Can you decipher what bitten said here SPEED do you possibly have the decoder ring!!?? I did understand the part where he said "makes no sense"...he's right about that!!

I made several comments about the impeachment. Go back and check it out. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

I didn't catch what you thoughts were on the obstruction of congress charge...and I'm sure I won't.You didn't condone your precious congress for this impeachment nonsense...again you are the master at deflection...nice try though!!

The platform of bittens you endorse has nothing on there that isn't pure socialism.

And please understand what socialism is before you call me a socialist.

"a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

And this is the platform SPEED supports...but no one knows his political leanings. Originally Posted by bb1961

...I find it interesting reading how people feel about the upcoming elections. At this point in time in 2018 several people were willing to predict the outcome of the November election. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Capitalism is roughly grouped in class levels (can argue exact #s if it makes you feel better):
10% lower (poverty), 80% middle (normal folk), 10% upper (elite)
Key aspect being you can start at the very bottom (poverty) and rise to the tippy top (elite), based upon your own, individual effort - and you don't need guns to do it.

Socialism is always grouped:
90% (owned) by the 10% elite and government
There is no movement anywhere within the continuum. You can vote in Socialism, but you always have to shoot your way out of it.

Did you happen to notice your own definition states " economic theory"? Because it's a fantasy. Get your boyz-n-gurls in Congress to allocate $2B for the "Free Trip to Nirvana" program that allows people a 1-way ticket to Venezuela or Wuhan, China to try out your vaunted "economic theory" in real life. All we ask in return is your trip report after 6 months of living in a theory.

WYID - well written, good sir!

Explained several times.

And 2018 polls/predictions were almost 100% correct.

Interested in knowing what your definition of a landslide victory is.

"One generally agreed-upon definition of an Electoral College landslide is a presidential election in which the winning candidate secures at least 375 or 70 percent of the electoral votes."

"One generally agreed-upon measure of a landslide election is when the winning candidate beats his opponent or opponents by at least 15 percentage points in a popular vote count."

China and Venezuela are socialism at work. Maybe if Gus Hall or Eugene Debs had ever been elected POTUS you would have a case for a leader taking us down the road to socialism/communism. Joe Biden will not.

Medicare for All is socialism. Canada has it. The UK has it. WHen you look at all the countries in the world, the majority have universal health care. Only a handful of those countries would be considered socialistic. I will let elected politicians in this country decide what is the best way to go, but universal health care is but a small part of determining whether a country is socialistic or not.

I'll have to go search out the quotes then if you don't remember them, but he several times discusses how Obamacare would be a progression to a more widespread government universal plan.

And obviously that's how you start the overall socialist takeover. Take specific segments of the econmony(1/6 at the time of Obamacare) and work it towards government control. To deny his long term goals were not that is not paying attention to what occurred during those times.

Totally disagree with the 2nd paragraph.

An hour long Biden State of the Union Address - Lord help protect America from such Lunacy.

Even Pelosi and Schumer would not be able to sit still!

Like your source, for example - which raises the question, was the electoral vote count of Trump 304, Hillary 227, Other 7 (according to achives.gov), when measured against the Five38 poll the day of the election, which projected Hillary at 302 vs Trump at 235 electoral votes "...exceeding expectations and being somewhat overwhelming".


I would say it was and believe that GEPOTUS would agree . Clearly Hillary might say it was soul crushing and wonder What Happened - endlessly. But I would counter argue that she has no soul.


BTW: One might also calculate ((227/304)*100) to yield a 75% margin of victory
