“He does not admit socialism failed because of socialism. He blames it on outside forces”

Yeah the General Mills, Monsanto’s and American Soy Bean Farmers didn’t give their goods and services away for free.

It was over when they ran out....

No, I have faith in the American people. She won a primary with an extremely low turnout. Let the Dems have her. Let America see what the Dems really believe. I want to see her elected. At some point, if she aspires to higher office she will have to debate someone and not go on Comedy Central and get fawning media coverage. When she gets called out on her crap, America will see her for the fraud she is (like, oh my god!!!). Remember, Obama hid his socialism well, she's laying it out there for all to see.

Like I said at the beginning of the post, I have faith in the American people

Oil production also.

Top production was 3.2 mb’s in 2008. Down to 1.8 mb’s now.

He’s going to fix things by doubling the high production of 2008?

Good luck with that!

Doesn’t matter that it’s failed - AGAIN! As they have done in the past and will continue to do, progressives/socialists/communists or whatever term they dream up tomorrow, will continue to claim that it’s not that socialism is a bad idea, the wrong people have been implementing it. Give geniuses like Bernie, Ocasio-Kotex, Lizzie Warren, etc., a crack at it and it’ll be heaven on earth...

No, her professors told her they just hadn’t had the right person lead it yet...socialism is a great model if the right people do it...you see, that is her!

Yes, they are that arrogant...nothing you say will change their minds.

Communism would work the kinks out if it elliminated all competing economic systems in the world.

Just as Islam would rule in peace if everyone would just submit to Sharia.

She has one very irritating voice. I like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard better.

Nikita Khruschev, “Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you”

Democrat/Socialist/Communist Liberalism’s goal is to destroy the country from the inside out.

None of them will ever listen. They all say that they will do it right this time.

“But the United States has the resources to do it successfully. And once Socialists control the U.S. we won’t be monkeywrenching Socialism in places like Venezuela.”

That will be their answer.

How can you be an admitted socialist when you are teaching economics??

About 6 years ago, I found myself in a Minnesota college's bookstore intrigued by a little book on capitalism. There was a shelf sticker with the course number, along with the price. I wanted to buy it for my own reading, in addition to buying all the other books my daughter was buying for her classes.

I was concerned though, so I asked permission from the store manager: "Is it okay to buy this book? I'm not in the course, and in case you have just enough for the students taking it, I don't want you to be short". He looked at the title, and laughed - "No problem whatsoever, please buy it".

In other words, socialism goes with the college territory.
