Andy9o8 0 #2 August 4, 2015 Not to be a douche about it, but Democrats refer to their party as the DemocratIC party, and the adjective form of Democrat is, also, DemocratIC. Always been that way. The ephithet "Democrat party" is a Republican asshole-ism. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,396 #3 August 4, 2015 Both democrats and republicans are fervent socialists. The only differences between them have to do with who they want to tax, and who gets the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #4 August 4, 2015 billvonBoth democrats and republicans are fervent socialists. The only differences between them have to do with who they want to tax, and who gets the money. Yep. Pretty much any form of government is going to be by definition "socialist" to some extent. Even the most fervent free market anarchist tends to want something that is "socialist" in nature; roads for instance so he can ship his good to that free market.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That wouldn't demonstrate the difference between the Democratic Party and socialism (which is a really dumb question by the way - it simply doesn't make sense) it would only demonstrate the difference between Hillory [sic] and Bernie.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

It's the latest version of a "gotcha" question floating around the Republican talking heads. It's asinine. One might as well ask what's the difference between a Republican and a Socialist? The honest answer is one they can't answer in public. Try to say anything and it's easily shot down.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep- it all depends on who they want to shake down. Or subsidize, or take bribes from, or, you know, whatever. Republicans = Guns Democrats = Butter A society needs both really. The quibble is over how much of one vs another.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep- it all depends on who they want to shake down. Or subsidize, or take bribes from, or, you know, whatever. Republicans = Guns Democrats = Butter A society needs both really. The quibble is over how much of one vs another. I understand the Republican guns vs the Democrats butter.... What I am trying to get my head around is the Democrats butter vs the Socialists butter. FWIW, I am a no guns and no butter kind of guy. Both are bad for our health. Just to clarify, when I say no guns, I am referring to the military industrial complex, not private ownership.

brenthutch 383 #22 August 5, 2015 Yeah, it sucks being a libertarian, however let us drill down on the differences between a Socialist and a Democrat. From what I can see a Democrat is a Socialist that sells out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
