The religious need to get over it and be grateful that covid rate is so low there.

Wasn't Jesus essentially a socialist?

New Zealand, like Florida, has its fair share of dangerous mental incompetents.

Maybe they should make the members sign a waver for medical treatment if they get covid. Then you could let them gather.

Obviously he doesn't realize that New Zealand is just about as close as you can be to socialism while still having a capitalist economy lol

Republicans have no idea what they're talking about when they bitch about socialism. They equate the word, "socialism" with n overbearing, restrictive government that will lead to bread lines, government cheese, and dogs for dinner. What liberals mean when we talk about socialism are social programs designed to aid people with things like tuition-free college and Medicare 4 All.

All Democratic Socialism is, is a means of making critical opportunities like higher education and healthcare available to everyone which is a wise investment into the future of our country. All they can see is "Venezuela!! Venezuela!! Venezuela!!"

It's exhausting trying to get them to get their heads outta their asses on this topic.

Try telling that to faithfucks.

Ignorance stands in the way of social justice. Fundamentalist thinking is ignorance.
