Venezuela about to get crazy

This should be fun to watch and see how it unfolds. The other guy has the backing of the US government and we are now recognizing him as their president. I am curious on how this all plays out

No she’s for “democratic socialism”. Result would be the same

I just hope my mortgage is forgiven. Why stop at student loans?

AOC is not actually for "democratic socialism" as far as I can tell. Same with Sanders.

Instead they seem to be proponents of the nordic model of "socialism" -- which really isn't socialism at all, just stronger socialistic policy with an economy still based on free-market capitalism.

There are some merits to their approach.

Her and Bernie ought to clean up their language, though.

Actually being a proponent of democratic socialism would make her a radical given this definition:

"Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production with an emphasis on self-management and democratic management of economic institutions within a market or some form of decentralized planned socialist economy."

Radical in the sense that this would require a dramatic upheaval of our current economic system. Not advisable.

Maybe not, but that's what it would end up being. What an idiot (her not you).
