The lies of our Socialists running for office will now take center stage

[Weedhopper]

Is that why they campaign for free healthcare for illegal aliens?

@sikofit

Good luck with that one

[Weedhopper]

The economy is greater thanks to Trump erasing Obama policies that were hurting Americans!

[Weedhopper]

What do you call using Americans to pay for free healthcare?
Slaves

Did you seriously just try to assert that the economy got worse under Obama?

Hey John, thoughts on these two previous questions?

Here you go again, John. Can you name anyone in federal government, in any party, who advocates an unfettered free market? All are quite comfortable with pork and the redistribution of wealth, in varying degrees.

Trump’s $16 billion bailout of farmers hurt by trade wars? Is that not your dreaded confiscation of ‘the property working people have earned by the sweat of their labor and redistributing this ‘capital’ for the personal economic needs of others’?

[Cynic]

Our emergency rooms already do that, in a far worse way.

Try again.

I will let the extracted quote that I have highlighted to speak for itself.

@Optrader

Both of them, especially Pelosi are far richer than most Americans. There is not such thing as a rich socialist because socialism doesn’t ever produce wealth or prosperity or equality.

[westaussie]

In any western society universal health care should be a given.

You are correct about crony corporate capitalism practiced by Nancy Pelosi. But what you are not seeing is, this is part of “democratic capitalism”, AKA communism and socialism, where those in power, and their pals, live large on the taxpayers dime. What she practices has nothing to do with a free enterprise, free market system where the people are left free to succeed or fail at their own hand.

Democratic capitalism

That sounds like what the US actually is… not socialism or communism.

@fallenturtle

You can’t be a socialist or a communist and desire an economy that involves capitalism. Go to your local DSA meeting and tell them Pelosi is a socialist and watch them laugh at you.

My goodness! I think you ought to consider what “Capitalism” is. To be accurate, the significant feature of capitalism is the investment and manipulation of capital to achieve an anticipated profit and/or goal.

Communist and Socialist governments practice capitalism. Under government capitalism, taxation is used to confiscate private “capital” which is then re-invested to achieve government goals. But under our Constitution, those “goals” are defined and limited beneath Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 ____ limitations which our federal government has transgressed, and in so doing, has all but destroyed our once free enterprise, free market system.

JWK

Don’t try to gaslight me. Almost every definition of capitalism mentions in the first sentence that it involves PRIVATE ownership by individuals and/or companies. You aren’t arguing in a bubble, dictionaries and encyclopedias exist.

“Communist government” is an oxymoron. Once communism is achieved, there is no formal government.

By definition, a government can’t engage in capitalism. When the public sector is engaging in the market its called Market socialism: Market socialism - Wikipedia

What you’re describing is literally just referred to as government spending: Government spending - Wikipedia

@highroller

So corporatism has now been added to the definition of “socialism”?

The ever encompassing definition continues…

Your misrepresentation is noted. Crony corporate capitalism as practiced by Nancy Pelosi is inclusive in socialism. You apparently have not been paying attention to what has been written.

Dude, there is no capitalism in socialism.

Bingo, especially with Obama’s record number of Americans on food stamps. He must be proud of that accomplishment!

[Weedhopper]

What you are saying has nothing to do with those Democrats campaigning for the illegal votes.

Pass the bongs bro.

[Weedhopper]

The cost of healthcare makes your idea untouchable and a fantasy! Those pushing free healthcare know it will bankrupt America and don’t care!

[Weedhopper]

What’s the fake news telling you?

[Cynic]

There is no “illegal voting”.

I am sorry you are lost without your homie Q, is the storm still coming?

[Weedhopper]

You’re another person scared of Q.

Americans on food stamps > Americans not getting enough food to eat.

Ahh, so what day should I grab my raincoat?
