Trump is right again..."America will never become a socialist country." (At least not in 2020.)

It seems odd how the Dem primaries fell into place. Warren should have backed Bernie, who at the time was ascendant, for their shared ideology. Yet she hung in and divided the progressive vote. Meanwhile all the vanquished contenders suddenly jumped on the Biden bandwagon. Super Tuesday was a complete turnaround of the field.

Biden was a foregone conclusion (by me anyway).

He had a good run but even weeks ago it was already clear he wouldn’t have enough steam in his campaign to get the nomination. Now we just wait to watch the Bernie Bros stay home in protest and once again give Trump the election.

Socialism would KILL America.
And I do mean America,,,not the United States.

Not sure I understand the distinction you’re making.

America is a concept.
All the world would like to live in America.

The United States is a place.
America is in the United States.

Were you laboring under the delusion that simply electing a democratic socialist president would suddenly transform the country into a socialist state?

Canada and Mexico are also a part of “America” (and a whole slew of other countries too).

You never know. Americans do some crazy things.

It's a great start.....
And he could have done A LOT of damage in 4 years.
The congress is also liberal...just depends on how much. Seems like the young and foolish are also leaning toward socialism.

When a person in any part of the world says AMERICA...
they mean the U.S.

What Americans do or do not has no bearing on how the Government is structured and functions.

Oh don’t worry .. now that Barnie is gone .. Trump and his support will start calling Biden a socialist, the most liberal candidate ever to run .. and if we don’t elect Trump again. USA will be socialist country. I have seen the game before!

Leaning towards social safety nets is different then socialism.

Soo, our representatives don't really represent... us?

OTOH, why buy a cow when you can milk one?
