Socialism

Ferkrissakes, do we REALLY need to be talking about this bullshit.

Yes, BULLSHIT.

A few years back it was "Liberal" vs "Progressive"

These are STUPID debates.

Who is more left?

I am lefter than you are.

Oh yeah? So's yer mother.

Sez'oo?

Nyah nyah nyah

STOP IT.








Yes, I know what socialism means. Yes, a lot of what we support is socialist. A lot of what the righties support is also socialist - just a different flavor. But the word is loaded and has been since the 1950s. There is no upside to allowing this silliness to go any further . . . . excerpt for the TrumParty.

Now our largest trading partner is Communist (China) and you seldom ever hear anything about it.

My point is the squabbling and making the word an issue.

This is why we get beat by the GOP.

BULLSHIT often created by us. Or even just one or two of us.
