Bernie Sanders can call himself a strawberry crepe if he wants to. He's a new deal democrat. Not only just a social democrat but one who lines up to support every foreign adventure the US sets out on.

And you're dodging the point. This is a country that murders leftists when they get too organized. You're not allowed to vote for another system.

Big brain here

So what do you call it when you can only vote for a capitalist?

How about you ask them what they want instead of using them as pawns because you think you'll get two senators?

You can't use personal experiences as evidence when you're staying anonymous and won't say what those experiences were. If you're 60 years old you got a solid 10 years of socialism in the last phase of being overtaken by the west to make adult brained judgements about it.

Let's start with how old you are. Are you 60 or older? And what country are you talking about?

Can we just go back to saying communists please?

Communists are also socialists just as apples are also fruit. I was using socialism in the broad sense.

Well to be fair to hating the west for committing genocides to accomplish this, it's not like a lot of them had a choice.

I'm skeptical of ranked choice voting being a panacea after watching Eric Adams get elected in New York

Yours is a failure of imagination. There's no alternative between the current order and god from heaven coming down to smite the bad people? Because I say a strategy that was tried in the past didn't work, and has observable and learnable outcomes, that saying it's not the path to achieving what you want is the exact same as saying we should kill off the human race? Right?

Batshit reply. Not sure what the Adam Smith filler is for.

I think the fact that John F Kennedy didn't get reelected is evidence that perhaps he wasn't a very good president.

People in the USSR had a very hard life due to the downfall of socialism

my evidence that a thing is bad is that when you take it away things turn to shit

Can you provide me any example of socialism currently that works at scale in a multiethnic country that does not rely on others for military protection?

Are you one of those "norway can only have healthcare because they're all white" people? Why would having more than one ethnicity in a country make doing things harder or easier? Not to avoid the question, China.

You're not joking. You're saying "I agree with you" in the most obnoxious smarmy way possible.
