That's exactly the system we have now.No, the optimum life under a socialistic system is a few people control all the money and power, and everyone else is just shit out of luck.
Listen this whole socialist BS stems from an uninformed populace/fear mongering by the GOP and Bernie/AOC stating they are a socialist and Millennials jumping on board.
A socialist country (truly socialist) would take over means of production (all business and manufacturing would be Nationally owned). Bernie has been pretty specific that isn't what he is advocating for, and no one on the Democratic stage has either. Having government Medicare for all is a socialist program, but a program that would be started because the country and their represented voted for it. In that way we are deciding how our tax dollars are being used, tax cuts and breaks for the wealthy, expanding the largest Military budget in the world, or health care for everyone. It would be our choice.
However, I am not blaming the populism and the fear that creates on just the GOP, the Democrats have to own that too, because of Bernie and AOC specifically.
Here are my thoughts so far, as one of the only Democrats here.
- Beto is a fucknut. The whole plan to go door to door to remove guns is asinine, and would't be Constitutional.
- Although I like the idea of Socialized Medicine, I am not entirely sure that would be Constitutional.
- Free public college for everyone is also pie in the sky.
- I'd rather they subsidize tuition to lower the costs
- Concentrate on Trade schools,
- Get the government out of the predatory college loan business
- Change the rules to allow young people to refinance those loans
- The problem with the entire lot of them is they feel like they are pandering, (except Bernie even if I don't agree with everything he says)
- Some are Pandering to moderates/never Trumpers/independents
- Others are pandering to left
- Be true to yourself and be consistent.
- I liked Harris for a minute, I thought she was Authentic after the first debate, just to watch her reverse everything she said the next morning.
- Their ideas on immigration for the most part (all of them) are just out there. I mean, come on, you are giving it to Trump.
