Democrats' Far-Left Lean Risks More Than the Presidency

Not at all friendly to Trump, some interesting points about the left, and a warning of "dire consequences"...



Because the liberals keep boasting about the takeover of the House, I thought this was part was especially interesting....

Democrats recaptured the House in 2018 because 40 moderates took seats Republicans won in 2016. If the party is deemed far-left in 2020, Democrats could lose control of the House and Trump could once again operate without any serious congressional oversight.

But you guys believe anything left of Reagan to be socialism. So why should anyone take it seriously when US Conservatives cry wolf that this or that leftist person is socialist?

Oh come on Cow Poke, there's a lot of posters on this forum who are all over the place when it comes to what socialism is, or isn't, or whether its "socialism lite", "communism lite" or just welfare. While the same people will point out that Denmark is not socialism, despite having a lot of the policies accused of being socialism.

I'm not into arguing what socialism is. To me, it's kinda like the definition of porn - you'll know it when you see it.

At any rate, "socialism" can just be redefined as "Any policy that US conservatives disagree with."

Orson Welles was once brought before a hearing on being accused of unamerican activities, due to his associations with left-leaning theaters. So he cheekily asked them to define "Socialism" and was told.

"Well... Socialism is when the government takes your money and gives it to other people."
"In that case I am 37% socialist, the rest of me is capitalist."

I'll see if I can get a link to the interview where he said it.

And I'm sure you'd be very happy there being no congressional oversight of a wannabe dictator. Be careful what you wish for!

You are "sure" of lots of incredibly wrong notions.

I wish Jimmy had a brain.
