Seizing the means of production is is not social democracy or a social safety net.

Eradicating western civilization is not a step towards a social democracy. Nor is it a step towards social safety nets.

1) No one said it was

2) we were all young once and exuberant about our ideals. We’ve all said dumb shit we didn’t necessarily mean. I’d love to hear her explain these comments. Lastly. She’s one person, she’s not going to end western civilization on her own. It’s gonna take a lot of help. There are idiotic congresspeople on the right we never hear about.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Mn, on the other hand, is very willing to jump to conclusions.

I don’t know that I’ve watched 10 cumulative minutes of Fox News in my lifetime, but I am educated and have retained some of that education.

Socialism, at its core, is public ownership of means of production.

A Northern European style social democracy is not socialism. Note that it doesn’t even have socialism in its name! It offers robust social programs that are paid for with heavy tax burdens, not seizure of the means of production. Free market economies are fundamentally not socialist regardless of how big their social safety nets are.

From what I’ve read, Mamdani mentioned it in a general sense; I see nothing that states this is his platform.

Can’t say that I’m lock step with everything, but she’s so right, hilarious how Mike Johnson thinks these are all “gotchas.”

Oh yeah, and just in case you forgot: Mike Johnson

The Republican House speaker abandoned all subtlety, promising to protect the White House from oversight if the GOP holds on to its majority.

LOL. Yep, she and Platner did not mean any of it. Lying liars who lie. Flip side of the same coin. No different than the Trumpers.

We can agree that she will be as effective in legislating as Maxine Waters or your average wack job Freedom Caucus member.

No, I meant it. I am not making excuses for these dirt bags like The Non-Democrat Tempo is though.

Chevalier has some nutso ideas, but she’ll have company in Congress among figures like Lauren Boebert, Anna Paulina Luna, Paul Gosar, Gym Jordan, and Andy Ogles.  Cori Bush could also join that group if she wins back her Missouri seat.

I’m more disappointed that Mamdani endorsed her.  Chevalier may have worked as a field organizer for him, and her opponent backed Cuomo in the mayoral race, but I think he may come to regret the endorsement.

If Chevalier proves embarrassing or ineffective, someone will challenge her in a primary in two years.

And that is Deomcracy/Democratic elections in action.
