What planet are you living on??? The progressive shift of the democratic party was a center point of the debate and has been all over the news. The burning question is whether the Dems will alienate all the moderate Republicans by being too progressive, i.e., socialist. A lot of people, me included, think that the moderate Republicans are ripe for grabbing from Trump because he is scaring the crap out of them. So the 2020 election is going to come down to the question of socialism - will moderate voters accept or reject what the Dems are doing?
I have to admit you pegged me. But I think it’s not a question of alienating, rather it is a question of welcoming moderate Republicans.
I don't think America has a good economic system. There's very few economic opportunities now in America unless you know the right people. So few in fact that I am considering emigrating. You can start a business anywhere. Why do you need to start one in a country where the cost of living is so high? I know of people in suppposed third world countries and they have more economic opportunities than us Americans. They're not starving, they're living comfortably while we're suffering.

What is your source for this, something anecdotal or an actual study about opportunities now in America?

How are you suffering compared to people "living comfortably" in third world countries? I'm betting you can flush toilet paper, drink the tap water, have central air, a garbage disposal, a dishwasher, and a car or two in the driveway, etc. I'm genuinely curious how your suffering compares to all these folks living it up in third world countries.

Do you think totalitarian systems or "supposed third world countries" are better in terms of it mattering who, rather than what, you know?

What a load of nonsense. You do not know a soul in any third world country with more economic opportunity than you. In the context you mean it - if you are suffering it's almost certainly your fault.

Raises hand. We are living large in a developing country. Lots more opportunity for us.
Oceanfront condo and affordable health care. So there.

No jobs though...gotta be retired.
I feel you but that's not what the other guy was talking about. I have a good friend who lives large on ~$1,800mo. in Ecuador. That's not the same either.
