Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, August 16, 2026

Poll results released from mega-oligarchs Larry and David Ellison-owned CBS: "Democrats are mostly positive on socialism and have a more favorable impression of it than of capitalism. Socialism finds more positive views among Democrats with college degrees than those without. They're even more likely to perceive a gap between the richest and the middle class."

Americans see Canada to the north with their universal healthcare, low gun and police violence, reined in oligarchs, and they see Mexico to the south which will have universal healthcare for all her people in 2027.

Progressive Democrats are asking: "Why not us in Amerikkka?"

What a surprise!

Slamming NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and progressuve Democrats is another AIPAC pod-person.

AIPAC-ers in America are like the invasive species of aliens covertly taking over the world in the book (Jack Finney, 1955) and three films Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956, 1978, and 1993).

Social Democracies are usually prosperous, happy democracies; even businesses and commercial interests do well.

Authoritarian hell holes like Russia, China, NK, and others with Socialist or Communist facades hiding Crony Capitalist governments are thrilled to see Trumpublicans turning America into the same kind of Authoritarian hell hole.

Hello Old Friend

Indeed.

AIPAC agit-prop kicked in full steam in America after the 9/11 attacks in the US and the rise of the Likud Party in Israel after PM Yitzhak Rabin was murdered by a right-wing zealot in 1995.

Note that ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Satanyahu has watched four POTUS leave office while Israel has slowly seized more Palestinian property, killed tens of thousands of Muslims in the Middle East, and is occupying Lebanon south of the Litani River, all while Israelis enjoy worldclass universal healthcare and we're stuck with the BBB and Trumpf Diarrhea Syndrome (TDS).

And a bankrupted economy thanks to Bibi and the war against Iran the US is fighting for him.

Social Democracies are usually prosperous, happy democracies;

The US is a social democracy, according to your definition, with almost 1/2 of its budget on welfare and entitlements, it spends just as much if not more money on a per citizen basis than some "happy democracies". ($11,167 to $12,300 per capita)

The US is a democratic republic headed towards being an Authoritarian Corrupt Capitalist society like China, just hiding behind democracy rather than communism.

Since you haven't a clue, let's give you one; prior to Reaganism and Supply Side Economics, companies paid a Living Wage and welfare entitlements weren't so necessary; people could afford healthcare, homes, and education.

Your perspective is rather weird for a supposed Bernie supporter turned Trump Obfuscator.
