So is liberal worse than socialist nowadays?

communist>socialist>liberal>progressive>democrat

 

Your formula even shows how the two sides disagree on basic math. For a conservative it’s:

communist< Socialist< Liberal< Progress< Democrat

There is a difference.  Donald Trump is a Democrat and he is tolerable.  

This is genuinely funny. 

neocon> conservative> Trump>rino>independent>shitlib

@snarlcakes Donald Trump is a populist who occasionally aligns with old Dem positions.

He's similar to Bill Clinton policy wise.  All politicians are populists, some are just better than others at it.

What is funny to me is how much money is pouring in to Indiana statehouse primary races. All of it to show Trump how willingly one will bend the knee.

Below is a conservative radio personality discussing how Braun backed out of a pledge on property tax reform but now spends lavishly on defeating Republican incumbents in primaries.

I'm out here in the Bay Area and every single ad has 1 of 2 premises. 

1.  We have to fight Trump harder and I'm the only one who can do it.

2. I'm a bona fide progressive and my opponent is faking it.  

This is my first exposure to political ads with a candidate touting an endorsement from AOC.

Thankfully i was out there in mid march. Saw zero political ads, but every fucking billboard was AI AI AI AI AI or some business AI adjacent (which is apparently everything). I still can't tell if there's a bubble. 

 

Saw the Mag 7 reported over $750b of capex spending this past year. that's 2-3% of GDP ffs. Makes the transition to trains look like a pittance.

Hopefully, AOC, was wearing just a bikini in the endorsement. I swear if the sh#t libs nominate that old heels up Harris hag over AOC, I'm f#cking done with politics.
