Wait, are socialism and communism the now the same thing? This probably explains how certain people are able to claim the likes of Norway or Sweaden aren't socialist at all.  Seeing as people in both countries don't regularly die from treatable illnesses,  because of a lack of personal resources, it seems that they must in deed practice some form of socialism. 

What are you referring to? Universial health care? Don't know if you read much, or even understand basic economics, but if you do. Then should understand that the US health care system as it is currently configured, is not sustainable long term.  It is also nearly twice as expensive to run, covers fewer people, and has worse health outcomes than than your socialist universal health care system as practiced in most other developed countries.

You are just repeating the same broken record. Nothing new here. Just boiler plate conservative talking points, with zero substance to speak of. 

Socialism and communism are not the same thing as I have stated many times, but they are closely related, and many, myself included, believe that pure socialism eventually leads to communism as government grows bigger and bigger.  Additionally, I have also pointed out many times that there is a big difference between social democracies such as the Scandinavian countries and democratic socialism as promoted by Bernie Sanders and AOC.  Whenever someone or some entity starts promoting the government control of economic capital, I cringe as we know the government bureaucracy is the most inefficient entity in existence. 

 

As to the broken record comment, you are right, socialism/communism is a broken record that has failed over and over again, but for some reason people want to keep trying it.

They sure don't seem to be heading in that direction at least at this point.  I think Rahm E. is even coming out saying it looks bad that the GOP is more eager to vote on some of the Democrat proposals than the Democrats do (Green New Deal, Impeachment, etc.).

 

Here is what I don't understand, Nancy says "I don’t think he’s fit to be president of the United States.", but then she says no to impeachment.  Seems like a contradiction to me.  If she truly believes he is unfit for the office, isn't it her political duty to pursue impeachment?

no, it is not. he has not passed the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors, something that can be proven. plus the senate will never vote to impeach.

 

Nancy was around when the Republicans tried to Impeach clinton and saw how that failed spectacularly

Considering that impeachment is a political process, the high crimes and misdemeanors bar is fairly low.  Speaker Pelosi said President Trump was unfit for office, so whip up some HCaMs and get on with it.  You are right that the Clinton impeachment failed in the Senate, but in my opinion, the House had no other alternative, Clinton lied under oath, a crime that has put other people in jail, that the Senate chose not to follow through shows just how political impeachment is.

The people calling for Trumps impeachment are just as idiotic as those that called for Obummers impeachment. We dont impeach people because we disagree with their policies
