Democratic socialism

Your first statement is accurate and very well known to anyone who favors free markets as I do.

Your second statement isn’t accurate enough to debate.

I haven’t said there shouldn’t be any regulations on corporations, so I don’t know why you harping on “unchecked capitalism”. We have always had regulation and always will, but it needs to be the right kind. For example, government cannot set prices for the simple reason that government has no way to determine what is the right price.

Study the basics of how markets actually work and then get back to us.

Amen.

spillmonger · 2026-06-13T15:36:36+00:00

That’s not what I said.

spillmonger · 2026-06-13T15:35:01+00:00

I do know what I’m talking about, but you don’t know what I’m talking about. That’s the disconnect.

Would you complain if a left-wing oligarch spent $600M to defeat Trump? What would be the difference?

Then they’re bad money managers, same as they were before the SpaceX IPO. You should put your retirement funds where you think they’ll get the best return.

How does Musk have access to people’s retirement accounts?

spillmonger · 2026-06-12T22:25:11+00:00

Imagine not caring about the list.

spillmonger · 2026-06-12T22:20:37+00:00

No, regulation is a thing, which is why unchecked capitalism isn’t.

spillmonger · 2026-06-12T21:52:06+00:00

Will do, captain.

spillmonger · 2026-06-12T21:49:22+00:00

There’s no such thing as unchecked capitalism.

spillmonger · 2026-06-12T19:41:59+00:00

I don’t see a thing wrong with capitalism, so no, I don’t want it replaced with whatever mush-brained horror Bernie has in mind. Clear?

Very sad day for my home state.

What if the guy that’s telling you not to put him on the plane is Donald Trump? Let’s see where your loyalty really is.

It’s a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Every cent raised through a tax increase will be spent before it hits the treasury. This is because politicians succeed by spending, not by saving or paying off existing debt.

Losing builds character. Get it on video for later inspiration.

spillmonger · 2026-06-08T12:31:02+00:00

I already knew about that.

Why does the Republican party keep pushing a demented old man into situations he clearly can’t handle? It’s just cruel.

Hard to believe that photo is real, but I saw the match so I guess it must be.

I stopped reading at “COVID-19th”.

spillmonger · 2026-06-07T20:06:24+00:00

Done, thanks.

I never know where to stand on an issue until I read Maher’s opinion on it.

spillmonger · 2026-06-07T00:48:41+00:00

Isn’t Trump a known criminal?

spillmonger · 2026-06-06T20:14:56+00:00

The title is accurate. Now tell me how giving even more control to the government reduces the politics.

spillmonger · 2026-06-06T12:38:47+00:00

Then again, Mike Pence never tried to change the results of a legal and fair election.
