Biden-Harris: The Socialist Ticket
Townhall.com ^ | November 4, 2020 | Tim Graham

Posted on 11/04/2020 4:45:02 AM PST by Kaslin

On the night before Halloween, Sen. Bernie Sanders tweeted a video of a socialist sermon he delivered to "The Squad" of new socialist congresswomen, touting a "Green New Deal" and the banning of private health insurance to have a "Medicare for All" system. Their goal is to make Biden the most socialist president imaginable -- or, in safer terminology, "the most progressive president since FDR."

Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, signed on to Bernie's socialist health-care bill in the Senate and proposed a Climate Equity Act with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

So, it is comical that the "independent fact-checkers" at PolitiFact threw a big red "False" flag at President Donald Trump for saying, "Socialism is the mainstream of the Biden campaign, and it's not the mainstream of America." PolitiFact's Amy Sherman insisted, "Biden and Harris reject Trump's socialism label."

Like every other Democrat, she complained, "Republicans have used the socialist label to attack Democrats and their policies for decades, including over programs such as Medicare or Social Security that ultimately became popular on both sides of the aisle." Democrats are betting they can keep socializing the economy while denying the S-word.

This defense is fascinating since PolitiFact has allowed leftists to call Trump a "fascist" and a "Nazi" and a "dictator" pretty much daily without getting out its little red pencil. For CNN to do a "fact-check" that resembled a Trump defense, CNN's Brian Stelter had to put on national television a nutty guest who claimed Trump would be more murderous than Hitler, Stalin and Mao combined.

Sherman insisted: "Socialism refers to a government takeover of industry, and Biden has not called for that. Experts say his positions on health care, energy and other areas are those of a moderate Democrat, not a socialist." What would these people do without "experts" to endorse their liberal views?

And Biden's a "moderate Democrat"? In 2020, a "moderate Democrat" is someone who wants to end capitalism in 20 years instead of ten. Moving toward a single-payer health care plan is moving toward that "government takeover" of health insurance.

This exercise in PolitiFact spin control ended with Sherman saying: "There's no support for the claim that Biden wants the U.S. to be like Cuba or Venezuela. We rate this claim False." But Biden made a "unity" platform with Bernie Sanders, who strenuously resists being pressed to say bad things about Cuban or Venezuelan socialism.

Skip over Biden's speech on July 9 in which he said, "It's way past time to put an end to the era of shareholder capitalism -- the idea (that) the only responsibility a corporation has is to its shareholders." PolitiFact was there to protect Biden from criticism of that claim, too. Facebook users published posts in response saying that Biden's loose talk is a threat to people's retirement investments. PolitiFact insisted those comments were "Mostly False" -- clearly to curb conservative Facebook messages.

PolitiFact ended the fall campaign by flagging Trump as "Mostly False" or worse on 52 occasions in September and October. It managed just one "Mostly True" for the president, and nothing ranked "True." His running mate, Vice President Mike Pence, was slammed with one "Pants on Fire," three "False" and one "Half True."

The notion that PolitiFact is a trustworthy site for your fact-checking needs is preposterous, unless you're looking for badly disguised Democratic Party evaluations of where the candidates stand. Socialism is in the mainstream of today's Democratic Party, and the Biden-Sanders "unity" platform underlines that the Biden-Harris ticket is a socialist ticket.

Biden-Harris: The Theft Ticket.

I knew there would be election fraud, but holy cripes I didn’t think it would be this extensive. They want us to believe an old man with dementia who can barely talk, who brings a crowd of 12 people at his rallies, who is corrupt as hell is running neck and neck with Trump?? BULL!!

They don't care what you believe. I'm guessing they are hoping that the president goes to the Supreme Court, that Coney-Barrett gets involved in any decision-making about the fairness of the election (which will ultimately go in their favor). This way, they will have toppled Trump, delegitimized his nominee (and the court as a whole) and humiliated you and me (think of what the media has been saying about us...and what is to come).

Then, they can get on with their "build-back-better" program which will mean communes for the useful idiots and gulags for you and me.

That should be repeated all day. There is no way he drew that many legitimate votes. Impossible. Rampant cheating in the election process is ongoing.

And did you see last night Trump was pulling way ahead in PA and all of sudden they announced they were stopping the count in PA. WHEN the hell has that ever happened??

Check it out....This is a final count I created. All the toss up states that Trump is currently leading in I changed to red, including PA. He is on line to win IF the election fraud is contained.

...I am reminded of that famous quote attributed to French philosopher Joseph de Maistre, “Every nation gets the government it deserves.”
I am soooooo disgusted at this point...all those BS prognostications of a “red tide,” talking heads projecting a 300-electoral college tally for Trump...all the crap about Biden being swamped with a Trump victory....all the apparent enthusiasm for Trump at those massive rallies....all bulls**t.....I am done with Tucker Carlson, Hannity, Laura Ingraham and all the rest...I will find better things to do with my evening hours than watch these frauds on teevee...
Freepers....good luck...there are plenty of dark days ahead if Trump does in fact lose to that PoS Biden....

The point isn’t to elect Biden, who will be 25th amendment out, or Harris, who is not an NBC, it isn’t even whoever they will replace them with.

The point is to destroy America’s faith in the integrity of the election system.

Mission accomplished...

Crony capitalists have invested heavily in Biden.

Biden has been a better servant of the connected than any DuPont ever could have been. Ask any credit card company executive.

“Biden and Harris reject Trump’s socialism label.”

I think Bite-me and the Ho are the ones that have been rejected, and for good reasons.

Socialist no. Marxist Communism, YES! A dead brain deadbeat and Willie Brown’s whore. Then Biden is declared a brain dead president, and the whore becomes president and selects one of her girl friends, Hillary??, or some other Marxist as her VP. Yup, America will be toast. All rights, freedoms, Constitution, 2d Amendment, freedom of speech, social media giants can legally control and cut off our speech, our message dies in our mouths, MSM, news papers, all print the death of the Republic, just as obama said. Took four years longer than they expected, but the results will be the same and will come. Trump, in my humble opinion, will be the last republican president. He is trailing in the popular vote by over three million. There goes the Electoral college next. Oh, wave bye to the congress next election. The senate will become theirs as they control all speech and content. Israel will be screwed. Muzzies will become the Whore House in Sodom on the Potomac’s will become their HQ. Nope, America is done. The Founder’s are spinning in their graves. All those lost in all our wars end up, in the end, dying for a dying and wickedly sinful and corrupt nation.

Yes it don’t look good now. He has to win either Nevada or Michigan or he will lose and Biteme is up in both those states.
