    Is there a point to this legislation? Like what does it actually do.

      wastes valuable time so they don’t have to use it passing something that might actually benefits people.

      also brings back red scare because DSA and specifically mamdani are reminding people what politics should be about. can’t have that baby, let’s bring back McCarthyism!

    Of course one is fucking Marie Gluesencamp-Perez. She’s basically a moderate Republican who runs as a Democrat because she lives in a purple district.

      She is such a tool. So pleased with herself, too.

    Let’s fix that exclusionary headline by removing one word…“Politicians are not your friends”.

      Thanks for the link! :-/

      https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-concurrent-resolution/58/text

      Stupid bit of text conflating concepts and creating it’s own definitions. Everyone should have abstained.

        It is garbage, and it’s all about using famous socialist governments that went to super shit. That’s why it’s a republiQan resolution. It’s inherently dishonest.

        But hey, you wanna support Pol Pot and Stalin, then vote no.

      Reading the resolution is irrelevant, people will read the headline and stop thinking. It reinforces decades of antisocialism/anticommunism

        As does reading the resolution. It’s one page of cold war era anti-socialist propaganda dot points.

        Whenever I talk about the headlines being the most important thing a bunch of Communications Studies dropouts tell me to read the whole thing.

        It’s super annoying.

    Now do one for capitalism. Might be longer due to more examples.

    Jefferson’s quote could be used to defend against higher taxes on the top brackets, and yet when we did have such taxes we saw high prosperity. So anything can be sold as bad, especially when you use a very broad definition and run with it.

    A version of socialism is what provides common services and infrastructures that allows our society to exist. I doubt we want to denounce and get rid of basic needs of the public, paid for by taxes TAKEN from the public.
