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!!

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.
Medicare for All is not socialism. Socialism is not government subsidy and oversight over discreet segments of the service delivery economy. Socialism is government ownership and control of the means of production of the entire economy. Americans, through their elected representatives, will collectively agree, perhaps, at some point in the future, to adopt Medicare for all. If they do, that will be no different that agreeing to have government take the lead in snow plowing, electricity delivery, or road/bridge/tunnel/dam/canal construction and maintenance. No one is saying that there will be unanimity in adopting that program, but I am sure that there was not unanimity when the interstate highway system was built either. If you are SO dead set against government involvement in health care, **** move.... but I'd be interested to hear where you think you go where government is LESS involved in healthcare than here. Mexico? nope. Canada? nope.Beekeeper » 30 Jan 2023, 4:14 pm » wrote: ↑ Gee, tushyeater, the only one that is screaming about Fire Departments NOT being Socialist is YOU!!

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 Democrfats" who aren't wanting MORE SOCIALISM!! There were over 120 of them who SIGNED ON AS COSPONSORS to the "Medicare for All" BILL, ARSEHOLE!!

So Classified info being LEFT LAYING AROUND so Hunter could PROVE he was "the smartest man I know" and get that $83,000 a month Burisma (Ukraine) job!! WE HAVE THE EVIDENCE!! Now it's TIME TO PUT THESE TRAITORS IN FRONT OF THE FIRING SQUAD!!
And 10% "for the Big Guy" who ran the operation in the first place and it's none other than TRAITOR JOE BIDEN!!
On April 13, 2014, Hunter Biden sent an email to his business partner in Burisma, Devon Archer. Now, he sent this a week before his father, the vice president, flew to Ukraine to meet with Ukraine's prime minister. In the email, Hunter Biden composed a detailed memo with nearly two dozen data points about the political and strategic situation on the ground in Ukraine. What's so immediately striking and Miranda Devine pointed this out, having read the entire laptop, is that this email bears no resemblance to anything else we have that Hunter Biden has ever written. In fact, it sounded like something produced by the State Department.
There's no question that Hunter Biden used classified materials to assemble this email. Listen carefully: "The strategic values to create a land bridge for RU to Crimea," he writes at one point. Notice he uses the diplomatic abbreviation for Russia, RU, because he's in the know. "That won't directly affect Burisma holdings, but it will limit future UK exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities in particular." "It will also," Hunter Biden added, "further destabilize the UK nationally and for whatever government is in power and the US will respond with even stronger sanctions. Those sanctions will threaten the tenuous support of the EU, which does not have the political will to incur steep energy price increases" and so on.
