Both Leninism and Marxism–Leninism have emphasised democracy, endorsing some form of democratic organisation of society and the economy whilst supporting democratic centralism, with Marxist–Leninists and others arguing that socialist states such as the Soviet Union were democratic.

So... single payer (with an "e", not an "o") government subsidized healthcare is totally socialist, but single sourced totally government funded fire protection is NOT. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaBeekeeper » 28 Jan 2023, 4:18 pm » wrote: ↑ Yeah, we know that you SOCIALISTS don't want to hear what the actual founders of this nation had to say because it interferes with your push for "democracy".
But you know WHO DID want to see Democracy?? Why none other than YOUR FAVORITE FATHER, KARL MARX!! You know, your favorite of all times when it comes to "how to turn a Capitalist society into a Communist one through the socialist method"!!
Run along now child. Your little hiney is a RED AS A BEET from the stomping you just had administered!!
Oh and I never once said healthcare was socialism. I SAID that SINGLE PAYOR[SIC] healthcare PROVIDED BY GOVERNMENT AND CONTROLLED BY GOVERNMENT is totally SOCIALIST!! OPEN YOUR F'ING EYES and TRY to comprehend what is being said rather than reinventing BS to suit your FAILED ARGUMENT, SFB'S!!

Like I said... we are a representative democracy... and the voting citizens of that representative democracy voted to form a constitutional republic.... that is run by a legislature that is democratically elected on a regular basis. Our economy is capitalist that is minimally regulated by the government. Those voting citizens of our representative democracy also decided that some service aspects of our capitalist economy - fire prevention and control, crime prevention and control, public transit, health care, utility distribution, road maintenance, to name but a few - are better managed at the state and national levels. Government administration of NONE of those aspects of our extremely complex capitalist economy turns that economy "socialist". Government does not own the means of production of the economy. The NYSE sells ownership shares of our economy to private citizens every single day. Government does NOT own the means of production... everyone with a portfolio or an IRA or a retirement plan does.... they all own a piece of the American dream...the capitalist American dream.

When GOVERNMENT controls the MEANS to obtaining healthcare and the WAGES of those providing it., then it is PURE *** SOCIALISM, arsehole!! AND SINGLE PAYER HAS ZERO CHOICE. YOU MUST BE ENROLLED!! Fact is, you don't even HAVE to enroll in Medicare, but under the SOCIALIST BERNIE SANDERS PROPOSED "MEDICARE FOR ALL", EVERYONE MUST BE ENROLLED!!maineman » 28 Jan 2023, 7:29 pm » wrote: ↑ but just to review...

and how does the government own the means of production if the NYSE sells shares of ownership in the means of production every single day?
Two simple questions. Why can't you just find your testicles and answer them?

You ARE required to pay for the fire department, however. You and every other citizen of the town, whether you chose to call them when your house is on fire or not. That is not socialism... it's how a democracy decides to handle issues that impact its citizenry.

A TAXPAYER FUNDED Fire Department isn't CONTROLLING ANYONE'S ACCESS TO ANYTHING but have been CREATED by the simple FACT that people were willing to turn over that part of the own LIBERTY TO OBTAIN- BY THEIR CONSENT!!! PERIOD!! I don't have to call the Fire Department for a FIRE I CAN EXTINGUISH MYSELF NOR AM I REQUIRED BY ANY LAW TO DO SO!!!
Now do us a favor and SHUT THE FRUCK UP, ARSEHOLE!! YOU KEEP LOSING OVER AND OVER WITH THE SAME DEAD ARSE HORSE YOU BEEN BEATING FOR 20 REPLIES!!! YOU LOST, NOW GET OVER IT!!!
just my richly deserved and well earned disdain.
He must have hurt you bad.
hurt? hardly. You just wasted my time.

The government neither owns nor controls the health care system and NOBODY is required to enroll in anything if they don't want to. So...we have one independent senator who's proposed a bill that has zero chance of even coming to a vote in the Senate let alone pass in the house and you acting like it's a **** fait accompli ???? Did you miss Civics class????
And you never answered the question about government ownership. If America is pure socialism which, by definition means that the government owns the means of production...what is it that the NYSE is selling every day if it isn't shares of ownership in the means of production of the American economy? Pure socialism? Hell... the ONLY portion of the healthcare system that is owned by the government is the VA. Even this "pure socialist health care system" you are whining about is owned by HMO's and PPOs and for-profit hospitals and insurance agencies and and and....CERTAINLY not Uncle Sam.
