    Agree with the philosophy, but stupid that she’s running for president. Until/unless we change FPTP voting the only the Democrat and Republican running even matter and if you don’t explicitly vote for the one then your are implicitly voting for the other.

      Unless, and hear me out here, it is possible to change.

    When, I think of “socialism,” I think of modern day Scandinavian health care, not Soviet-era Russia. Who do these pants -wetting idiots think they’re scaring?

      Some more about why the Nordic model isn’t socialism:

      • What about social democracy / democratic socialism / the Nordic model? Isn’t Sweden socialist?
      • Scandinavia’s covert role in western imperialism

      Scandinavian healthcare isn’t socialism though, that’s part of the problem.

        I’m in the US where my doctor doesn’t give a fuck about my autoimmune condition nor answers any questions I ask except for just renewing my prescription and I have to pay $300 every visit for it

        There will always be some incompetent people in every profession. I’m sorry your doctor is one of them

            Hopefully the system can be changed. It’s evident that it needs to be addressed after the discovery and public rage against the monetary practices.

          But isn’t that the idea behind socialism? It’s not the individual actors that count. One person shouldn’t decide on behalf of someone else’s well-being.

      Well, considering the election results in Europe and the US, they are scaring a whole lot of people.

      It’s just American corporate FUD. Either you’re a complete balls-out capitalist, or you’re an ultra-commie. Nothing inbetween. Mention the EU and they stick their fingers in their ears and yell

          Not as bad as the Yanks. We have a number of socialist policies here which are all very useful.

    Every time someone says the phrase ‘spoiler candidate’ I sabatoge another mail ballot. Eat shit lesser evilists, your voting pattern is why the current election has gone from a lesser of two evils to the lesser of two genocides. Whats the next election going to be, the lesser of two nuclear wars? Y’all hate democracy but you lack the balls to say it, so you attack anyone who uses their democracy in ways other than you. You’re the reason for this electoral situation and yet you insist only your way will get us out? Spare me the jokes, it’s like trying to dig upward.
