While China, Russia, and much of the world appears to be shifting toward a market economy, has the USA veered into deepening socialism?

Global economic problems start every time the US lurches towards socialist economic fuckwittery.

With a bit of luck Coma Joe will push on long enough to be forced to drop out with no real replacement and a Free Market Economy - either under Kennedy (my preference) or Trump can emerge.

RFK Jr would be a better option as he could realistically sit two consecutive terms - something neither Don nor Sleepy can do as it will be their second term either way.

For pity's sake America, vote for someone with a decent statistical chance of living four more years!

COVID-19 recession: Trump
Great Recession: Bush
Early 2000s recession: Bush, GW (granted, he'd only been in a couple of months)
Early 1990s recession: Bush, HW

"While it is difficult to assess blame for the root causes, at least one recession did begin under every Republican president since Ronald Reagan compared with zero under Democratic presidents over the same period."

No. It's a question of what people think they would like, not what has happened. In reality, almost all countries combine the two.

If you asked "Would you prefer to live in a country without social security?", what do you think the percentages would be? Would that be a capitalist or a socialist country?

Also, 40% is a minority. Minorities should be protected, but they shouldn't get to rule.

The U. S. has been heading toward socialism and communism starting with Clinton. Obama accelerated it greatly in his own term and continued to do so during Biden's, now he plans to finish the country off during Michelle's upcoming 2 terms.

Regardless of whether or not Michelle becomes president. the future for the USA does not appear bright.

[Surely]

I have been thinking the same thing. Just hope that we are both wrong!

[DryGermanGuy]

Please seek counseling for your Michelle Obama fetish.

[Astarlessnightsky]

No. USA is further away from socialism than ever before.

[exitseven]

Yes, democrats pr as they are now known as socialists want America to be a commie country.

[SotiCoto]

Lesser of two evils, probably.

That said, both are collectivist authoritarian institutions, so they're both fucked up.

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah it’s fucked.




We’ll own nothing, and be happy.




I’ll end my line when it gets to that point. Honestly

[Juxtapose]

That's why you vote for Donald Trump and end this madness.

Nope
