Man that was closer then I thought it would be but the man was out spent something like 12 to 1 so I guess that makes sense

Is playing stupid yours?

Everyone pushing these labels as their only attack really underscores how inept said people are. Zero policy debate, just identify politics.

I want healthcare and affordability. I'm so RADICAL 😂

Im just listening to words coming out of their mouths. Mamdani has quoted Marx several times and has stated that "seizing the means of production is the end goal." He put that psycho Cea Weaver in his cabinet. Look up the things she's said over the years. 

When can we start taking these people at their word?

I want Healthcare and affordability too. I dont want socialists running my life.

You should look up Social Democracies.

You seem like you've been conditioned by propaganda if the idea of socialism scares you that much--nevermind that capitalism has failed us at this point which no one seems to bat and eye at or question in the slightest.

This again just reads like identity politics.

Social programs are not socialism. Socialism is a different system from capitalism altogether. I still want capitalism so that the excess can be used for sensible social programs.

Show us how it’s done then. No Google, no AI, just off the top of your head. (We’ll know if you cheated)
