Socialism is a system of social organization in which private property and the distribution of income are subject to social control. I.E., the government controls everything, the people own and control nothing is the bottom line. The government winds up with strong men running it and the economy collapses due to mismanagement and corruption.

Capitalism promotes free market conditions which creates the best economy, but centralizes resources to much so a few end up with it all. Centrists see the problem with both and work to create a more fair distribution of resources while protecting America's republic. We are the keepers of the gate.

The far left and right are the problem.

You just aren't very knowledgeable on these issues, at all. You keep spewing far right code, and probably don't know why.

You sound like the recently elected Republican Senator from Alabama:

Former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, Elected Alabama Senator, thinks WWII was fought over socialism. It wasn’t.

Tuberville is very concerned because Joe Biden is a socialist. “Coach” then goes on to misunderstand the origins of World War II—[cough] [cough] Nazism—saying that it was, you guessed it, about ridding the world of socialism, kinda like Joe Biden.

“It’s concerning to me that a guy can run for president of the United States and have an opportunity to win when he leans more to a Socialist type of government … And that’s concerning to me that we’re to the point now where we’ve got almost half the country voting for something that this country wasn’t built on. Very concerning and, you know, as I tell people, my dad fought 76 years ago in Europe to free Europe of Socialism. Today, you look at this election, we have half this country that made some kind of movement, now they might not believe in it 100 percent, but they made some kind of movement toward socialism. So we’re fighting it right here on our own soil. We’ve got to decide, you know, over the years which direction we’re going, and that part’s concerning to me.”

I just want Democrats who actually act like Democrats. They're few and far between.



Joe is more Republican than most Republicans.

If Joe Manchin wants to be Senator from West Virginia, he had to say those things, but he doesn't have to do/believe those things. The huge problem with politicians keeping hidden their true purpose from voters with a smoke screen made of combustible words is that the politician might not have anything that looks like actual purposes other than being reelected. They might well be full of only hot air and smoke in their brain. This would explain why the typical politician spends the work week stupidly and unproductively. A few Senators want to do something once elected, but most want only to be a Senator. When one of those directionless Senators has a meeting with a skilled lobbyist working for a very purposeful Capitalist, the lobbyist will pour ideas into the empty head of the Senator.

Two top Homeland Security officials forced to resign by White House
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/11/12/politics/dhs-officials-forced-resig
n-white-house/index.html


The resignations come in the wake of sweeping changes atop the Defense Department's civilian leadership structure which has seen several of the Pentagon's most senior civilian officials replaced with perceived loyalists to the President. The changes started with Trump firing Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Monday and senior Pentagon officials have told CNN they are alarmed and concerned about what might happen next.
---
Can't have a coup without loyalists in the right places.

If Trump does not pull the trigger on a coup d'état, he has only made government more dysfunctional than before. Why can't that fat dumb fucker shut the hell up and let his Senate approved political appointees operate a caretaker government for the next 68 days?

The courts are going to rake Trump over the coals when he leaves office. That's what all this delay is all about. That and he is trying to figure out how to get a pardon.

Hilariously Out of Touch Democrats Blame Leftists for THEIR Failures


Conservative Dems who lost blame progressive Dems who won.

Trump will stay free until he dies while following the path of his lawyer, Roy Cohn: At death, the IRS seized almost everything Cohn had. One of the things that the IRS did not seize was a pair of diamond cuff links, given to him by client and friend, Donald Trump. The diamond cuff links were later declared to be fake by an appraiser. According to Roger Stone, Cohn's "absolute goal was to die completely broke and owing millions to the IRS. He succeeded in that." That would be Trump's goal. I expect him to succeed.
