She would make a great dictator

we aren't talking about some blue state senator from a rural washington county

thats not what the article is about, if you read more than headlines you would realize this and not have an uninformed opinion and go into discords and act like you know what you are talking about

@leftingfighter33 socialism has fantastic until it becomes outsized and overbearing

I'm not following... Still need coffee.

And corrupt

@leftingfighter33 No, I think people are smarter than you think.

these aren't just empty threats made by some low level DNC member

AOC would Send republicsns to reeducation camps and those who refuse conversion would be ousted from society. No credit cards, no loans, no social media, etc
...

@leftingfighter33 they would if they could...

I believe that

What on earth...

@Maw I'm a troll again, apparently.

The structure of the US Military shares many of the characteristics of socialism. Fixed pay, free healthcare, GI's are literally considered legal property of the state... Our military is arguably the best in the world - despite and more likely because of this structure.

All good dictators pu ish their political opponents once they get into power.

LOL

In China they take it a step further and outright execute you

@TaLoN132 I wouldn't disagree with that at all

what a straw grasp

"socialism is good because our military uses it and is the best in the world"

holy shit

So you are saying that every idea sprouted by any elected member of any party has resulted in that idea being enacted. I am not following you, here.

As previously cited municipal and socialize could be used interchangeably

@SPEARS No need to name calling... We are exchanging ideas and I am trying to understand your perspective.

Stop ad homming people.

It's the corrupt authoritarian piece that is despicable

Debate civilly with one another.

I am saying the most popular member of the DNC is calling for re-education camps, and blacklisting private citizens of the opposing politcal party and beliefs. this is dangerous and awful. This is what Mccarthy was crucified for. McCarthy was probably right though because he knew it would lead to this shit. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/11/922849505/healing-u-s-divides-through-truth-and-reconciliation-commissions

@SPEARS, you just advanced to level 4!

and yes this is turning into a party platform

and no, calling this out isnt right wing fear mongering

This is not a platform where we allow vehement rhetoric between sides, it's not conducive to productive discussions.

So please refrain from throwing insults at one another.

If you feel like you cannot debate or discuss civilly, please take a moment to relax in real life before continuing.

maw there is a line that zulu and the other leftists constantly cross. by belittling and demeaning people who actually have a more informed opinion than they do. they do it constantly. any time at any hour I check chat and zulu is in here being an arrogant prick from a holier than though position that he isnt even informed about

if they wish to do this they deserve to be called out and belittled as well

You're doing it right now by saying they're uninformed and their opinion means less.

I belittle no one.

@SPEARS I was reacting to the false dichotomy that all aspects of socialism are bad. We have a mixed structure that includes aspects of socialism and have from the start. The left trying to win every argument by calling conservatives fascists or authoritarians is just as bad as the right calling all liberals socialist and commies. It's counterproductive to what we can accomplish otherwise.

yes maw, that is my point. they are bullying and shutting people out with other opinions than themselves.
