Classic example of socialism in action

It has massively failed here and that is fact I know it and so do you.

Dems represent their own interests and no one elses.

 

Canada, Norway, Germany etc.

 

Oh,I am very much for underground electric vs high tension wires.

 

If I was a wealthy elite living on one of the coasts where I didn't have to mingle with the peasants or dirt poor living in the inner city with no plans to try to alter my circumstances, the Democratic Party would be a great fit.

But I'm simply a middle class taxpayer, which the dems don't represent very well...

 

No its succeeded in every significant way in the USA and everywhere else

 

Fascinating but since you are middle class the dems represent you better than anyone else.

Every policy as well as history shows that the dems are your best bet.

 

How?

They have empowered teacher unions at the expense of students and families, protecting votes rather than children. They tax and regulate to the point that the middle class keeps less of its earnings, all in the name of redistribution. They provide raises for public employee unions and ridiculous benefits in exchange for endorsements from said unions – all at the expense of taxpayers. Look no further than California and that leftist paradise:

They practice identity politics, as we saw in the recent Maryland Dem Senate race:

They demonize our police officers:

Wealthy cultural marxists love the left. Inner city residents love the left. Public employee employee unions love the left. The rest of us? Not so much.

You appear to be one of those typical leftists who lives in the Team Blue echo chamber. Feel free to back up your assertions with proof, but to be honest I'm not really interested in how you "feel" about these issues...

 

It has failed in the USa and elsewhere.

Denial is not a river in egypt

Th dems never represent the middle class history shows they are as bad a bet as the republicans. It is only blind idiotic partisanship which leads soft minded people to deny that fact

 

LOL, it has succeeded in the US in the most dramatic fashion.

Youre the one denying it, you cant even bring yourself to make an argument because you know you don't have one past your silly platitude.

Dem policy has supported the middle class throughout the 20th and 21st Century.

 

Thank You Scotland! You're wrong though.

 

Every single policy supports the middle class. Especially supporting teacher unions.

They enforce regulations to keep your family safe and enforce public investment in your schools. They make sure everyone pays taxes and even raise them to make sure that happens.

Need I mention Social Security, Medicaid, the ACA?

They opposed tax reductions that mainly benefit the rich and do not promote job growth in the Bush years. They supported a stimulus bill that stopped a depression.

You may argue that in some areas they have colluded with the GOP, that is true, but in general they are more on your side than not and that's why more people vote for them.

 

Indeed.

The US Federal government has managed feats that no one has ever seen in humanity's history. You are an empire of 370 million mostly well off people that stretches across 50 nation states and has landed men on the moon for Gods sake.

 

You have made no argument just blind assertions.

Your assertions are false and based on revisionist crap.

Dem policy has supported nothing except dems and it is you in denial and that is fact

 

You are simply parroting left wing talking points. The ACA is a mess:

The stimulus bill was a failure that, at best, paid for nonsensical, make-work projects. Even Obama admitted the "shovel ready" jobs he thought the stimulus package would fund were unattainable:

Scotland? What, you read the leftist NY Times online and think yourself an expert on U.S. economic policy?

Please, try to post some original thoughts here that you can back up with facts. You're simply wasting my time...
