97. Not a time for any of us to be faint hearted.

The Primaries are not the main work to be done. November 3rd is what we have to turn out for in fearsome droves.

"So I'm not in favor of risking it all in trying to sell Americans on socialism as much as I love Scandanavia." So, are you a pure Socialist? Because, otherwise you are projecting the same thinking that the average American gets criticized for when they reject the "Democratic Socialism" form of government. You have also called it socialism.

Maybe I haven't got it right, but I do not look at my Social Security as a freebie. The government took money out of my paycheck my entire working life, so I feel like it's work I did coming home to roost. I'm not embarrassed by it.

The point of my previous post was to point out that most citizens get it when they are told that Donald Trump and the TP are fascists. They can see this with every day that passes. We are not in a position to debate the finer points of "Social Democracy" and "Democratic Socialism." Trump is turning the United States into Trumplandia. He for sure isn't striving for any kind of government which might accrue to the benefit of We The People. No, he is in it for himself and his spawn. That's all. And he is willing to shred the Constitution in order to do it. I feel that Socialism will also want to shred the Constitution.

We are a long way from being perfect, for sure. But, we were getting better. As soon as Trump arrived, all those base-thinking people were given permission to come out from under their rocks. What a surprise to the rest of us! I certainly think that we can have anything we want if we figure out how to pay for it. But, it has to be a democratic decision by ALL of us, and not just by some people who got elected and then ran off with all the marbles.

We MUST win in November. I agree with you that this might not be enough to get rid of Trump and his thugs. I fear that. But, I do not choose to live under a dictator, and we have to find a way to get rid of Trump and to restore our country.
