The SP33Demon puppet is boring, too predictable.
Whatever, I'll always still squat more than you. In fact, I texted my buddy today at our gym and asked him if anyone has ever squatted more than me besides him (he's a heavyweight, I'm 200lbs) since I left. He said nope, and it's probably going to be awhile before anyone does. And yes I was drug tested.

They will if you keep voting socialist. Do you really think socialists have it in them to not censor and control you? Think again. I'm all for you slamming Trump and Repubs, no qualms. I think that makes our democracy stronger to hear its weaknesses and address them. Socialists/Communists? You aren't going to be able to talk about anything you want or face imprisonment.

Socialism works beautifully as demonstrated by Norway, Sweden, Denmark. Unfortunately all the conservaterrorists use as examples of socialism isn't democratic socialism but rather authoritarian socialism.

Well I can point to a few cases of authoritarian capitalism being horrible too. Look at China and how many Chinese are being kicked out of their homes to make way for skyscrapers and their gardens and parks.. or to put it another way capitalism creating gentrification.

We're already seeing the effects here in the USA.

Yeah, socialists and communists. That's the ticket.

Fair point, but you are talking about populations of 5, 10, and 5 million (metropolitan area has more than 5 million people). I don't think it would work over a country that is 3 to 6 million % larger. Also, Norway has a right wing leader now. Right wing politics is also rising in Sweden and Denmark because of open borders. Hell Denmark is forcing muslims to separate with their children so they can be assimilated with "Whiteness" now. https://theslot.jezebel.com/denmark-to-separate-immigrant-children-from-their-famil-1827288868/amp Sounds like all's well in paradise, eh? Or they have to enact even more extreme measures than we do because the open borders are so bad there. We haven't even gotten to taxes yet. I would be curious to see how their GDPs are doing with the high taxation.

I do agree with you on China. And those people were probably not even compensated when they were kicked out. They also censor everything, and can imprison you for no reason. You have no rights there, I could see us going that route if socialists took over here. Socialists here seem to be very intent on censorship, I have no idea why (at least the ones I've met). It's almost as if having freedom of speech makes them even less tolerant to new ideas and viewpoints.

The considerations I would have for someone prepared to run for the US House apparently have no meaning for the Trumpie Base. They don't even have meaning for Trump: Trump is stupid enough to evaluate his judicial candidates against an Ivy League standard of attending Harvard, Yale, Princeton and so forth.

But I was concerned when Ocasio-Cortez was introduced as "a former bartender." What would she bring to bear on understanding how the
Congress works? I was much relieved to see that she had finished her degree at Boston University. She is no light-weight. She will have the preparation necessary to stand on her own against the opposition and its duplicitous tactics.

This also says something about her character. Trump, on the other hand, wants to boast about his Penn-State Wharton-School pedigree. After observing him all these years, he didn't take much of it seriously. His reading and writing skills of today don't fit that pedigree -- or any reasonably educated person from so much as a state school.

He boasts about what he doesn't have; she barely mentions what she does have.

"The opposition and it's duplicitous tactics"................. You mean the establishment Democratic party and the New York political machine, right?

That depends on whether you've constructed some bubble-reality of your own, or you look at a sufficiently large number of facts and listen to a sufficiently large number of sources.

Maybe you need an adrenalin injection. Maybe -- just some Xanax.

She will get eaten alive is my prediction. Crazy checklist is still crazy. Once her constituents realize they've been duped, they'll wish they still had Crowley. And she'll go back to bartending to pay the rent after the next election cycle.

Her agenda doesn’t sound any less likely than what we heard from Trump

He won’t take vacation he’ll be too busy
We’ll have cheaper insurance with lower deductibles, more Doctor and hospital choices, everyone will get treated and nobody will get left behind
The Wall Mexico is going to pay for
Re-negotiate trade deals (dropping out doesn’t count as a new deal)
Middle East Peace within a few months of Jared working on it
Exit from the Middle East
And so much more

Guess Pelosi is not impressed with her either...maybe she is still pissed off about Crowley losing to her....

Pelosi dismissed speculation in a news conference earlier Wednesday, saying Ocasio-Cortez's win should not be seen as a larger movement within the party at the national level.

"They made a choice in one district. So let’s not get yourself carried away as an expert on demographics and the rest of that," Pelosi said.

"Within the caucus or outside the caucus, we are ... again, we have an array of genders, generations, geography, and there is opinion in our caucus, and we’re proud of that," she added.

"The fact that in a very progressive district in New York it went more progressive than ... well, Joe Crowley is a progressive, but she’s more left than Joe Crowley, is about that district. It is not to be viewed as something that stands for anything else."

Joe Lieberman wrote an Op-Ed in today's WSJ endorsing Joe Crowley. He basically called O-C a clueless, far left, idiot.

First off Lieberman is a clown in most Democrats opinion
Second Crowley is not running, he confirmed it agian

https://www.google.com/amp/thehill.com/homenews/campaign/397682-crowley-tweets-still-not-running?amp

Internet must be slow in Russia
I don't give a fuck what Democrats think, I don't care if Crowley is running or not and I certainly don't know what any of this has to do with the Internet in Russia.

I do know that you're a TDS suffering fucktard. That's documented fact.

Good job!

Democratic socialism blended with fiscal conservatism tends to create the ideal climate for healthy societies supported by a robust middle class. The nations you mentioned are also fairly homogenous. Nationalism and identity can be powerful forces, which even the most progressive of democratic socialist nations are starting to contend with in the face of refugees and migrations.

and can someone explain the part in the thread title about the beating the mega corporations? She beat Crowley who is a top member of the Democratic party...

Typically a top member in Congress means top earner. Our "leaders" spend most their time in office begging Wall Street for money.

And if you aren't convinced, check it:
Are members of Congress becoming telemarketers?
And your job, new member of Congress, is to raise $18,000 a day. Your first responsibility is to make sure you hit $18,000 a day.
20 or 30 hours a week, on the phone dialing for dollars
