I support the advancement of Socialism controlling the Dem party, absolutely.

Keep moving further and further to Left, Democrats. Socialism has worked well in Europe (snicker) and Leftist politics in the USA won lots of elections during the seventies!

But you dont know anything about the issues, and just buy into meaningless labels. Do you even support the destruction of the UK national health care system and want an American system in the UK? You are way out of touch with even the Conservatives in the UK if you believe that.

All our closest allies are communist according to this rhetoric. Funny how the GOP love communist countries like the UK and Israel who are subsidized by the American taxpayer in order for them to invest in the quality of life of their people, like education and health care. The donor class is laughing at the stupidity of the American voter who support the billionaire class and special interests at the expense of themselves.

It sure has worked well.
Longer life span compared to the US.
Better Health Care, better access to Education.
37 (or 35 depending on the country) hour work week, with guaranteed maternity and paternity time off, 30+ paid vacation days.
Voting public is more engaged, higher voter turn outs etc etc.

I don't think you know what Communism means, PCALMike.

Dems should absolutely, unequivocally go all in if they think Americans will embrace Socialism.

Extreme low birth rates

You are the one who label our closest allies as socialist and communist just because they have national health care systems like every civilized country. Is Israel and the UK socialist countries or not?

Socialism means that workers own the means of production. Tell us which companies have workers in charge of the means of production after 8 years of Obama's presidency...no crickets...please tell us.

Also,Trump has already strongly signaled those countries in NATO not paying their agreed upon portion of the costs will have to begin to pay what they owe for military support by the US. Those millions and millions that must be paid going forward by the freeloading NATO countries will severely truncate the freebies they have bestowed on their citizens at the expense of the American taxpayers.
