No it is f•cking not!
I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.

The typical response from a jealous liberal with shitty health insurance and student loans working at TGI Fridays is.. "All of the bad things about socialism will NEVER happen in America. Nope, everything will stay the "same", I will screw a bunch of random guys, still smoke dope, still wear leggings to work, but people will have free "universal" healthcare and college. Yep. That's the mindset you are dealing with. America will not "change" at all under socialism. People will just get more free stuff.

Ahh, the good ol' NY Times. Ever the reliable ball-washers for Marxism since Walter Duranty wrote his lies for the same paper.

It's well established that successful, developed countries tend towards democratic socialism to help those left behind.

You are I will disagree whether a corrupt dictatorship is encompassed by the term "socialism," and you will ignore that term "democratic."
With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.

You guys consider any of the Western European countries to be socialist, but the Scandinavian countries in particular.
