The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people’s lives better.

    The Nordic model is social democracy, and therefore pro-capitalism. No country that I know of has implemented socialism as described by self-described Marxist economist Richard Wolff (forcing all corporations to be owned by its workers, or as we call them, worker-owned co-ops).

    I am more socialist than Williamson is, but since social democracy is the furthest left idiology I can vote for, it is what I am going to vote for. If you disagree with Williamson’s platform as listed on the link I posted, then we can agree to disagree.

    And again on the “stoned suburban mom” point, it has nothing to do with policy, so I don’t care. Attacking someone based on their “vibes” or whatever is not a path of discussion I am interested in.

    If you are a capitalist who believes in a social safety net (social democracy), then cool. I got nothing wrong with that.

      It literally has to do with her policy tho. It’s just the same topics with dumber actual solutions than anyone else is proposing on the D side.

        We can agree to disagree then. I do not think her solutions are dumb, nor do I think standard Democrats support a social democracy (which is what I consider to be the absolute bare minimum in terms of policy). I also judge Democrats based on their voting record and not what their platform says.
