DNC Caucus Call - "Don't say socialism ever again"

Yeah, the GOP uses the word “socialist” rather loosely these days. It’s pretty meaningless the way the GOP uses it.

As far as the “defund” phrase, I do think the Democrats hurt themselves with that one. While what they were proposing wasn’t anything nearly that sinister, using the phrase “defund” to describe it was a bad move.

There’s a reason Republicans don’t run around talking about de-funding social security. That would be about a unpopular.

As long as giving free healthcare to illegals is stuffed in the bill, there will be no passing it or flipping the senate,… They should also probably take out not having to have a voter identification to vote, I still haven’t worked out how that will help against COVID-19.

SO now you think Dem Donor Puppets are someone we should listen too? The ones crying about it in the DNC are as right wing as most many actual GOP and about as dumb.

Did not hurt Trump, but then again he is a NYC liberal not a Republican.

He didn’t come out and say that. Neither did the party members. And I don’t believe they have voted to repeal it either.

Although they may have in 2017(?) , only to get their butts handed to them in 2018.

Having illegals not get on healthcare costs us more than if they had it. We are always going to have a segment of population working illegally to keep our fruits and veggies cheap. And NYC upper class restaurants need workers in kitchen. Emergency room visits are 100x more costly then preventative measures. Or is it not about economics to some why they don’t want the brown people on healthcare?

So provide healthcare to the entire world then. Not sustainable, but I doubt it matters to those who advocate that position.

Also, I know of no major Republican who proposes defunding social security. There is that.
You might have had a point 70 years ago.

High end New York City restaurants need cooks :slight_smile: at least half of those restaurants are gone forever after COVID-19. We’re not asking for the fourth reich just to follow the laws of the land.

Or maybe they understand that the “Transformative Progressive Agenda” will turn the country into a third-world nation.

Are they legal? You know the just enough ones.

I disagree. I think defunding the police is a splendid idea.

How much of that is pensions?

Don’t know.

The NYPD does have over $600 million annually in paying out tort claims against them.

That seems like a cost that could be reduced.

Lol, that was the first thing I saw, too!

Oh no, we forgot to massage our horrible idea into more palatable language. Or in plain English, they’re onto us Jim, run.

Maybe we shouldn’t vote for the people who are in bed with the lawyers suing cities?

don’t say freedom ever again
