That’s why they are called fake news. When liberals claim democracy they are actually referring to partial socialism.

No and neither did Trump. But only one side is gleeful about it.

If Trump takes the responsible steps necessary, we could easily recover from this crisis economically. Considering that he has no qualms spending money that the US doesn't have, I'm confident that the economy will stabilize. And Trump will have to break his promise to either tax those who he said would benefit from his Presidency or cut more spending on medicaid, medicare, and social security. Something that wouldn't be necessary if he had not provided tax cuts to the rich in the first place.

Wrong! The Democrats just voted down a massive stimulus bill. Get your head out of your ass! The Democrats want this recession. All they care about is defeating Trump.

Um. Last time we were in a crisis and both Democrats and Republicans rushed something through, we got the patriot act. About ten years later we were all "shocked" the NSA was using technology to spy on US citizens. Lets us not be so quick to judge Democrats for their caution, mmkay?

Democrats and Republicans are always going to disagree. A lack of compromise is a failure on both parts, not on just the one. Republicans knew better and thought this would give them the push they needed to rush in a few more tax cuts to the rich. That is just not going to fly no matter how you slice it at this time. The rich NEED to be taxed.

That's just the way it f**king is.

The rich are taxed. We know what is going on here.

That you're just trying to one-up a stranger on the internet because someone told you to be outraged about something?

We have real things to be outraged about. Real Republicans don't need government handouts, remember?

I have. That's why I don't support communism.

Neither do I.

And I already proved that Socialism doesn’t equal communism.

Do you know why it’s so popular with kids?

In socialism, taxes go to the poor. (Old, disabled, disenfranchised)

In communism, taxes go to wherever the rich decides. (Which usually means themselves.)

So, you know all those elected officials in office who get in from the most campaign spending? Guess whom they prioritize when push comes to shove.

Fortunately, we’re not completely communist. Nor are we completely capitalist. Nor are we purely capitalist as I do not think capitalism even takes into account a tax system. So it is difficult to say how a government is even suppose to function without it.

And I don’t mean by 18th century standards when our leaders were landowners voted in by other landowners. There is no way our government can function on a fiefdom or a purely capitalist/taxless system. Nor by purely siphoning money from trade or electing the richest people. We need people with creative solutions, ideas, and compassions. Not an oligarchy. And certainly not a dictatorship because you’re too scared to vote for anything but one party.

You claim the Democrats only want one party to rule yet think about what YOU are saying. You’re saying you’ll only vote Republicans because you’re afraid of one party dominating the political spectrum whereas I have already spoken I vote based on individuals and not party.

So which one of us supports a one party system exactly?

Wrong, kids hate old people. They just want free shit.

As far as your “proven” shit goes: You are wrong:

socialism noun

so·​cial·​ism | \ ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm \
Definition of socialism
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

What are you talking about? Kids love grandparents! Or my kids do. Do you think maybe you’re generalizing there a little bit?

So you’re against capitalism too because it’s also part of Marxist theory?

We are outraged and we are blaming your party.

I don't have a Party. I vote based on individuals and their ability to govern. How about you?

Wrong. There is a push to overthrow capitalism and replace it with socialism. Socialism is defined as the transition to communism. The government takes over business and industry, confiscates private property, and replaces the market economy with a planned one.

Yes, that same theory that socialism leads to communism also posits that capitalism leads to socialism. So is captalism evil now because of a theory based off Marxist ideas? No.

And again, you're missing my point. Socialism is an economic structure. It has nothing to do with social programs. People call social programs socialist in nature, and they're not exactly wrong but they do not inherently dismantle the free market. Social Democrats are only advocating boosting social programs we have and expanding the reach of education and healthcare. Do I agree with all their polices? Again, no. Do I think there is a nefarious mission to take over the government? No. I'm sorry, I don't.

And nor do a lot of people. And yelling and screaming about the failures of a completely different econnomic structure, calling two different structures the same thing, doesn't make you look like an individual that will cultivate a following of people who question the status quo but fall in line to a new one. Which, I hope you understand, is counterproductive if you're intention is to prevent a communist overthrow (that isn't happening.)

Besides, the government already has stakes in some businesses and industry. Certain services such as military, education, banks, emergency services, communications, research, and health are already heavily intertwined and regulated by government. Even Trump advocates a bit of socialism when he threatens to punish businesses for not keeping manufacturing and trade strictly inside the US. Trump confiscated private property to build his wall. And Trump certainly tries to make it sound like his actions are plans to strengthen the economy. In short, socialism, in theory, is already a fundamental part of the US government.

And there are some things the government should provide it's citizens by payment of taxes. Not just military and not just the indecent money grabbers in congress who make people like you and me do all their argument for them. Healthcare, education, emergency services, social programs, and Military SHOULD be paid by our taxes.

Banks and communications should not. Of course, that is just my opinion. And I completely understand if you have different priorities in those groups. But dismantling them for the sake of reliving debt and letting spending go out of control are firmly what I'm against. And you should be against that too.

I am forced to remain a Republican because the Democrats have become communist.

The Social Democrats are a direct byproduct of both Republicans and, for lack of a
better word, conservative Democrats borrowing money from Social Security and other necessary social programs. The Republican party has always seemingly admitted that eventually social programs would have to be dismantled. Labeling entitlements. Misunderstanding that those entitlements have been paid into and are not exactly socialist in nature.

The emergence of these liberal Republicans, especially those in recent years, have only exacerbated things. You can easily recognize some of them with their fervent determination to dismantle Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, etc. They have no sense of what it means to be a fiscal conservative and are eager to spend money the US does not have. Trump is the worst of these and his supporters make the Tea Party Republicans blush in comparison to their liberal ideas that they claim to be conservative. You might call it anti-establishment Republicanism. They. Are. Liberals.

The Social Democrats primary goal is NOT to convert our economy from a quasi-capitalist structure into a strictly socialist structure. It is, primarily, to keep our social programs intact and to prioritize government spending on the old, the veterans, the sick, the young, and the poor. In that order.

Now, I'm not saying Social Democrats are saints from heaven descending in a time of crisis or that Republicans and conservative Democrats are revolting in anyway! I'm merely saying that I agree with a handful of their policies though I have concerns of their spending just as I do with Republicans right now who seem determine to keep giving tax cuts to the rich who do not need them. Yes, the rich ARE taxed and yes they are probably taxed more than any other country. But OUR country SPENDS that money. MORE THAN it taxes! Right now our tax system ONLY seems to give breaks to the poor and the rich. Eventually that structure will NOT HOLD. And it's like playing a game of reverse musical chairs. Whoever sits, loses. Right now the music is still playing... eventually it's going to stop!

No party in the US is currently advocating communism. And anyone who claims that socialism and communism are the same thing should then unlearn the colloquial term RINO.

Cause ya ain't arguing with a Democratic voter. But a former registered Republican who last voted for Romney and Republican Presidents for over 30 years, kiddo.

You are very wrong.

In fact, there are a number of US third parties that are communist. Like Bob Avakian's Revolutionary Communist Party and the Communist Party USA.

Democrats have been increasingly embracing Marxist ideas for 10 years now. Communism is now very popular among millennials. The Democratic party's far-left embrace is what has allowed for someone like Bernie Sanders to run in the party in the first place. I constantly hear communistic speech from liberal Democrats.

Excuse me, I misspoke. No parties IN OFFICE advocates communism. And those you're sure to accuse them of, advocate SOCIALISM not communism. And even still, those few Social Democrats that admit to being socialists are smaller in number in an already small faction of Democrats. So, relax.

IDK what you are trying to prove to me? I have shown you the polls of the increasing number of millennials and Gen Z who want communist rule. I have seen how Democrat politicians speak, I have seen the flubs from politicians like Maxine Waters accidentally admitting stuff (we gonna socialize). I have seen people like AOC and the Squad bash capitalism. I know what socialism is defined as because it is defined very well in Webster’s dictionary as government ownership of the means of production and elimination of private property. I
have seen the blogs and comments from Democrats desiring things like a one-party state and elimination of freedom. When Obama was ruler I heard Democrats use this type of language all the time. Desiring a dictatorship, eliminating the constitution. They only started trying to act constitutional again when Trump was elected. Eve now Democrats still have groups like Antifa running around.

Ok. I refuse to be scared of the things you're scared of.

"You misunderstand me. I've lived in this country for over 50 years. Communism doesn't start dictatorships. Scared people being made afraid of groups of people do."

Care to elaborate??

Read world history.

Well, I don’t want to live under it. So you can go to China or Cuba if you want to live under that crap.

You misunderstand me. I've lived in this country for over 50 years. Communism doesn't start dictatorships. Scared people being made afraid of groups of people do.

Who knew Twitler watches and agreed with Bill Maher?

Moron

yes, Drumpf aint the brightest sharpie

I know you’re not.
