Rightwingers here have no idea what "socialism" means. They think that anyone left of Genghis Khan is a socialist, when what most people REALLY are (pretty much throughout a vertical slice of society) are liberals who really want to keep capitalism in place- they just want a softer, fluffier capitalism because anything else would significantly deprive people, which might lead to real change. And (gasp!) we can't have THAT.
So liberals (which constitute the majority of the Democratic Party) are really just "kinder, gentler" capitalists ... yanno, the welfare recipients want their welfare, the middle class who feel guilty/afraid and want their continued middle class status, and the dolers-out-of-welfare want their high-powered elected positions and the wealth that goes along with status. Some capitalists even see this and agree with it, because even THEY have an interest in their continued position.
At some point, people really should look into the contradictions on which their economy and society are founded.
This wealth discrepancy which capitalists celebrate in one example. The reason why having a crap-ton of poor people is self-defeating is because YOU CAN'T SELL TO POOR PEOPLE. And if everyone is poor, making iPhones, who the hell is going to buy them?
To extend the example, most nations (with the exception of the USA, which gave up this idea long ago) think they're going to "achieve wealth" by becoming net exporting nations. But since EVERY nation can't be a net exporter ... that's math for ya! ... at best half or fewer of the contending nations will reach the status of "net exporter", and the remainder will simply be wage slaves on the world market, suffering from high unemployment and abysmal living standards.
Fortunately there are other options available.

The funny thing is that Hillary will walk, not run, right into the white house, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
She's gonna win. By a landslide. The teanderthals don't stand a chance.

And finally, on the 'infidelity' topic, I was wondering - is it only INDEFENSIBLE for democrats? Or is it also INDEFENSIBLE for republicans?

By asking you a question you don't have the balls to answer, why, yes, it seems she did.
As cowardly as ever, rappy.

Sorry to break the news, but we are referring to America here. If you knew that, your denial must act as balm to assuage your guilt.
All of the Socialist Party members in Congress who are not elected under the Socialist Party are Elected as Democrats. None are elected as Republicans.
Of all the members of Congress, those who vote most in line with the Democrat party platform (most faithfully Democrat) are the Socialist party, with something like 98% voting record. The nearest Democrat is something like 70% in line with the Democrat platform.
Here in America, the Democrats are the Socialists, even if some of them don't bother with membership in the Party.

Any bets that KPO doesn't bother including this in the predictions thread?

So, if the repubs are for big business - a fact you can't dispute with other facts - why are you for them? Is it because they're so bent on personal freedoms like gays getting married and women getting birth control, or the dismantlement of the surveillance state, or allowing people to freely join a union for mutual benefit? (That's irony - I feel I have to point that out with you.) Is it because they want to maintain clean drinking water, safe foods, and air that won't kill you when you breathe it? (This is more irony as well.) Is it because they have such a robust plan for medical care that will fix the problems of the old for-profit system? (This is yet more irony, since, as you know, they've failed to come up with that alternative they promised so many years ago.)
What is it about their agenda you like, if being pro-business isn't it?
And those question marks make them questions! And questions are looking for answers!
Got any?
Often you focus your batshit crazy on one topic or so. But here you manage to recap your far-flung batshit crazy spectrum in one post. I do recall there is far more that you have kept in the closet for this, but here is a decent sampling.

...which is why you cannot do your thoughtless battle with them.
When the Democrats self-identify as Socialist, why should I deny their honest claims?
When the Democrats are members of the Socialist Party, why should I deny them?
You may have heard from a famous Republican that people should be judged by their actions, their character (or lack of it). When the Democrats who form the platform for their Party clearly chose a subset of the Socialist Party which only the Socialists can vote for without losing their seats, why should we deny them their Socialist character or Socialist voting record?
You doth protest too much.

She'll likely get primaried, if her health even allows her to see the convention.

Maybe she'll be sleep deprived, and accept the nomination anyhow. Then she can spend the whole time til the general election continuing to campaign against the DNC candidate, and lying that she is the candidate, because she is sleep deprived.
