I wonder how well the Democratic Socialism system would work in the US.

Quote of the year
The next country that is going to surprise yall is Vietnam. Another communist country. They are improving on all aspects at amazing speed. When they complete their railway transit system other the next fifteen years, it will completely unlock their country economically
Yall thought dude was playing when he said don’t come to LA with that bullshit . We don’t play this shit out here. Let them khaki wearing fags march through the Bay or LA and get worked
They don't look at it as socialism, they think they deserve it just for signing up.
So Black people in Detroit are advocating for voting for the Arab dude over the Black dude? It's fuck Israel, but damn picking that over Black political power.
Trump shifts his tone on Jimmy Carter while grappling with Iran, inflation and his own legacy
Jimmy Carter used to be one of President Donald Trump ’s favorite political targets, a catchall foil for feckless Democrats that he could jeer at to make himself look strong and decisive.

But lately, Trump’s sentiments on the 39th president have become more wistful as he faces some of the same challenges the late Carter did.
Those include the war in Iran with no end in sight — and now escalating as the U.S. moves to control the Strait of Hormuz — and inflation, a drag on the economy Trump hasn’t tamed despite long insisting that his business background would wipe it out.
The comparison seems to be on Trump’s mind, too. Asked last month why he didn’t dispatch U.S. Special Forces into Iran to forcibly remove its enriched uranium, he responded, “I didn’t feel like being Jimmy Carter.”
That recalled the failed 1980 raid to free U.S. hostages that killed eight American servicemen. Trump also said in March that the unsuccessful mission “cost them the election” against Ronald Reagan in 1980, sounding cognizant of political realities in a way he didn’t when using Carter as a punchline.
The shift in tone coincides with Trump’s increased focus on his personal legacy and comes as the parallels between the two presidents become harder to ignore.
“I think it is dawning on him — it’s getting through even his thick skull — that he’s kicked over a hornet’s nest and his presidency might be remembered for some of the same things Jimmy Carter’s presidency is,” said Jonathan Alter, author of “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, A Life.”…

What if the Arab guy is a better candidate? I don't know anything about the Black guy but if he's just business as usual, and people aren't looking for that, than his race really isn't going to mean much.So Black people in Detroit are advocating for voting for the Arab dude over the Black dude? It's fuck Israel, but damn picking that over Black political power.
Folks keep voting for suits and keep expecting different results. I believe that the system is trying to engineer voter-apathy across the board. I think the monied folks have been told that poor folks ain’t really about to do something about anything. I don’t believe there are 10 good human beings in Washington.
