Sadly, it looks like the Dems will nominate Sanders and lose to Trump in a landslide. The bad news is we’ll have four more years of Trump. The good news is it will destroy the socialism movement for 20 years or so.
Remember when we had competent, intelligent, articulate people in the executive? We’d go weeks without hearing from them, and not dread it when we did. (Long deep sigh.)
A socialist is likely to win the 2020 election. No, not Bernie Sanders.
Unlike his preferred boogeymen (and boogeywomen) on the far left, though, Trump has actually implemented anti-market, Soviet-style, centrally planned policies, and he has used the power of the state to punish political enemies. He has merely chosen different beneficiaries (and victims) of his Big Government bigfooting.,,In some ways, in fact, Trump has proved himself a more successful socialist than Sanders is likely ever to be…Trump, meanwhile, has brainwashed his supposedly free-market party into backing a command-and-control-style economy. When it’s commanded-and-controlled by Trump, anyway. With nary a peep from his party, Trump has tried to prop up pet industries, such as coal, by government fiat…Trump has slapped tariffs on virtually every major trading partner around the world to protect favored industries, such as steel…Already, Trump’s farmer trade bailouts are more than double the size of the 2009 auto bailout…Trump’s version of socialism soaks the poor, not the rich…If conservatives are genuinely frightened by Sanders’s proposed downward redistribution of wealth, they might consider the sort of redistribution practiced by Trump — in particular, the many ways Trump has used his office to redistribute taxpayer dollars into his own pocket.

Trump is in your face 24/7. Difficult to avoid politics when there is a Traitor who is president.

You talk about people that you don’t know,
You talk about people wherever you go.
You just talk, talk too much.
You talk about people that you’ve never seen,
You talk about people, you can make me scream.
You just talk, you talk too much

Bizarre, the leftist definition of democracy is, “nobody is allowed to disagree with me.”
