We are capitalist, not socialist

Seems like a weird project from a bunch of students, feels like a funneling of right wing dark money and another desperate attempt to stave off the American interest in socialist policies. Also funny that the email at the bottom appears to be a link while being completely unclickable.

  Government systems, such as email links, should be made more simple.

  Weird project? They have many members of congress. Right wing money? How about common sense. Socialism has never, and will never, work.

They say they’re capitalist not socialist, but fail to draw a distinction between the two. What don’t they do that would be socialist, for example?

  Would not click on this headline. Buzzwords in title and domain name make it sound like political BS right off the bat.

That position could win a lot of elections - if they actually believe it, and consistently message it. But if that's really going to be them, they need to kick a number of people out of their party...

> "America is stronger than our politics." > Proceeds to spread the divisive (and false) right-wing meme that the Democrats are "socialist" as an attempt to pivot to the right. If appealing to Trumpists worked we'd be in a Harris administration now. As if Democrats have ever been even nominally leftist, much less in any way "socialist." They don't even have the spine to stand up against genocide. The right has spent a decade calling them Satanic pedophile communists and trying to gin up a civil war against the left that they're actually starting to roll out, they would literally rather die than vote for a Democrat, yet the Dems still want their approval. Fucking disgusting, they all deserve to hang.

We have Welfare Capitalism, which is considered socialist like Social Security, Welfare, and Disability. A social safety net is needed in case people get old or hurt, or can't work a job.

Google AI says most of them are funded by Israel. Is that true? https://www.thepromisetoamerica.com/signatories https://www.thepromisetoamerica.com/signatories

  “Google AI says most of them are funded by Israel. Is that true?” This is what’s wrong with the world in a nutshell.

    Bayesian statistics and rounding up? Certainly that can't be the thing that's wrong with the world.

      I think what they were saying is that people who choose to outsource their thinking to clankers are the problem. It's not that hard to look up funding on the fec's website.
