She's a democratic socialist who for some reason thinks it's advantageous to call herself a socialist.

So like the second thing but she also happens to fall into the same group that doesn't know what the word means that's unfortunate.

Some confusion with the mask mandate because it is required in schools, and a lot of voting stations are held in schools.

There is no room to give people the benefit of the doubt on a non-existent mask mandate.  It would defy logic that there was any confusion as they established procedures for the vote this evening.

That age group didn't live through the Cold War.

Democratic Socialists are Socialists...they just add the “Democratic” because they think it will make it easier for Americans to digest...think “lipstick on a pig”...👍

 

But make no mistake, there is nothing democratic about socialists...because in order to be democratic you have to believe in individual liberty- and socialists do not...they are Marxists...

 

So the term “Democratic Socialist” is a mirage to distract from who they truly are...

Quick and dirty look at VA gov returns, seems like Youngkin flipped 12 counties/cities that went for Biden last year, and increased republican share in nearly every county/city that went for Trump.

No.  I think the key distinction is they are fundamentally anti-capitalist and believe the government should urge privately owned businesses toward granting workers as much control as possible.

Capitalist and Socialist aren't a coin where you're either on one side or the other, there is so much room in between and we do ourselves a serious disservice not to recognize that.

The tipping point for capitalists is when private citizens start their own space programs, while the tipping point for socialists is when money starts becoming worthless.

 

How is it possible that we're hitting both at the same time?

And the Carlyle Group M&A guy with the Harvard MBA and a net worth of $440 million is our newest populist anti-elitist leader in the clubhouse!

Well, I understand what you’re saying...but I think people tend to confuse being a capitalist with big government handouts (not socialism), and and being a socialist, where the state controls the means of production and distribution, as well as dictating the means of individual citizens of a society...

 

”Democratic” Socialists have worked tirelessly, over the years, to blur the lines between the two...

 

Europe, for example, has high taxes, and spends a lot on government handouts- but they are not socialist...👍
