drbubb Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Democrats, Young Voters Attracted By Socialism Democrats are far less convinced than Republicans and unaffiliated voters that a free-market system is superior to a socialist one and are much more willing to vote for a socialist candidate. Those under 40 are a lot more responsive to the siren call of socialism than older voters are. Democrats are far less convinced than Republicans and unaffiliated voters that a free-market system is superior to a socialist one and are much more willing to vote for a socialist candidate. Those under 40 are a lot more responsive to the siren call of socialism than older voters are. A new Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 69% of all Likely U.S. Voters rate a free-market economic system as better than socialism. Just 12% think socialism is a better economic system, but 18% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.) A closer look, however, finds that while 87% of Republicans and 69% of voters not affiliated with either major party see a free-market system as better, just 53% of Democrats agree. Twenty-one percent (21%) of Democrats like socialism better, with a sizable 25% not sure. Forty-one percent (41%) of Democrats say they would vote for a presidential candidate who identifies himself or herself as a socialist, but only 19% of GOP voters and 16% of unaffiliateds agree.

drbubb Posted December 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 They showed far greater reluctance than those on the left of the political spectrum, with just 37 per cent of Liberal Democrat and 36 per cent of Labour student voters expressing the same hesitation. Green party supporters were the most confident expressing their political views, with just 32 per cent expressing any reluctance to do so. Overall, one-quarter say they feel unable to express their views because they are scared of disagreeing with their peers, according to the research published on Thursday. However, the students also revealed that they think freedom of expression is more at risk in broader society than at university: 22 per cent of students believe freedom of speech is under threat at their institutions, but over half (51 per cent) think it is at risk in British society. The sample was compared to answers from 2,000 members of the general public, with both groups finding some commonality. The vast majority of students (81 per cent) and the public (78 per cent) say that freedom of speech is now more critical than ever. Nearly two-thirds of both parties (64 per cent of students and 60 per cent of the general public) also think that young people today are less accepting of offensive or challenging speech than young generations of the past.

drbubb Posted December 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Thanks (for exposing your agenda)... But NO! Thanks Shattered dreams of global far-left revolution... LONDON (AFP) — Jeremy Corbyn had hoped to become the vanguard of a global socialist movement but will step down in humiliation after overseeing his party’s worst election defeat since 1935. To his supporters, the 70-year-old offered a chance to deliver a radical leftist agenda, shaking up the economy and reversing a decade of Conservative public spending cuts. His vision attracted droves of young supporters, celebrity backing and the endorsement of other figures of the global socialist movement, with high-profile US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sending a supportive tweet on polling day. . . . He commands cult-like adoration from young supporters in England’s larger urban centers, and in the 2017 election used this to huge effect. Britain’s Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn speaks at a rally outside Bristol City Council while on the General Election campaign trail, in Bristol, England, December 9, 2019. (Joe Giddens/ PA via AP) He held huge rallies around the country, and that year tens of thousands sang his name as he addressed the Glastonbury Festival. But he lost some of his sheen for many pro-European youngsters with his ambivalent stance on Brexit, and the wider public were not convinced. He went into this election as the most unpopular opposition leader to have contested a British vote. Corbyn caused some trouble for Johnson by accusing the prime minister of plotting to sell off the National Health Service in a “toxic” post-Brexit trade deal with US President Donald Trump. Exclusive–Ortiz: Boris Johnson Election Victory Bad News for Democrats Boris Johnson’s dominant election victory in the U.K. national election this week is great news for the U.S., yet terrible news for the Democratic Party. Defying the pundits, Johnson romped to a majority government in the biggest conservative victory since Lady Thatcher in the 1980s... The outcome should make Democrats nervous. The Labour Party candidate, Jeremy Corbyn, is a socialist who promised to nationalize vast swaths of the U.K. economy. He enjoys support from adolescents, activists, and actors but not ordinary workers. He’s a dour and depressing curmudgeon. In other words, he would be right at home in the Democratic presidential primary field. Joe Biden has already trumpeted the results to argue that a radical leftist cannot win a national election. “Look what happens,” he said, when you move “so, so far to the left.” And yet the Democratic presidential candidates continue to trip over themselves to see who can get farthest to the left on taxes, healthcare, education, regulations, and energy. The growing number of suburban voters who will determine the next election are centrists, not socialists. They want a good economy to provide for their families and pay off their mortgages. By sucking trillions of dollars from these communities in the form of tax increases and burdening local businesses with over-regulation, the Democratic Party threatens the economic growth to which they have become accustomed thanks to Trump.

drbubb Posted December 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Returning the Future to Individuals: What the UK Election Has to Say About the 21st Century The decisive defeat of the British Labour party strongly suggests that a fundamental shift in the politics of the world has taken place — that the non-ideological wave of unrest sweeping the world really has deeper roots than Donald Trump or Fox News. Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, the founders of Fusion GPS, tried to blame the fall of Labour on Putin. Britain needs its own Mueller report: a full, independent and public accounting of Russian efforts to interfere in its politics. Few people will look forward to this process in a country already exhausted from fighting over Brexit. But it’s essential to halt Russia’s attack on Britain’s democracy and restore confidence in its politics. But it's no use. Something tectonic has shifted. It is correct but not enough to say, as Andrew Sullivan observed, that "one lesson from the UK: if the Democrats don't stop their hard-left slide, they'll suffer the same fate as Labour. If they don't move off their support for mass immigration, they're toast. Ditto the wokeness. Left Twitter is not reality." Beyond this, it is essential to recognize that the age of giant state projects, unelected global organizations and millennial endeavors is over. The componentization phase of globalization has begun. One can't roll the world back to pre-globalization days, but for it to be sustainable, things have to be encapsulated to safeguard protected memory spaces. There is a need for standard interfaces, not "open borders." The networked world has been overwhelmed by complexity, whether it takes the form of the breakdown of trusted authority or the dazzling profusion of "collusion." The intellectual challenge is how to make it safe for people to deal with strangers in a connected world. The problem can be solved but it can't be solved by people who don't think it's a potential problem. One example of such dangers is the foreign funding of American universities. "An Education Department investigation revealed universities failed to report more than a billion dollars in foreign funding, which officials believe is only a sliver of the unreported overseas donations flowing onto campuses." Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told the Washington Examiner she had launched a preliminary investigation into six universities but already turned up an alarming $1.3 billion in foreign funding over the past seven years from nations such as China, Russia, and Qatar that the schools hadn’t told the federal government about, despite their legal requirement to do so. “It is already a reporting requirement for schools to report all foreign contributions. From my perspective, it’s a simple requirement: Report all foreign money you get.” DeVos said. “We’re going to continue to raise the flag on this, and we think, just given what we’ve seen scratching the surface, there’s a lot there that has gone undetected. The future, far from being a stately progression of Five-Year Plans presided over by elites, has turned out to be a flood of destabilizing development, technology and discovery. Current institutions can't control the future; they can barely cope with it. The voters realized this before the elites did. We will have our hands full just answering the question: "what did we just learn?" "We live in a world whose unfoldings we often cannot prevision, prestate, or predict— a world of explosive creativity on all sides." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted December 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 American Corbynism [See: Communism, Marxism, Anti-Semitism] is Every Bit as Toxic as British Corbynism; Will it be Crushed as Well? American Corbynism is embodied not just in Bernie Sanders and the Squad, but in the broader “progressive” wing of the Democratic Party driven by the same anti-Western, anti-Capitalist, anti-Zionist dead end ideologies and obsessions which turned British Labour into at toxic waste dump. Richard Littlejohn in The Daily Mail notes that the British vote was a reaction to the disrespect shown voters: Without the gridlock over Brexit, caused by Corbyn and Labour, there wouldn’t have been an election. Since it was called, they’ve tried to make it about anything but. Voters had other ideas, fortunately. They saw through Labour’s Fantasy Island giveaway manifesto, and the lies about selling the NHS to Trump. Getting Brexit Done became an article of faith. This was as much a vote for the sacred principle of democracy as it was for the Conservatives. . . . On both sides of the pond, there also is a recognition that more is at stake, as Melanie Phillips, in a wonderful column, describes: The stakes in this election were enormous, not just for Britain but for the world. Labour is led by the most far-left leadership in its history, supporting terrorists abroad and incubating virulent antisemitism at home. If elected it would have wrecked Britain’s economy, attacked the State of Israel and posed a mortal threat to the security of Britain, its Jewish community and the west. It was defeated by a seismic shift which may just have redrawn the British political landscape for ever…. Why? Because the British working-class is deeply, passionately patriotic and attached to democracy. They are the very best of Britain. Time and again they have saved the country in its wars against tyranny by putting their lives on the line to defend what it stands for: their historic culture, institutions and values. Sound familiar? Here, American Corbynism is embodied not just in Bernie Sanders and the Squad, but in the broader “progressive” wing of the Democratic Party driven by the same anti-Western, anti-Capitalist, anti-Zionist dead end ideologies and obsessions which turned British Labour into at toxic waste dump. Democrats allow American Corbynists into their mainstream at their electoral peril. / 2 / O'REILLY: Election 2020 will either kill off the left or chaos will ensue Bill O'Reilly is a man of strong opinions and he didn't disappoint on radio Friday.

That included all people 16 and older who did not live in an institution (such as a prison, nursing home or long-term care facility). Of that civilian non-institutional population, 164,606,000 were participating in the labor force, meaning that they either had a job or were actively seeking one during the last month. This resulted in a labor force participation rate of 63.4 percent, the highest it's been since June 2013. The number of Americans counted as not in the labor force -- meaning they did not have a job and were not looking for one -- dropped by 442,000 in January (after population control adjustments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted February 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Poll: Majority of Americans Would Not Support a Socialist Candidate The majority of Americans would not support a socialist candidate, a Gallup poll released on Tuesday showed. The survey, which polled 1,033 adults January 16-29, 2020, asked respondents: Between now and the 2020 political conventions, there will be discussion about the qualifications of presidential candidates — their education, age, religion, race and so on. If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be [characteristic], would you vote for that person? Socialism is the only characteristic that garnered less than majority support, with only 45 percent indicating they could support a socialist candidate. A majority, 53 percent, said they could not back such a candidate. A majority of Democrats, 76 percent, are willing to support a socialist candidate, but less than half of independents, 46 percent, indicated that they could support a socialist. The opposition is strongest among Republicans, with only 17 percent indicating that they could support a socialist. As Gallup details: Democrats express at least somewhat more willingness than Republicans to support most of the candidate types tested, with the widest gaps seen for Muslims, atheists and socialists. While at least two in three Democrats say they would vote for presidential candidates with these profiles, support among Republicans drops to just over 40% for Muslims and atheists, and to only 17% for socialists. The survey included a variety of other characteristics to choose from. An overwhelming majority of respondents — over 90 percent — indicated that they would support a candidate who is Catholic, Jewish, black, Hispanic, or a woman. Eighty-percent indicated that they would support an evangelical Christian, and 78 percent said they would support a candidate if he or she identified as gay or lesbian. Over half of respondents also indicated that they would support their candidate if he or she was a Muslim, atheist, over the age of 40, or younger than 40. Socialism is the only characteristic that garnered less than majority support. The survey’s margin of error is +/- 4 percentage points. The results come as a Democrat socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), leads the Democrat primary field. He has surpassed Joe Biden (D) in the RealClearPolitics’ rolling national average, with 23 percent to Biden’s 20.4 percent. Sanders long refrained from using the word “socialism” to describe his views, telling the University of Vermont’s Vermont Cynic in 1976 that “people have been brainwashed into thinking socialism automatically means slave-labor camps, dictatorship and lack of freedom of speech.” Sanders tried to explain his position last year, telling the National Public Radio’s (NPR) Morning Edition, “What I mean by democratic socialist is that I want a vibrant democracy.” However, he admitted that his vision involved the extreme redistribution of wealth — a hallmark of socialist ideology. “Second of all, what it means … is that the wealthiest country in the history of the world we can provide a decent standard of living for all … people,” Sanders explained. “That’s just the reality.” Many of his plans — including Medicare for All and his Green New Deal — involve massive government growth, excessive taxation, and redistribution. President Trump recently referred to Sanders as a “communist,” which Sanders denied. In his rebuttal, the socialist senator argued that “in many respects, we are a socialist society today,” citing tax breaks for the fossil fuel and pharmaceutical industry. “The difference between my socialism and Trump’s socialism is I believe the government should help working families, not billionaires,” Sanders said during a February appearance on Fox News Sunday.

drbubb Posted February 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 It’s Now Official: The Communists Have Taken Over the Democrat Party NASHUA, N.H. — Dreary weather failed to dampen voter turnout in New Hampshire's "first in the nation" primary, and it couldn't stop the socialist revolution brewing in the heart of the Democratic Party. ABC and NBC News declared Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) the winner of the Granite State primary on Tuesday, albeit by a narrower margin than many had anticipated. The socialist insurgent, propelled by a formidable ground game, led all candidates with 26 percent of the vote, with more than 90 percent of the state's precincts reporting. "This victory here is the beginning of the end for Donald Trump," Sanders told supporters in Manchester, promising additional victories in upcoming contests thanks to his "unprecedented grassroots movement from coast to coast." Though Sanders struck a conciliatory tone by pledging to "unite" the Democratic Party, he also took veiled shots at his rivals, reiterating his commitment to taking on "billionaires and candidates funded by billionaires." Sanders's strong performance, on the heels of a (sort of) victory in the disastrous Iowa caucus, makes him the prohibitive favorite to win the nomination of a party to which he doesn't belong, with an establishment wing that remains highly skeptical of his socialist bravado.

And there aren't enough of those to get Bernie elected imho. It is about time this crazy Socialist bubble got burst, It grew because too many females went to college and got useless degrees, and when they came out they found they were virtually unemployable and want out of their College loans. An intelligent solution might be to let them out of half, in return for a share of their future income. This could be financed by taking half the pensions of the profs who taught those useless course, Wise & fairer than anything Bernie has suggested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
