Ummmm, why?

@AnneWimsey Let's just focus on Bernie, He went on his honeymoon to the former Soviet Union, and came back talking about how great it was literally as the Soviet Union was falling apart.

@BD66 aaaannd, let's hold your feet to the fire over stuff you did/said 50, (fifty!) years ago, shall we?

@AnneWimsey Bernie was kicked out of a commune in 1971 because he wouldn't do any work. The video was in the late 80's when Bernie was probably 47 or 48 years old. Bernie is stil a commie today. Once a commie, always a commie for the last 48 years. The difference is the rest of the Democratic Party. In 1971, they shunned the communist ideas, but today they embrace them. That's why Trump is the lessor of two evils.

@BD66 you have no idea that there are Huge differences between communism & socialism, do you? Too bad so sad but you sure seem to enjoy your lack of knowledge......

Very similar and very terrible ideas.

I'll take Crazy Donald over Commie Bernie any day.

@BD66 so, I guess all those Scandinavian countries are a living hell, for example bankruptcy is common after an illness?

@AnneWimsey Scandinavian countries are capitalist countries with generous safety nets. Cuba and Venezuala are Socialist countries.

@BD66 ummmm, they describe Themselves as Socialist! So good of you to correct them. Also good to know you can post definitions with Absolutely No understanding of them! Tell me again about Police, Firefighters, sidewalks, schools....?

@AnneWimsey

Denmark's Prime Minister doesn't think so.

@BD66 because " market economy" and "socialism" are Not diametrically opposed, as you seem to think. The socialism part is where the government exists to help citizens have a better infrastructure & quality of life. The market economy provides the money to allow that. Duuuh.....

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

The Scandinavian countries are capitalist countries, not socialist countries. You are confusing a safety net and government benefits with Socialism.

I don't know which is stranger--atheists and agnostics for Trump or Christians for Trump. At this point, the only thing that makes sense to me is Trump for Trump.

@GarytheGondolier

But he couldn't be where he is, without the people who were for him, and the dummies who continue to support him.

Trump may find himself as alone in the end as did Richard Nixon at the end of his presidency--with most of his former supporters ashamed to defend him.

@GarytheGondolier it’ll be too late by then...the damage he and his supporters are doing will take years to repair..if ever.

@Marionville

That is absolutely right.
