Americans Reject Socialism
An un-posted response to someone's post on social media, regarding a claim that Bernie Sanders massive redistribute "proposals" will somehow create jobs and improve the economy. I've found that on this particular social media platform, it's not really worth it to get into the weeds in any sort of serious, principles and detailed manner, as all sort of...let's just say "cheap seats" spectators might throw their tattered hats into the ring and just muddy up the discussion with uninformed nonsense. Anyway, my musings are as follows:
Bernie Sanders is a shameless snake oil peddler who seems to be incapable of doing basic arithmetic (or maybe that's on purpose). And this headline literally makes no sense. Sure, stealing more taxpayer $$$ from the general public to create and expand already-bloated federal bureaucracies might technically "create jobs" in that robbing Peter to pay Paul kind of way. Americans by and large know damn well that socialism is a terrible idea (and please don't give me that stupid "democratic socialism" nonsense) only leads to tyranny and ruin, and thus why he got decimated on super Tuesday; Dem voters would rather have an corrupt, senile pervert than a socialist gasbag who has never worked an honest day in his life as their party's nominee.
I'm going to laugh pretty hard every time people posts links w/ disingenuous clickbaity headlines from these clickbaity yellow journalism rags.
