I guess it's bad for business....

but it's exactly what Liberals are all about when they refuse to acknowledge what they really are and opt for watered-down euphemisms

- leaders of the Young Turks and Young Democratic Socialists of America have told their supporters (AOC, Tlaib, etc) and recruiters to stop saying the words Socialism, Capitalism or Marxism as it is hurting their recruitment efforts.

Instead they are told to discuss shared struggles and keep away from framing the discussion as socialism vs capitalism. The training and recommendation is to pound 3 terms into people's heads

  • climate justice (wtf does that mean?)
  • healthcare for all
  • free K-16 tuition

"AOC plus three", Trump now calls The Squad...

Trump and The GOP must label the Democrats "socialists", say it all the time all day and all night, that is something the US public will oppose.

The thing is, a lot of the sheep want free stuff, it sounds so good, and so many Americans believe they are victims, hearing this free stuff all the time is appealing, irresistable, most of them do not pay any taxes, anyway (just do not call it socialism).

So YES it is wise for the Dems to erase the term "socialism", that will help them, but the Republicans need to drive the LABEL, the term home. They probably won't.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened.”

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

If you listen to Trump's speeches since the Dems laid out their hand at the Dem debates, he constantly says that "America will never be a socialist country". Over and over.
