86 Dems vote for Socialism

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

GOP sends thankyou cards....

Seriously....this is obviously a resolution with no real need or usefulness. Just a political ploy...

86 D's provide the fodder the R's were looking for...pretty stupid IMO.

The House on Thursday approved a resolution denouncing socialism in a bipartisan vote that fractured the Democratic caucus.

The resolution overwhelmingly cleared the chamber in a 328-86-14 vote. The majority of Democrats — 109 of them — voted with all Republicans for the resolution, while 86 voted against it and 14 voted “present.”

The measure, which runs three pages, says “socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has time and time again collapsed into Communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorships.”

It argues that “many of the greatest crimes in history were committed by socialist ideologues” — mentioning Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez and Nicolás Maduro — and it lists atrocities committed under socialist regimes.

“Congress denounces socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States of America,” the resolution reads.

Today they are voting on who thinks Whoopi Goldberg is mean.

Welp...so long Social Security...and Medicare...and Medicaid. Socialism each and every one. That this got a single Dem vote is the travesty.

I would vote for socialism too.

They seems to have forgotten to add the leaders of European social democracies to the list of spooky socialist leaders.

Or “319 Republicans vote against social security.”

 

[anon_b29nm7v7dwp6r]

Jesus, what a colossally stupid vote.

Today they are voting on who thinks Whoopi Goldberg is mean.

That or what Biden’s nickname will be. “In other news out of the US House today, on a party line vote it was decided that the president should thus be referred to as “slow Joe”” for the remainder of this congress…meanwhile the Treasury has warned the US will default on next Tuesday…sources indicate the U.S. house is too busy to take up the problem…”

“From now on your Delta Tau name is Pinto.”

 

[markfromj]

“From now on your Delta Tau name is Pinto.”

“Why Pinto”?

 

[NoleATL]

And how many R's voted against preventing those who tried to overthrow the government from reading the pledge before meetings? You're giving the R's a huge pass on people who actually supported overthrowing our democracy.

 

[win4jj]

“Why Pinto”?

“Why not!”

 

[franklinman]

Or “319 Republicans vote against social security.”

Yep, can't fix stupid, and the cons proudly show that daily.

 

[tumorboy]

This crap doesn't matter. How many Republicans voted for Authoritarianism. The vast majority of them got elected again.

fify

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Or “319 Republicans vote against social security.”

Or...108 Dems voted against Social Security

Guess it's toast with that kind of Bipartisan support.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Thread title seems a bit off. In the body of the text it indicates that 86 voted against a resolution denouncing socialism.

I suppose that's the type of thing the GOP hopes for when they perform their charades.

The immaturity of the House GOPers is amazing. Who falls for this garbage?

Day by day, we’re finding out what McCarthy promised for the Speaker votes.

True. But a few "gotcha" resolutions are put forward by every congress.

I dunno, putting people on record on abortion rights or gun control or even impeachment is different than stupid shit like this. We’ll probably see a votes condemning “woke policies” and affirming “parent choice” next.

 

[cigaretteman]

Dumb.

 

[bdg8]

What funds social security again?

 

[seminoleed]

I wonder who the 86 are?

 

[abby97]

Jesus, what a colossally stupid vote.

Today they are voting on who thinks Whoopi Goldberg is mean.

So it appears obvious how you would have voted.

 

[alaskanseminole]

I wonder if when most people hear the word "socialism" their brains interpret it as "communism".

I've never understood why there's so much emphasis in these black and white words. Can't the U.S. just be a gray country installing a hybrid of laws and policies that simply work w/o the focus on what the frack to call it?

Oh yeah @FAUlty Gator is the biggest socialist 'round these parts.

Capitalist propaganda. Next question.

Is that similar to "clicks & likes"?

Why do Republicans hate our military and first responders?

 

[Tiny Hands Trump]

I'm glad the GOP is against the government subsidized ag industry. Let's cut that support now, lead the way GOP.

Who decided this needed to be voted on? What a ****ing waste of time

Is there going to be one denouncing fascist?

 

[Colonoscopy]

I'm impressed they managed to keep Hitler off the list.

Dems should put one forward

 

[alaskanseminole]

Can we get one denouncing that 'Influencer' is a career choice?
