[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a boomer or uneducated. I have two degrees. I am actually more against the Democratic Party than MAGA. Many people of varying backgrounds all over this country are horrified by the Democratic agenda of socialism, open borders, DEI, and transgender ideology. Democrats lost the most recent election due to their own poor policies and extremism. The sad thing is that they live inside their liberal bubble and are incapable of any self-reflection. They would rather attack voters for not choosing them than change their unpopular agenda. [/quote]

What do you consider socialism?[/quote]

Build Back Better was socialism. Thankfully, due to Joe Manchin, it did not pass, but Democrats were still able to pass another bill full of government subsidies and reckless spending. [/quote]

Socialism like Medicare, Social Security, the military, federal roads, etc? You're against all that?[/quote]Very few people, even Republicans, believe we don't need taxes to pay for the common good (everything you mentioned).  However, the difference between conservatives and progressives is how much more we spend on give-aways that aren't for the common good like welfare which is wealth redistribution which is socialist.  As a liberal Democrat, I'm not against welfare.  But I am against abuses of the system which seems quite broken.[/quote]

Do you now what costs the country more than aid for the poor? The tax breaks and loopholes that the 1% get. Very few of that 1% are reading this forum - most people reading this forum are negatively impacted by the Trump tax policies, and don't even realize how badly the American treasury is and will be getting raped by Trump and his oligarchs. But sure, go ahead and pretend that trump is a normal conservative like Adam Kintzinger. Note how all the traditional conservatives have been booted from the party. Big tent, right?[/quote]I don't deny any of that.  I was simply responding to PP's ridiculous comment about roads and the military being socialism.  The fact is that most progressives DO progressive want some form of socialism.  Our County just released a budget and equity (a Marxist concept) is one of the 3 main pillars.[/quote]
