Friday, July 17, 2026

Top of Drudge Report. There are elements many can agree with, but the damage to the Nation outweighs putting the DSA in charge.

From their own platform

Abolish the Electoral College. Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

This would dismantle the entire checks and balances.

It's easy to want a lot of changes. These elements are dangerous to the Constitutional Republic.

Yes, there are many things to fix.

Both parties have held the all three branches, yet nothing ever gets fixed and done.

Cutting aid to other nations.
Affordable Healthcare
Jobs and income opportunity.
Cutting the MIC.
Closing the hundreds of US foreign military bases.
Stop stationing troops in other countries.
Renegotiate all treaties and stop bring the blood and sweat of other nations defense.

The destruction of the Constitution and Laws of the Nation as described on the SDA website are too perilous.

Stop claiming it can't happen.

It is.

You only need to win politically.

Promise the world and the majority votes for it.

But, majority rule isn't what protects our nation.

Would you vote for dismantling the US System of Govt to stop another party from being elected?

If one party heads on that direction,what would you do?

From their own platform

"Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism.

It might not feel as badly needed as it does now. You enjoy your work; it's interesting to you, and you're well trained for it. You work as much as you are able and no more than needed, and you would control your own labor and see it going to good use. It's not just a job to pay the bills.

Speaking of bills: you don't really have them anymore.

You have no debt. You don't need health insurance. You don't pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren't for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities.

OK, enough about bills. What do you do on your day off? Maybe in the morning, you walk your kids to school, run errands, or go to a doctor's appointment. In the afternoon, you might play a sport, practice a new skill, read, plan a trip. In the evening, you could meet up with friends or family and eat together, maybe go to the movies or down to the park."

Are you prepared to vote for this because you don't like the current two parties?

Petrous,

You may be fine with millions of people living in poverty, one hospital trip away from living in the streets, while a handful of billionaires live like Gods.

But most of us find that abhorrent and we're tried of our taxes being siphoned up by the extremely wealthy for wars and pet projects.

I am not your moral police.

Everyone must choose how they vote.

If your choice is to dismantle the Constitution and to follow this platform, be honest with results.

If their platform had not been so honest, a lot of their complaints and solutions could be accepted, even just in part.

But, do you really believe the House being all authority as one branch is the right path?

Is it worth the cost?

I see the poll is on the DR under drudge.com

Although that post follows the poll, my post asks how everyone sees the platform of the SDA as its own website details.

Democrats vs Republicans isn't new. Not voting MAGA is not new.

What is new is the very detailed beliefs and goals of the SDA.

Are people ready for all of what is planned?

It is very possible that US laws and the Constitution could be seriously changed.

Read their site and decide how far will your support of this go and realize you can't stop it once it starts.

I noted in a prior comment that the newfound popularity in certain areas of socialists may be more due to rejection of the current occupants of the elected offices than a support of the socialist paradigm.


That aside, MAGA is actively trying to put an autocrat in charge, with the help of his appointed SCOTUS.

The constitution says billionaires should be given all our taxes to spend on pet projects and wars?

Where?

Or people are tired of being raped by insurance companies because conservatives are worried about the wrong type of people* receiving benefits.

I do not disagree.

But that is just more substantiation for the "throw the bums out" tendency I have been seeing.

Trump destroying America, outweighs having our taxes pay for our healthcare? Education? Senior assistance? Maternity leave? Assistance for the poor? The sick? The destitute?

And you consider yourself to be a moderate. I'm sure.

Pretty soon you're going to run out of other people's money.

Servicing the current debt is larger than anyrhing else

Don't get mad at Trump, get mad at the boomers that put you in this situation.

They gobbled up all the money, and will spend it all on healthcare as they age.

The wrong type of people get it for "free" in California.

So WTF are you talking about?

@#11 ... Trump destroying America, outweighs having our taxes pay for our healthcare? Education? Senior assistance? Maternity leave? Assistance for the poor? The sick? The destitute? ...

That's quite the good summary.

thx.

Look at you, repeating slogans you don't understand.

Besides, that's what I want my taxes going to.

Other people's money is what billionaires like to use, for their wars and pet projects.

All Trump has done as president is given himself tax cuts and burnt through our taxes.

WTF is SDA, Petrous?

Doesn't it help to have a clue before posting for a reaction?

It's not a one-off typo. You're out of your element.

Call me what you want, but I'd gladly turn over all my assets and earning potential if I never had to pay for anything ever again.

And still hope to contribute to a better common world.

From the article:

More voters would be more likely to support a democratic socialist candidate than a Make America Great Again supporter or a candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump, the CNBC All-America Economic Survey released Friday found.

Many of the democratic socialists set to be on the ballot this year are calling for increased taxes on the wealthiest in America to fund universal healthcare, a higher minimum wage and universal basic income.


Well that sounds horrific.

No wonder Petrous and OneTrumper prefer king Trump destroying America.

Billions to Argentina. Billions to Israel. Billions hidden in a "bored of peace" account. Destroyed White House. Destroyed reflecting pool. Destroyed Kennedy center. Wars all across the world. ICE attacking and killing Americans. Trump suing America. Trump falling asleep every time he's on camera ...

Whoa.

A string of cognitive posts, imo.

I'm all for abolishing the electoral college. Times have changed. Not only do we not need the filter anymore, but the politics in this country have become problematic such that winner takes all is stupid. It's time for a method that better reflects the purple shading of the vast majority of US states.
