    This is almost humorous, in light of the current administration's interference with the press (protected by the First Amendment), private universities, canceling wind-generated energy projects,...

    Beerman replied to luv2's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'll concede that I haven't heard anyone advocate for the elimination of private property. So, you've been able to point out one difference. However, Democrat Socialists want to eliminate...

    toomuchbaloney replied to luv2's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    That's why theauthoritarians lie about regulations. They've effectively convinced republican voters that our democratic republic is in need of destruction because it tries to regulate the greed to...

    Yes. There's something to be said for a mechanism by which bad actors are held at least financially responsible for the damage they do, while skipping the expense and disruptions of a trial. Not...

    And there's the sticking point: regulated capitalism. This is what scares the offal out of conservatives, honest and con men alike, The idea is what makes "communism" such an effective dog whistle...

    Tweety replied to luv2's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Is that a serious question? If you only scratch the surface you can say "well taxing the rich and distributing it to social programs" sure sounds like communism. Owning grocery stores sure sounds...

    toomuchbaloney replied to luv2's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    There's also apparently no difference now between a republican conservative and a fascist, so there's that to balance that imagined scenario. Since fascists are the folks in control of all of the...

    Minneapolis tried to freeze the rent. Aisha Chughtai, the VP of the City Council of Minneapolis, could not respond to the utter failure. Why should NY hope it works? We should practice evidence-based...

    My point was that Smartmatic has a much sketchier history than Dominion. In this defamation case, it has to be proven that damages were incurred due to the actions of Fox. It's harder to damage the...
