The reason Vance has to call Socialism what it is not, is because the principles of socialism are actual more in line with democracy than the oligarchical neoliberal capitalism they support The role of the state is to take care of its people, capitalism is hurting the people so the state must act

Trump is the one who messed it all up after Biden brought us back faster than other countries because of what happened with prices due to COVID. Piggy caused it all to happen now.

This is an excellent point. When pro-democracy, anti-corruption forces get power, they won't need elaborate new laws to start getting Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, Peter Thiel, and other tech oligarchs out of government. They've almost certainly committed fraud and other already existing crimes.

She has obviously decided to tamper in US domestic politics on the side of the Republican Party despite being screwed over and sold out by Trump, and should be treated as a foreign Republican operative by Democrats moving forward.

After the First Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, and the Iran War, Republican voters are just going to have to accept at some point that warmongering is their brand, despite how often the people who start them talk about peace.

A cop warns on the price of witnessing death.
As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don't have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

The two Democratic leaders are Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. They had a duty to step up and say something about this. They have chosen instead to be silent. Both should be dismissed from their leadership positions.

Chris Matthews asked why Schumer and Jeffries aren't condemning Fuckface's 'let them take out Los Angeles line'. Newsom, Karen Bass, and San Diego's mayor already did, and Newsom wants the 25th Amendment. Rahm Emanuel called the White House defense the cleanup crew.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.
