I'm not talking about trump or jobs. Neither of which have anything to do with you conflating Socialism with Democratic Socialism. You know how you feel when people are wrong about Libertarianism and they cast it in a disparaging light? that's what you're doing here with Democratic Socialism.

"Democratic Socialism". What's next? "Democratic Communism"? lol
Who gives a fuck? I am a capitalist. Period.
I'm not a fan of the govt. taking your money and redistributing it...which is EXACTLY what the politicians calling themselves "Democratic Socialists" are in favor of.
Why are you so hung up on it anyway? Thinking of being a "Democratic Socialist" yourself? Or maybe a "Republican Socialist" or any other thing with the word "Socialist" in it.
In politics Democrats used to run from words like Socialist and Communist. Now they seem to embrace the term Socialist ever since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won in the primary in New York.
Me? I don't care. Has nothing to do with this topic.
All I'm saying is that Democrats do NOT stand for the working blue collar men and women of this country as they once did.
You can agree or disagree with that...but the voters made that pretty clear in 2016 when Democrats in the rust belt turned out for Trump.
