    Default ABOUT THAT "SOCIALISM" THING...

    ...I have a few words to say about it...from a personal perspective.

    In a couple of posts recently, it has been asserted that I would not vote for a socialist for president. I have said point blank that I would...and almost certainly will this next election, because I think Bernie Sanders will be the Democratic Party nominee (Bernie is a socialist)...and I intend to vote for the Democratic Party nominee, even if they were to nominate Satan.

    Trump is so bad, I now consider ANYONE to be preferable.

    Hell yeah, I'd vote for a socialist...and do so proudly.

    My personal political objective is to see EVERYONE have plenty of the things needed (food, clothing, shelter, education, medical care, transportation, communication)...and at least some of the things that are wanted, but not necessarily needed.

    I want that to be the case BEFORE anyone has to work in order to obtain it.

    I am told my many that that cannot happen under our current economic system. So...I say switch to another system, and see if it can happen under it. I certainly am willing to give socialism a chance.

    Other than that, I am waiting for the weather to change so I can get away from this goddam computer a bit more...and play some golf.
    ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!

    In other words, you want things given to you because you're too goddamn lazy and stupid to earn them yourself. Got it.

    If someone isn't willing to work to provide even the basics to him/herself, they deserve to die a horrible, lingering death.

    So you are on board for the "anybody but Trump candidate"

    The "socialism" rant only plays in the Fox bubble, why they pound it home in nearly all their reports, but Americans today aren't locked into the thinking of the Cold War era, especially the younger people, if we have learned anything from the last two elections, image weighs much more than ideology

    Didn't I mention the Fox bubble and Cold War thinking, and then it pops up right on cue

    Translation

    I will vote against Trump no matter what may happen to the country! My feelings are more important than the well being of the nation.


    Got it Frank!

    Not exactly sure what you are saying here, Archives, but I am saying that I personally have no problem voting for a socialist. Whether Bernie is or is not a socialist...is beyond my pay grade. He SAYS he is a socialist...and I take him at his word.

    I intend to support the major party candidate running against Trump...no matter what.

    I think free enterprise is an essential to a successful economy...but I have no problem whatever borrowing very freely from socialistic norms.

    I doubt we will ever become a totally socialistic country, but I am positive that we would benefit greatly from allowing considerable socialistic economic integration.

    Lastly, I am bored out of my fucking mind...and I thought this theme's time has come. Been thinking about a thread like this one for months...and with no golf on the horizon...why not do it now.

    Yes Frank, we know you'd vote for Satan, the most horrific and evil bastard who will bring on Armageddon and destroy the world, over Trump. And you say you don't hate Trump
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    The only thing possible that could happen with Trump gone...is for the country to be the better for it.

    You cannot see that.

    Okay.

    The assholes who supported Hitler during the 1930's couldn't see the problem with him either.

    Like...what could go wrong?

    It is a difficult thing for conservatives, especially Trump supporting conservatives, to fathom...but it is so.

    Another example of someone that doesn't stand FOR anything. Nothing more than whining.

    Frank, it is obvious to anyone with second grade reading skills to see you hate Trump.

    So high unemployment and record numbers on food stamps is a good thing to you?

    Hopefully you'll have a heart attack while on the course.
