Seems to me that “Socialist Democracy” is a violation of the Constitution
LibTards don't care about the written Constitution. They believe in a "living breathing Constitution" which means that whatever five justices on the Supreme Court say is constitutional law, IS.
They insist on nominating hard-left jurists who are willing to twist it anyway they want to get the desired outcome.
See: Penumbras and Emanations .
It comes down to pure power, and the will to use it. They have both, mostly the Right never gets to the levels of Power that the Dems achieve, and also appear to lack the will to use it.
Arguably the biggest changes in America were FDR's New Deal (which AOC's "Green New Deal" is channeling) and then LBJ's Great Society. In both these eras the Dems had filibuster proof majorities in the Senate, and big majorities in the House. The GOP has never enjoyed that sort of one-party monopoly on power.
But then even if we did the sad sacks who run our party wouldn't do anything with it. Look at how little Paul Ryan acoomplished for Conservatives when he ran the House, with a GOP Senate and a GOP President. Why are we even arguing about Wall Funding *NOW*, when we just had everything needed to pass it?
The Republican Party is weak, because the ideology is weak and poorly understood.
Socialism is evil and never works, but it's adherents all can explain it, and believe in it, and have near religious fervor to fix everything based on it.
What's Mitch McConnell believe strongly in changing?
These programs already transformed America into a semi-socialist state. For instance: which part of the Constitution says "The Federal Government shall have the power to set up a mandatory retirement system for all citizens and require their contributions to it".
That's blatantly unconstitutional, but even most "conservatives" support Social Security, and get incensed if you suggest it should be shut down.
So, whatever RBG, Sotomeyer and a few others decide is OK under President Kamala Harris will be the law, and within 20 years most everyone, even so-called Conservatives will agree it's a well-established program / precedent that can't be disturbed.
But then, I'm sure you know all this.
The "Republican form of Government" clause sure as hell isn't going to stop them.
Yeah, but, don’t think you are the only one it pizzes off. I’m of the faith that CWII won’t happen unless it has to.
