No, Florida's Andrew Gillum does not have a far left socialist platform

[No Swansong]

Look who is backing Gillum now. A billionaire from California
who just so happens to want to impeach President Trump is
spending five million to elect a Democrat as governor in Florida.
Tom Steyer to Spend Millions Backing Andrew Gillum in Florida

Steyer and his wife are the 3rd leading individual contributors
to political campaigns. They made $30,116,257 in campaign
contributions, all to Democrats. George Soros only made #6
on the list.

Look at everyone the DeVos family is supporting. LOL

Here is the definition of redistribute that I am using. Show me your definition of redistribute that unlike the one below does not contradict what you are saying.

re·dis·tri·bute
[ˌrēdəˈstribyo͞ot]
VERB

1. distribute (something) differently or again, typically to achieve greater social equality.
   "their primary concern was to redistribute income from rich to poor"

LOL, where did you get that definition? Straight of Conservative.com? LOL
Definition of REDISTRIBUTE
redistribute
verb

re·dis·trib·ute | \ ˌrē-də-ˈstri-ˌbyüt also -byət \
redistributed; redistributing; redistributes
Definition of redistribute


transitive verb

1 : to alter the distribution of : reallocate

2 : to spread to other areas

Prove to me that paying someone to do work or provide a service is the same as moving
money from one person to another in order to change who has it. If you can do that then I will agree with your premise.

Where does the money come from in the first place? Regardless of where a person works money comes into the employers and that money is then redistributed to where it is needed. A company uses money brought in through sales and redistributes it to employees for their service, to share holders, to different departments for their needs, etc...

The government taxes the people and redistributes that money for the common good of the people. The government houses, feeds, provides medical care and a slew of other services for our military personnel and it is paid for by taxes collected from the people. Redistribution. It is also socialism.

Is it your contention that there is no difference between being given money as a gift and being
paid money in return for a good or service? Is it also your position that the words distribute and redistribute are interchangeable? It seems to me that is the argument you are making.
The definition I provded was the first one that appeared when I googled it using
bing.

perhaps you prefer another one. From the cambridge dictionary.

redistribute verb [ T ]
uk /ˌriː.dɪˈstrɪb.juːt/ us /ˌriː.dɪˈstrɪb.juːt/


C2 to share something out differently from before, especially in a fairer way:

As president he would redistribute the country's wealth.

When a company or government pays someone or some agency to do a job or provide a good or service it is not redistributing it is purchasing. Keep in mind next time you go to the grocery store that the grocer will insist upon a specific price for his/her goods and not just accept whatever you decide is a fair redistribution of your wealth.

I'm saying that has no difference as far as socialism is concerned.

No, I'm saying that your definition was flawed by automatically connecting to redistributing money from rich to poor. Taxation is redistributing money from one place to another. Commerce is redistribution, etc. ...

It is still redistribution. They get the money from one place and use it in another. In your scenario Medicare or Obamacare isn't Socialistic because the government is purchasing the service of medical employees.

I don't care how he redistributed the money that I give him. We live in a society that redistributes.

.

Redistribution is taking money from one source and GIVING it to another. Commerce is one individual or group of individuals PURCHASING a good or service from another individual or group of individuals. They are not the same thing. Taxation is not redistribution unless the money taxed is GIVEN to someone or some group with the intention of and solely for the purpose of changing who has that money (redistributing it). The idea behind redistribution is to redistribute , If money is spent to acquire things or services the intention is not to change who has the money it is to acquire something worth the amount one spends to acquire it.

We live in country that redistributes wealth by force. We do not live in a society that redistributes, we live in a society that engages in purchasing and selling and sometimes gifting wealth. None of this done for the purpose of redistributing that wealth i.e. changing the possession of that
wealth for the express purpose of changing who has it.

All countries redistribute wealth in some manner.

We do not live in a society that redistributes, we live in a society that engages in purchasing and selling and sometimes gifting wealth.

That is redistribution by its definition.

None of this done for the purpose of redistributing that wealth i.e. changing the possession of that wealth for the express purpose of changing who has it.

You don't seem to understand how commerce works. A person works and is paid for the work. The person then redistributes that money by purchasing goods or n some other manner. Those who receive the money then redistribute that money based on how it is needed, such as paying others to manufacture more goods to sell, and this cycle continues on, and on, and on...This is common to all economic theories.
