The graphic underscores two misguided notions implying government activity in any part of of society is considered socialist or that private activity could be considered socialist if it produces a result of which socialists approve.

None of the graphic examples are socialism.
As in NONE.

So once SS became untouchable, the conservatives decide it isn't socialism.
It is welfare, not socialism.

You just don't get it, Ward.

It was never socialism.

That was the point of the illustration.

That they were not socialism did not stop your confreres from claiming it was.

You all lie about this stuff in an effort to have your way.
LOL
What “ way” is that?

Oh, Draxx, you are too droll.

Since the the Moscow muppet doesn’t really like traditions anyway, I think we’re all ready for a VP that takes actively presiding over the Senate to its ultimate level.

I don't know enough to evaluate the feasibility of this.

Democrats bristle, but Republicans have successfully framed the 2020 election as a struggle against socialism -- an ideology that not one Democratic contender says they advocate.

Sure, since the 2020 election told democrats to stop talking about ‘socialism’.
It’s a loser!  Ask Frau Pelosi.  There is talk of der Aufruhr against the Fuheress.
LOL!

It’s what you do when you know your opponent is going to cheat by abusing traditions and norms.

Bend the rules til they almost break and when they squawk Act aggrieved and tell them you’re just following the “Biden Rule.”

Remember that “Rule” that held open the SCOTUS seat?

Can't make it up

Uproar today over White House workers at front of the line to be vaccinated.


You mean the ones who refused to follow CDC guidelines and created a Petri dish of the virus in the nerve center of the “free world” and now YOU want to go first because you’re so fucking important?
How about you vaccinate the people who will still be on staff at 12:01pm?

But hey.

Defend him to the last... sucker.

You know that whole "The GOP isn't racist - just a few folks who endorse them are!" routine?

"your way" may include

the good socialism like

-socialism for investors via investment tax credit and lower tax rates (capital gains, carried interest)

-socialism for agribusiness via  subsidies for all sorts of agricultural products

-socialism for the oil and gas industries with tax credits and depletion allowances

and other preferred government socialist programs for the private sector

paid for by reducing funding for the bad socialism like social security and Medicare

Ooh, I got one. Rounding up revenue units for private prisons.

And funneling tax dollars at extra full markup to pharmaceutical companies.
