Schools ok with kids turning into different sexes
Our schools want smart kids to be equal to dumb kids so they don't teach higher classes for advance children

Higher FICO scores mean you have fees and don't get the best interest rates anymore. Lower FICO scores mean better rates

Up is down and down is up

Homeless people can sue you if you want them off your property.

Criminals don't stay in jail but the victim is the bad person and can be punished.

Those that kill Christians are worshiped because they are trans but the Christians that were killed aren't recognized or mentioned or prayed for by this administration. It's all about the trans killer and how awful for him/her/they/they/it.

People that are a part of an insurrection in TN are praised and treated at the white house. Crazy backwards everything.

Stupid PRONOUNS. calling boys, sperm producers.

Woke crap

Bad economy

We have a leader that belongs in an old folks home and barely knows he's alive. How is that even allowed?
etc etc etc.

If these people in office want everyone equal, then where is the motivation to do good and work hard to make this country great?!!!! These people want to dumb everyone down.

What's good about any of this that people would actually vote for 4 more years of this?
With kids asking him simple questions at the White House......How many grandkids do you have ?...What was the last foriegn country you visited ?.......that he couldn't answer. One of the other kids had to tell him () that the last foriegn country that he visited was Ireland.

Anyway, to clear matters up so everybody can be on the same page;
Marxism and Democratic Socialism are two entirely different things.

Marxism is how we get things like the Soviet Union.

Democratic Socialism is how we get roads, airports, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and anything else that serves all members of the public like parks and other recreation areas, mail service, and agencies that inspect our food and drugs, study how to cure and protect us from diseases, protect our natural resources, and a thousand other things you may enjoy the benefits of but take for granted.

Big, big difference.

Maybe because some people want a system that works well for more than 1% of the population.

Communism < Socialism > Capitalism
Extremism < Middleground > Extremism

Nothing you mentioned has anything to do with socialism. I am not on the left nor want the above.

Socialism is when the government controls the means of production. Its an economic theory. All you mentioned is culture war silliness. And you don't mention any real issues facing America. Inflation, runaway debt. Looming world wars. The problem of electric cars being pushed on is. China controlling too much manufacturing. The influx of illegals. But you are obsessing over pronouns. . When does that come up in your everyday life? My guess is NEVER.

The election comes down to a few swing states and a few thousand votes either way. Nothing to do with the country as a whole supporting Biden or not supporting Biden. It comes down to how a small sliver of Americans view things.

If the left wants everyone to use pronouns their way and wants trans people respected exactly how they want it and in exchange is willing to balance the budget within 10 years, cut taxes and agree that the southern border is secure from illegal drugs and illegal people. I would 100% be for that. Politics is making deals not constant fighting. That is if you care about this country. If its all about fighting and bickering well we have that now. And its not working. My guess is you on the fringe right and those on the fringe left just want to bicker and fight. You don't really want solutions.

From each according to his ability, TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEED.

Free stuff. Nevermind that bit at the beginning, we're just gonna ignore that. My teachers never mentioned it anyway, and you never hear about it on twitter. Give unto me according to my need.

Because it sounds good, and because they want something for nothing.

I doubt that even you actually believe that.

It’s funny how liberals never point to any Latin American country or African country as a role model for the United States.
