By that same logic, you know when leftist say "socialism" what they really mean is a mixed market economy with true safety nets, and yet you choose to demonize them instead of having a real conversation because we all know most people actually support that model, the problem is paying for it and transitioning from a private sector to public sector solution when it comes to healthcare, education and housing
" because we all know most people actually support that model,"
By making such a claim you "demonize" all those who don't agree with you.
"instead of having a real conversation"
Many on the left do NOT engage in "having a real conversation"
The FIRST thing they do is insult others and call them names. The shout down any attempt by a person who disagrees with them, they riot, burn, etc. to STOP someone with different viewpoint from being heard.
"When you START a discussion with an insult, you have ALREADY lost THE DISCUSSION!"
Like they say, "You CANNOT have a reasonable discussion with an UN reasonable person!"
That's the most inarticulate and flat out ignorantly wrong post I've seen on CD. And that's sayin' something.
This conflagration of the two DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED extremist factions of their respective wings is foolishness. Unless you can just come up your own definitions, I suppose.
What color is the sky in your world?
"Unless you can just come up your own definitions,"
The constant narrative of the uneducated right claiming ppl are moving "due to liberal politics" is laughable and, quite frankly, bizarre. Really, it's just wishful thinking and misguided confirmation bias on their part.
Seems they don't want to attribute moves to the sunbelt to the real (common sense) combo of reasons: Milder weather and lower cost of living.
Were this not the case, we'd see migration to such places as Kansas, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, Indiana, West Virginia and other red bastions. But we do not see that, do we?
Aside from the right wing nut jobs in CA who hate the state because of ppl who don't look or think like them and who are obsessed with trying to tow the conservative mythology of California being overrun by commies, moving to other states has nothing to do with "liberal policies", lol.
Not rocket science.
The constant narrative of the uneducated left claiming ppl are NOT moving "due to liberal politics" is laughable and, quite frankly, bizarre.
I LIVE in 1 of those places "people are moving to" and the NO.1 REASON given is the political POLICIES have DRIVEN THEM OUT. They CANNOT AFFORD to stay because the liberal policies have caused he CoL to skyrocket BEYOND what they can AFFORD in retirement.

It doesnt demonize anyone to state a fact.
At best you mean alienate, and even that isnt true.

Except, its your side doing the insulting. So what you should direct your entire post at the right.
They call the right fascist. Then they cannot even see the socialism they push, is fascism.
World Socialism, or National Socialism? The same goal. Fascism.
You do realize that the National Socialists...the Nazis...were a far right wing party, right? Not socialists in the way you seem to be interpreting it. Hitler was no liberal.
