Pretty much!

[HereWeGoAgain]

The GOP had better start re-learning how to communicate pretty soon.

Avoiding it and throwing around platitudes isn't going to work.

Showing the cost will be communication enough....

No it won't.

All I'm seeing here is "we don't need to communicate." Okay, good luck.
.

Sure it will,the same way it did in socialist California when they attempted to pass single payer.
If those loons balked at the cost what do you think normal Americans are going to say.....?

Ocasio-Cortez is the second coming of Stalin?

No. She’s the second coming of Bernie.

And Bernie’s still with us. Cool.

And totally irrelevant.

Keep telling yourself that the guy who came fairly close to the Democratic nomination is “irrelevant.”

He’s done nothing since he lost the nomination. He was beat by a failure, his ideas can’t be funded, not sure what if any accomplishments he had prior. So yes, he’s pretty much irrelevant.

he is a symbol of the TIMES-----the mood of voting
population and ALSO lots of present day young
CULT HEROES------like cortez

very relevant that ---THAT JERK came close and still
"INSPIRES" lots of ------kids

Kids grow up and grow brains. I never called him “ that jerk”. Not sure where that came from. As I said in another post he hasn’t done anything since he lost the nomination. He’s a good talker until reality sets and people realize that his dream can’t be funded.

It doesnt matter if it failed in those countries or not. Those countries arent the US.
Different cultures. 30X more people. Corrupt as hell govt.
THINK about it.

It’s another weird argument.

Other countries can do it, but our government is way more corrupt than those countries. So....let’s just keep doing it this way.

Derp.

And THAT'S the palooka urging folk to think.

LoLz!!!!

He is far from a symbol or hero. Very small community that identifies with him or her. They spout off huge ideas, accomplish nothing and collect government checks all while telling people how bad their lives are. They are no more than evangelists.

We'll see but anyone running on her platform and can't explain how it's funded will struggle.
Then again leftists are too fucking stupid to grasp it

The wealthy can pay for it. Higher income taxes. Much higher. And less military spending.

Bing, there it is.

Now, at some point, the GOP will have to do more than just scream SOCIALISM. That doesn't work any more. This is going to take actual effort.

Won't work and just reveals you don't know squat about economics either.

No, it's just my profession.

And I'm not talking about economics, I'm talking about politics. You don't seem to understand that.
.

You start taking taxes, spending, etc it's economics and part of politics.

You don't seem to understand that.

Let me help you....it won't work. They will sell a pie in the sky dream and when the rubber meets the road a catastrophic fail will happen. History proves that.

 

[TNHarley]

"making it work" includes discriminating against people that have good paying jobs? LOL
In what fucking world does that make sense?
"hey guy, since you wanted to do something with yourself, you have to work for less $$ because the lazy asshole down the street refuses to provide for his family"
MURICA'!

....and getting elected.

 

[Maxdeath]

Never in history has it worked....and never will

Let's see, dumbass, it works in England, France, Holland, Sweden, Norway,.....

You do realize that the income tax rate for Sweden is 61.85%? Others fall slightly below that. Do you think that you are going to convince the U.S. Citizen which is on average 36% that they need to almost double their taxes?

They are already complaining that they did not get enough of a tax break.

 

[PredFan]

So FOX sent an intrepid conservative to an Alexandria Ocasio Cortez rally and the conservative ended up getting kind of excited:

‘Fox & Friends’ Falls Face-First Into Ocasio-Cortez ‘Trap’

Kruta told the Fox & Friends hosts that she went to the rally to “see what the fuss was about” and “why the message was resonating.” Asked why voters might be drawn to a Democratic Socialist message, she added, “They talk about things that everybody wants, especially if you’re a parent. They talk about education for your kids, health care for your kids, the things that you want.”

Then Hannity tried to scare his audience and Ocasio Cortez thanked him:

The GOP can keep laughing, or it can start paying attention. Which would be smarter?
.

I’d say laugh. It’s not like a conservative is going to win that seat anyway. She’ll get to Congress and continue to make an ass of herself. Smart people know better than to swallow that garbage.

Yeah because the GOP hasn’t been winning anything lately right?

What's the tax rate for the rest of the list?

Sanders tried the same BS in 2016....how did that work out?

He might very well have beaten Trump.

Avoiding real communication won't work forever. The GOP can't just point to Stalin and assume everyone will magically "get it". This will take effort, especially when the economy cycles down.
.

Highly doubtful. It would have pissed off all the people who wanted the first female potus.

No, it doesn’t.

 

[Mac1958]

Class warfare right out of Lenin's mouth. The evil rich capitalist and his bourgeoisie scum, right?

That argument will convince no one of nothing, ever.

You'll need something better.
.

Negative. You've advocated for something much worse. Anti-Americanism incarnate.

In whose eyes? And exactly what will you say to convince those who disagree?

If anything?
.

 

[PredFan]

No it doesn't.....dumb ass

In what way has it failed in those countries?

It’s not getting paid for and the so-called benefits are less than optimal. Think you can go from working stiff to wealthy in any of those countries?
