Polls

I dont believe young people will get any happier. I think people in their 20s are relatively so broke and hopeless, and not amazed by almost anything because of prior exposure with the internet, that the mid-life crisis will just become a horribly unhappy time.

If you would like to see how Democratic Socialists define themselves:

Democratic socialism is a political ideology that advocates for a democratic political system alongside a socially-owned or controlled economy, where the means of production are managed by the public or workers to meet social needs rather than private profit. It seeks to combine the principles of democracy, such as individual freedoms and multi-party elections, with a fundamental transformation of the economy.

Core Principles

Political Democracy: Upholds civil liberties, freedom of speech and assembly, and free elections within a multi-party system.

Economic Democracy/Social Ownership: Believes the economy should be democratically run. This can take various forms, including public utilities, government-owned industries, or worker-managed cooperatives, to ensure resources benefit the community as a whole.

Social Welfare: Strongly supports robust social safety nets and universal access to essential services like healthcare and education, funded through progressive taxation.

Reduced Inequality: Aims to significantly minimize wealth disparity and ensure a basic standard of living for all citizens.

Feature Democratic Socialism:

Economic Goal Seeks a systemic transformation to replace capitalism with a post-capitalist socialist economy. Works within a reformed capitalist framework, aiming to mitigate its negative effects through regulation and a strong welfare state.

View of Capitalism Critical of capitalism, seeing it as inherently incompatible with true freedom and equality in the long term. Accepts a mixed-market economy, using government intervention to protect consumers and establish social programs.

Examples of Policies and Figures

Universal healthcare

Free tuition at public colleges

Strong labor unions and workers' rights

Aggressive climate action and public investment in renewable energy

Increased taxes on the wealthy and corporations

In our house, our pet dog has a box full of toys: balls, stuffed animals, chew toys.

My wife and I, together, have fewer toys, compared to our dog, and that's counting our phones, tablets, laptops, board games and jigsaw puzzles.

Let's ignore kids if you have any. Kids almost always have lots of toys. Our kids are grown and out of the house. Their toys either went with them, to charity, or to the trash..

Who has more toys? You or your Pet (s)?

Trump would like to remain in office after 2028

This is why Trump wanted to shut down Gov't and not allow 218th vote to release files. Swear in the lady elected in Arizona and release the files.

I have never seen a swing like that in just one year. Trump approval rating is now 37% and the voting Tuesday showed how accurate the polls are.

He has not delivered on promises and actually done things he said he wouldn't.

If she also said she’s been thinking about it and she realised she’s not getting what she needs out of a relationship. Never told each other “I love you” after a year together. And also said you can’t change someone and also said she’s felt more like friends recently. And she wants to stay friends but doesn’t see a future together as romantic partners.
